SpS Question ???

[cosmokramer]

Hey guys i have a weird question for ya i have a 40g breeder tank with 234 watts worth of t5 ho bulbs all different spectrum's. I have all sorts of sps corals sure as red planets, purple nana, and a few different acro's. Here's the question all of them are doing great and have polyp extentions and are growing but all of them are turning neon green.?? i dont know if its from too much light or that ive been vodka dosing for 3 months ive tried to google it but i have not found anything anybody have any ideas ?????

I'm assuming its just way too bright.

Is the Red planet turning green towards the bottom? If so, this is normal for Red Planets. If the light is too much, it is usually all red. If too little, then it turns green first/eventually maybe even brown due to lack of light. If your light is Just just right, the red planet has a nice light green tint and the base, and the rest is vivid red.

from what i was told i have more than enough light so i dont believe that is the case especially with such a short tank and running 6 t5ho 39 watts bulbs

to much light i had the same problem but i have leds i was able to dial down the intensity and add more blue and less white all sps can change colors and adapt to the lighting condition thats one of the signs i dont think it would have anything to do with vodka doseing

Your red planet is what it suppose to look. Red at tips and green at base. Your other can be find to. Blue tips and green base. I think your light are telling you everything is doing great. Just my opinion. Looking to follow this...

it is Important to tell us the spectrum of your bulb combo ! and the brand as a 10k or 14k bulb are different colors!! with t5 selection of bulbs makes sps grow different colors!!

 

[felix tesler]

iam sticking to my opinion by looking at your pictures iam convinced that you have a lighting problem and those look like acros which will change colors depending on the lighting conditions

When the red planet turns green at the base its been told to much light. Many have real pink to red red planets but they are usually in lower light. Right now you have small frags and the real color will color up in time. Its hard to say what they will look like till it gets bigger
