Bob ,

For sure its a nice piece. I cut a nice mini colony of the Upscales and put it next to it .

Good idea.. I think I'll be switching to 20k sometime soon my upscales polyps are fading a little, either that or I look at it to much... 12k holds the base color on the acro but the polyps don't stay as bright as a 20k.. Maybe I can get the polyps to stay bright and still have great growth with a 14k??? What do you think???

Bob1000,

Just a heads up before you buy a 14k bulb. The reeflux 12k are not really 12k. They are bluer than most 14k bulbs on the market imo. If you are looking for something with more blue than the reeflux 12k, you probably want to go with a 20k bulb. Steve has used them too so maybe he will chime in as well.

 

[Bob 1000]

Thanks Wes I just thought that the 20k's keep the polyps red and purple er on the ones with these deeper colored polyps...

Bob I have used 12k reeflux ,14.5 Megachrome , 20k helios ( 180) 20k Radium ( Cube).. Polyps still maintain the purple color. I think when you where here I had the 20k helios.

here is the pic of it on my cube under 20k Radium

Okay, then I'll just leave the 12k's for another 6 month's and then check the color on the purple polyps..

Are you having problems keeping the purple polyps?.. Leave it and let it get settled ..

 

[Bob 1000]

The polyps got a little dull after 3 weeks... I raised it up in the tank and I'll just leave it there for a couple months..
