Pink Lemonade & Shades of Fall Placement

[Sawdonkey]

I know a lot of you guys have one or both of these. I understand they are very similar and some believe that they are the same coral. I just got a frag of Shades of Fall and it looks pretty pale. I'm not sure if it is just from transporting and dipping it, or if I have it too high in my tank.

Where do you keep yours to get the best color?

Mid-level for pink lemonade with high flow. It's fallen a couple times behind rocks but colors back up pretty quickly for me. Has a real nice yellow/green base with bright pink polyps now.


I'm running reefbreeders @ 75 blue/50 white mid-day.

How high are you hanging your lights?

 

[imranh]

Lights are hanging real low. I'd say 2inch max from water. So PL is approx. 14 inches from light with 12 of those inches being water.


I did also swap out the red/green LEDs for blues and violets so it's not a stock fixture.

How high are you hanging your lights?

I have Tyree Pink Lemonade and ATL Shades of Fall and they are not the same coral.

Both are high up but only at about 350 PAR.

Pink lemonade will become more yellow/pink when up high. Also likes a lot of flow. I have a frag of SoF and it seems to be pretty happy in the middle. lime green base w/bright red tips. Definitely not the same corals.

My Shades of Fall is in the center of the tank, and about 18 inches beneath the light. My light is an ATI Powermodule 6x54. It seems to do well there.
