The Brown Experiment
Doing abit of experiment. I have obtained some brown SPS. I'm going see how fast they colour under sunlight. I don't any great expectations and I don't expect them all to survive but worth a short.

SPS 1.

My money is on the deep water Acro's to color up first.
I think you have two Acropora lokanis there , is that right?

Yep, I have two sun tubes over the tank

Following, what other lighting is over the tank?
I got 2 Radion running full blue to supplement the tank. Otherwise the yellow is just too overpowering.

I honestly don't know what's what atm. But it'll be interesting to see which colours up first.

How are you going to know how much colouring you can contribute to lighting and how much to correct water conditions?

My water condition generally are within great parameters. I had acros that were under just radion and didn't really have great colour or took awhile to colour up. I'll see if I can find up comparison photos of corals under just led and now under led (just blue) + sunlight
