A very Disappointing colour change

Just thought id share.

A few months ago i purchased a fungia because it was two toned. greena nd purple. I loved it.



Today - it just green and only its mouth remains purple



Just thought id share my woes, and that not every coral will colour up better then you expect

 

It's all about lighting man! What do you have it under

 

Is that 2 different types of algae growing on the sand? I think your CUC is slacking

As dingo said, it's all about the lightiing!

 

x4 T5

x3 ATI aquablue special
x1 ATI blue plus

Your right! I need to restock on my CUC!

 

its still a very cool coral! and those mushrooms are amazing!

 

Yep, its about lighting and I have also seen things change from one tank to the next even though they were under identical lighting. The chemical make-up of every tank is different due to the many variables in this hobby.

Although.....I still say that is a very nice looking fungia!

 

Definitely a nice fungia. Awesome shrooms!! I wish mine would reproduce like that!

 

Cheers guys! The shrooms! well they all started off as single freebies! I have loads of them now all over the show!!

but back to the fungia! if lighting is everything and we all know blue = colour im about to purchase this to supplment my T5's!

Aquawave Aquarium Led Lighting replace fluorescent lights in all types of aquarium . Brilliance Ocean Blue Led Lights supplement Marine white to boost the Kelvin rating in Reef aquariums. Available in many sizes they create stunning glitter lines.Sui

Im just going to buy the one blue, to give me the shimmer effect and hopefully help colour up the corals!!

Thread to follow when i receive it!!

 

Looking forward to seeing it....I am really interested in the LED technology, but I have not seen anyone that has been able to have consistent growth with them yet. I have a couple of local guys that are testing some DIY LED's, but nothing yet.

 

ill follow this also. very nteresing
