    Hi guys

    some interesting pics today:
    The three pictures show the development of my green Seriatopora. The first from August/September, second from October/November and third from now, January.
    As you can see growth was ok, but in October it bleached almost completely. Because of that, I started dosing iron in december. Iron is often seen as a requirement for rich green colors, even though you have to be careful as it is a strong fertilizer for algeas as well ;D
    Unfortunately, I can't say for sure, if it was the iron which made the color come back or the new light, but anyway, it's good to see that its getting a healthier color again :)

    Are you liking the new light? I also am having color issues (for the better) due to my new Radion. I started dosing Amino Acid supplements the same day as the new light, so I don't know which is the cause of the better, vibrant coloring. Could be a combination I presume. I love the light...getting at least 1 more for my new DT in March.

    I definitely like the new light. Just alone the ability to change the color and intensity and therefore the appearance of the tank during the day is awesome!
    The tank does look a bit dimmer than before, but everytime I think that, I have to remind myself, that the lihts are just running at 70% maximum (since yesterday, before that 65% or even 60%) for light acclimation.
    I'm still curious to see, how the Radion will perform long-term.

    Wow you have a nice tank, I like the Berlin method, plus some carbon.:)
    Do you use refugiums in Europe?

    Some do, some don't. I'd like to have one but I just have space for the skimmer and return pump in my sump.
