Puffer Chick's 46 Gallon Bowfront Reef

difference is obvious!!!
also, about your birdsnest... is it pink or brown?

 

yea HUGE i just wish my camera didnt make it look so blue.

And the birdsnest is neither its an orange/yellow mix, i would prefer a pink

 

what color was it when you got it

 

orange, same color with blue polyps

 

so i just googled orange birdsnest apparently once site calls it a pink birdsnest, but theirs nothing pink about it.

this one looks exactly like mine

 

so do you think you can turn it pink or is it going to be orange forever?... ive seen a green one with purple polyps and a pink one with brown polyps but idt ever orange

 

no idea but that would be pretty sweet

 

yeah im a little hesitant to say this but i think yours might be a browned out pink one... so next question: what bulbs do you run in your fixture?

 

2 ATI blue plus, 1 aquablue special and i cant read the other one cause the lights are on right now and its not facing to where i can read it but i think its a UVL or something like that once the daylights go off ill wait for it to cool and turn the bulb around so i can see

i wasnt sure what i wanted so i just got what reefgeek suggested

when i got it at the lfs it was in their large display tank under metal hallides about half way up

 

well I dont wanna get technical so ill keep it simple... the pink chromoprotein is excited by a combination of red and yellow wavelengths. when you replace the bulbs next time, change one to a Fiji purple!!! my ORA pink montipora is amazing under them

I cant say for 100% but i think that after a few weeks of the red and yellow added your birdsnest will get pink
