Doch's frag before and after

[RedCoralEdmonton]

Our SPS tanks have been thriving lately, and Doch gave us a frag to test out show how healthy frags can look totally different in different systems!

Enjoy

Cool, what are you adding into the tank that doch isn't, or is it just a bit higher nutrient levels, or a difference in lighting to get the change from light to dark purple?

[RedCoralEdmonton]

well im sure Doch will chime in here right away with his setup, but this frag has been under an 8 bulb tek light here at the store, running Seachem salinity salt and nothing but a profilux running a doser keeping the calcium, and alk steady....

Thx Steve, what is the lowest K bulb you have in the tek light & do you know what the No3 is at?

Hey Sean, my NO3 is pretty much non existant.... the bulbs are - 4 Geisemann actinic+ (22,000k), 2 Geisemann Aquapink, and 2 Geisemann Aquablue+ (15,000k)

hey Steve, i've been running 2 FP 3 SB & 1 10k all KZ bulbs & have been suspicious of the 10k ever since I put it in, as the reason for lighter purples, as I've been trying pretty much everything to get them darker with the exception of that bulb. I'm a bit lo on K but its at about 350mg/pl & going up, there have been some improvements with color on the growth tips & slight;y in the main branches, but I deffnately think I'll change the bulb out for something higher k. It'll be interesting to hear what the Dochs lights r.....
