Hmmm that's good to know. Quite a while ago Christy and I got some bright yellow frags from a fellow reefer on here and mine have turned totally green. I do have other yellow frags that havnt turned and also some bright greens. I need to find someone with a iron test kit.

You have to also consider the source tank.... while your iron might be good, his/hers might be low so "yellow" frags may actually be green... If you know what I mean.

Growing macro usually cuts iron down.

FYI sorry I just realized this is a classified thread

I'll test my iron today. I do grow algea with a scrubber and a few mangrove.

Thanks for the info on iron
