Are yours under LED or other? I gave a frag to a friend with halides and it reacted better up high... Mine lost the green base up high and turned more white/pink.

Mine is under my DIY LED fixture. The other two people also have LED, one uses D120s and the other uses a Sunbrite.

There are so many different variables with our systems. It sounds like you found the solution to keeping yours happy and that's all that matters. I've had the same Red Planet in my tank for a long time now and it wont grow or color up like when I first got it. No clue what changed, but it did.

Well your tank is looking beautiful...looking forward to more pictures.

I'm starting to think I need a macro lense and tripod. Maybe one of those under water bags for top down?

New additions: The blue one is pretty epic.

I can't take credit, this thing is a recent addition and the color is already swaying. It was orange tipped with green base, now it's going more pink at the tips and taking over more of the green. I guess we will see in a few months what it'll do.

The blue one behind it is unreal. I've never seen a brighter blue than this. I hope it's a good grower. I borderline wanted to name it.
