Hi Mate - It orginally started its life at the bottom of the tank as a frag but was moved up the rockwork as it slowly grew larger, eventually staying at the top of the tank.
The height of the tank was 26 inches and was never placed directly under the 250w halibe, it always faired better just outta the light.

In my new system under 400w i think its struggling a bit and isnt coping well with the instense light
But also i have feeling my po4 is way too low at this present time, So its looking alot bluer than its supposed to look. (Thats a frag i have of it not the pictured colony here)

Flow, Hardly any tbh and was never in direct flow at any one point when i owed it, Although the total flow of the tank was around 40x per hour.

That's interesting stuff to say that it doesn't like low PO4 as well, I always strive to maintain 0 PO4 for colouration on my SPS - not that I have many.

But the info is useful for me ta, I have a monti which isn't too happy so I'll get it out of direct light and into a lower flow area. Thanks!
