Best Placement for Red Planet

[AMIFL]

I have a 120 with 400w, 20k Coralvues and lumenbright reflectors. The reflectors are about 12" from the water. I have a few pieces that I feel need to be relocated. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Do you want hints of green in your red planet?

Sorry, I forgot to say. Right now the red planet is bright green with a hint of red. I would like it to be more red with a green base.

The red planet gets some hints of green on its base if its somewhere around the mid to lower level of a tank (I'm not exactly sure of the case in a 120 w/ 400W MH). Otherwise higher up the tank, it will be a nice red/pink color.

In my tank the pearlberry is getting a lot of light and thats where I think it gets the best color.

Not so sure about the german blue polyp.

Red Planet low, Pearlberry high.

All three lots of light. With the red planet give it good flow as if it were a milli. I fiddled with my Red Planet for a year before I found a good high up spot. The pearly B, this will look different with different flow and amounts of like so it might take some rearranging before you find an ideal spot. German Blue shower with light but acclimate slowly, this one is easier to burn then most if done quickly.

IMO

Thanks guys. I too found this to be helpful as I just got a Red Planet frag about 3 weeks ago.

Oddly, it seems to be turning more red than green, and it's midway up a 10 gallon tank under T-5 bulbs. It's basing out nicely so far.

I have a Red Planet mid-level in my tank and it has a nice, strong green base with red/pink corallites and branches.

I also have a PearlBerry about 1/2" lower and it has a nice blue/green to it. You can click on my build to see pics of them. (top downs with side shots)

Mine are under 250w SE 20k Radiums driven by a Lumatek Ballast.

i keep mine med to high light and high flow, pearlberry loves it colored up nicely once i put it in one spot and left it alone one thing i have noticed is that once you leave it alone and keep the hands out they just love it ..

I have posted this somewhere else on here, but thought it might help.

In my tank, here is two different Pearlberry frags. One is up high, thicker branches and lighter color, and the other is mid tank, darker and thinner branches.
