Garf Bonsai Placement.

[footballcs12]

Finally after years of wanting one, I got a frag of a garf bonsai today! Just wondering where to put this glorious green and purple stick. I figured like most SPS they like good light and a good amount of indirect flow, but now that I'm looking around, I'm seeing quite a few old threads (3-5+ years old) about where people have them and where they look the best. Anyone have any "modern" feedback on these things?

I have mine about 15" away from my radion pro lights. It's also close to a mp40. It looks great. Here's my radion light graph.

Mine is in high light and high flow. Doing good so far

I'll be interested in this info too, all my SPS grow like weeds But this one. Very brown and dull no matter where i place it.

The problem is I only have a cell phone to snap a picture of it. It's got a nice purple color and lots of polyps (probably my favorite SPS)

One of the nice classic pieces that actually does well under LEDs. Low to mid will give you the deep purple all over and nice green polyps. Obviously nutrients will also play a factor. Under high light, I noticed purple is mostly at the tips with brown/greenish florescent body.
