Maze not doing so well

[brad23]

I got a MAze brain last week and he was more colorful then than he is now.

I have him on the sand bed in a 75g under 260 watts of PC.

PH 8.2
80F
no Nitrates or Phosphates
cal - 430
DKH 9

260 watts isnt much as far as pcs is it?

i have 130 watts in my 20 gallon

PCS?

It's enough for all the other LPS I have so I would be enough for a lower light Brain.

Well here are some pics when I got it and pics from today.

A week later

I keep mine on the sand in my 75 under 250 MH's and 440 wts of actinic VHO.

That's a lot of light.

I keep mine under a 400MH in a 29G he loves it

It's not unusual for corals to shift colors some when changing from one tank to another. As long as it isn't receeding in any way it looks to be doing just fine.

From my experience though, PCs is my least favorite type of lighting for "Showing Off' corals. If you can find a way to put a VHO actinic or two under the hood the green would likely have a better flouresce to it and coral would overall aethetically look better. But yours doesn't look to be doing bad in any way.
