ProCoral's Rainbow Acro

[JasonKlink]

I was looking for suggestions on my ProCoral's Rainbow Acro. It's encrusting well, but it's coloring hasn't been too great. It's a light orange color with a bright green growth band. I haven't seen any of the reds or blues that it's known for. I have it under a 400W 20K Radium about ½ down in the tank. It's also getting light from a VHO as well. It's getting approximately 300 PAR. I was looking at some other vendor sites and it said that it actually likes low to med light. Let me know your experience with this acro.

My ProCoral Rainbow took a little while before it took off. I changed the placement a few different times before settling on midway down my tank. I run 8 t5 bulbs in my ATI fixture. It doesn't get great flow in its current spot, so I'm thinking that has caused my branches to be pretty thin, but color is great as far as red and orange. I have only seen a small green rim around base, never blue.
Here is my growth, just over a year.

That's what mine looks like. I have mine on my sand bed in a 75G w/ 6x54ATI Sunpower lighting. Blue is slightly visible under actinics for me.

The blue growth edge seems to be environmental in my tank. When I first moved everything into new system the edge was prominent but now after almost 2yrs i have great color and growth but it no longer has the blue edge
