Purple/blue gig updates

My guess is it will turn into a nice florescent/neon green. The color resembles the green in my 75, only Pete, yours looks a bit more of a glow to it, so I'm not sure either. Pete to me, yours looks like could turn more of a neon green. It's a real beauty!

Here's a pic of my 75 gallon (bleached) green gig when Pete first gave it to me last year.


Here's today, it's almost a neon green, which looks like what yours will be also Pete:


The last green that's in my 210 is a darker green, I don't see how it could get any lighter, seems like it's getting darker forest green. The longer I have the green in the 75, the more neon green it seems to be getting, opposite of the 210 green, as it seems to be getting darker. Both under same DIY LED, different water systems though, chemistry could play a part.


Night time color comparison, 75 green:


Night time 210 green:


I think they look different, but I've only had the 210 green since march in the 210 (medicated cipro from mid feb to end Feb, then moved to 210 mid march, so it's been under LED since mid feb in my care, but has been captive for 2 years?) It's kept it's color the whole time, just a lot of deflating until medicated. There could be more than one shade of green, or maybe they just turn into different shades, environment dependent?

I was looking back at some photo's, Pete, remember this guy? Man, I wish we knew back then what we've learned. We've burned through some gigs that were nice, that's for sure. This one glowed so yellow, I'm still wondering if someone dyed it, it was so yellow. It didn't make it, it was BC (before cipro).


Pete, post a close up of your green!

You guys got so many good Gigs. All I got are brown ones from Petco. I don't think my DD blue one going to make it. He was doing so well until I hav eto take him out of treatment early. :(
 
IMHO there is no yellow carpet, the yellowness color is from the lighting intensity. i have a green gig and under my XM 10,000k 250w MH it always look yellow, even very close to the color of my yellow tang and yellow banana wrasse. see pic attached and a video shoot.

i promise you mine is not yellow, its green. regardless what color, i love mine :0 and i love Prt13 gigs also.

nice green gig pinkskunk, I agree with you, I believe its green too under 400 watt MH hamilton, the three gigs are.
 
Well Dave, the green moved again right away from Duncan so all is Good now, thanks Minh but you also have quite a collection, just finish feeding them minced shrimp. The reaction was good, pics are after feeding.
