Wonder what it is with the green color. Steve even though yours are sweet, it seems the green is also fading a bit. Or am i imagining it.

[The Beaut]

Reefmonger, Is the first one the Four Seasons Acan? if so i will be really interested to see how it does in your tank.

 

[SaraB]

Reefmonger - Where did you find the Acan in the first photo? It's very nice!!!!

 

[ReefMonger]

It is the 4 seasons. I will let you know. I have another on the way because one of my echinos destroyed it while I was on vacation. Did you get one and it change color on you?

I think I'm bleaching them actually.... I have them under 250w MH DE w/ 14k Phoenix bulb... my tank is only 18" deep...

 

[ReefMonger]

Beaut,

marv, you need some colored sticks in there to give them shade!!!

I have a tek t5, 6 bulbs 3 blue +, 1 super actinic, 2 aquablue. Just changed out my GE 6500 for an aquablue, too much hair algae from it. I have also cut back my photo period a couple of hours. I really hope the colors come back.
