Are you supplementing? I just picked up a frag of this and am running it under 400w 14k ushios. I want mine to grow up and be just like yours! =)

Nope, no supplemental actinics. I keep it down or in the middle.

Cambar, lighting is most likely NOT the reason for browning out. Browning is usually a sign of PO4 and too much nutrients. Check your perams and let us know.

Nice pictures. I just got an Oregon blue tort last night. I have a 30 inch tall 150 with 2 400 watt MH. Where is the best placement for color/growth, and how much flow do they like?

 

[fishfanatic06]

Mine likes it really high up with lots of flow

Here is mine...Its ORA I bought a frag abou a year ago. I use XM 10Ks so the color doesn't look as deep in the picture.

 

[salt-rookie]

Maybe you can see it better here...

I'm amazed how you guys can get that much growth after a few months. I must be doing something wrong.

 

[salt-rookie]

I took a better picture. Its ORA Blue Tort.

 

[DaddyJax]

Wow Mako! That is some crazy growth!! Torts are usually slow growers IME but Mako has a good stock and great color!!

 

[slojmn]

Really nice shots everyone.
DaddyJax, as usual, incredible colors for us to all drool over .
Mako...awesome growth on that tort and the color is just gorgeous.

 

[makoJ]
