It's is a darker purple in real life, but deffinantly like it sould be. It's way high up in the tank though...wich is one of the reasons I've been thinking of raising the lights up a couple of inches....maybe every make an arch out of the lights.

Thanks...

It's in a 30g display, standard size. I have a glass top and a 24" Tek T5 with 4 bulbs sitting right on the glass. I have (2) 11K AquaBlue Plus, (1) Actinic Plus and (1) Pure Actinic. Each Giesemann and 24W. The superman sits a little lower than midway down the tank and dead center. I'd give it about 10-11" from the light.

Here is my photo period:

8:30am - Pure Actinic & Actinic Plus come on
9:00am - 11Ks come on
10:00pm - 11Ks go off
10:30pm - Pure Actinic & Actinic Plus go off

I got it about three months ago and it was about the size of a nickel. It's probably tripled in size since then. Grows like a weed.

guessin u have the original superman to get that kind of color

I may very well have that. The person I got it from is very reputable and it wouldn't surprise me if it was. I have to check with him.
