Superman Monti!!

Hey guys I was wondering what you feed ur SM for fast growth and what lights have worked best. Thanks

Nothing

150 MH's on the bottom of a 90.

Feed all the corals H2O coral food. Fish like it too.

I have one that colored up realed nice mid-top under t5 lighting eating reef nutrition phytofeast and anything else it could absorb.

Under 6 ATI T5s in my 90, I find the color best midlevel or lower in the tank, or in partial shade. I think this one prefers lower light than some of the other montis out there. I feed Reef Chili 2x a week, which seems to work pretty well.

Great thanks for all the advice

I was a fan of my superman when it was a frag. I found that as it grows out, the only blue/red regions are on the "growth edges", and the rest has turned a reddish brown. This stuff has spread so that huge regions of my rock is plated in the stuff. It does grow fairly quickly. Most of my superman "areas" are in moderate light locations. This may have something to do w/ it's browning. I am looking to plate over the superman w/ a nicer looking monti that holds it's color better. I have a small patch of appleBerry that is spreading. I am also looking at purple haze as well. BTW, my tank is a 180 SPS only tank and most everything else looks great color wise. This is my most "dull" looking coral in my tank.

I hope you have better luck w/ your superman than I had.
