    LOL, I have considered this Hunter. A tank with only RP at different tabling levels.

    The solution is stronger lighting. :) Place corals lower in the tank. Soon.;D

    Thank you John.:)

    Cheryl, I'm impressed with the growth. I'll take a pic of mine in a bit so we can compare.

    I got a red planet frag like two weeks ago, I thought it looked okay, but after seeing this im not so sure. LOL Hopefully it will color up soon, its pretty bland right now.

    Congrats.

    Give it time and just do not put it too high initially, it will come around. Lower light greener base, intense lighting, light base and pink tips.

    You can bleach then pretty badly is they are up too high initially.

    Thanks for the advice, I've got it about 20 inches from the light ( 2 AI SOLs @ 40% power) Im seeing the greener base at this time but the tips seem kind of light. It looked a bit bleached when I got it.

    Its under 40 degree optics at the moment and after talking to you about it a bit I think I will move it over a touch so its under 70 degree optics.

    The coral/acropora in the upper most portion is the Christmas not the RP.

    Hey Cheryl Love the Red Planet, it seems like it was just yesterday you got recieved it on a Plug and it was Growing awkward and now you have what it looks like, what ORA has in their Facility of their Red Planet.

    One quick Question, on the underside of the RP does it have any P/E or is it just Brownish or white?
