    The further you keep Red Planet from the light, the more green it will display on the body.

    Unfortunately, I can't get either to come forth. There was a breif moment several weeks back where I saw a green hue with a pink tip or two coming through, but it faded away.

    What are your phosphate nitrate levels? Acro's will brown first, even if other SPS are still fine, if there's an issue in that department.

    phosphates came in at 0.015 on the ULR Hannah checker last night (5 ppb phosphorus), so it's fine. My nitrates are always undetectable. My other acros are showing greens and purples nicely. My two frags of RP has really just never colored up like my other acros.

    With the new branches going vertical, do you think it will branch upwards a ways, or begin to bend horizontally and table?
