Motivated or what--The rebuild of the 300

**charlie** · 12-03-2009, 06:28 PM

I hope you got a six pack, and a sense of humor.

**Steve McKay** · 12-03-2009, 06:29 PM

I'll make more coffee with my hand and kick back for some reading.

**Steve McKay** · 12-03-2009, 06:32 PM

The purple sure does look good!

**charlie** · 12-03-2009, 06:32 PM

There ya go, if you redo your preferences in your user cp, I think there is only 30 pages. Do you take creamer?

**charlie** · 12-03-2009, 06:39 PM

The Birdsnest is that pink or do the lights make it look purple.

**Steve McKay** · 12-03-2009, 06:40 PM

ok didn't know what you meant.

**Steve McKay** · 12-03-2009, 06:46 PM

Most of the birdsnest I've seen are of pink or brown variation.Any suggestions on a light meter,par meter.

Pink with purple polyps Steve. If you get to some of the later full tank shots, or thirds, you will see what I mean. It is a very pretty coral.

**Steve McKay** · 12-03-2009, 06:49 PM

It is.

I use either 14K or 20K 400w halides. Never tested with a light meter, but if you look at the sticky up on top of the lighting forum, you can get to Sanjay Joshi's testing site. I don't have much PAR, but I ain't lookin for out of this world growth, otherwise I would be fragging every month.

**Steve McKay** · 12-03-2009, 06:55 PM

I believe I read that,I meant where and what light meter could I get to test what lighting I have or do I need it.I don't think you would suggest anything I can't grow.

**charlie** · 12-03-2009, 07:01 PM

No Steve, I wouldn't. The only thing would be that you would have to experiment with the placement of them. And I can probably guarantee you another thing, the colors may not be the same in your tank. I have a friend of mine that has a 500 gallon, and we have the same stag, the body on his is cream colored and the body on mine is green. It all runs down to lighting. I really don't think flow has all that much to do with color.

**Steve McKay** · 12-03-2009, 07:05 PM

I have read that lighting plays a big role in color,and water flow to the shape of a coral.

**charlie** · 12-03-2009, 07:11 PM

True probably on both accounts. Did you ever read that 5 part article on flow by Jake Adams in this sticky:
