RAV-65 Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 When I bought this stylo, it was the last piece and was in the tub for 2-3 months. It was totally brown and overwhelmed by algae. Bro, Did it have polyp extension den? I always wondered if those super-brown but no polyp extension SPS could be saved... ?? Quote People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...

SRC Member scarab Posted February 15, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted February 15, 2005 its quite interesting that i have brownies that dont change colors at all. instead their growth tips show their true colors.... When SPS grows, the tips will usually show it's true, original colours. Whether or not the browned out body return to the original colours, is not a sure thing.

teohb Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Interesting that u guys brought up the light thing 14k & 10k.. weileong, u mention that u swop to blv10k from phoenix 14k and u experience colored purple body on the sps.. presently, i using 250w 14k,,however i noticed that for Blue or Purple body is particularly hard to maintain though the tips show the original color as mentioned by scarab..maybe coz i into infancy stage of zeovit (8wks) so cannot see the coloring effect...weileong could u enlighten me on this? However for green body...i noticed that it has absolutely no problem retaining its original radiant color..too bad i aint got a dc..else i can show the contrast between the two coloured sps...i got a immensely radiant sparkling green colored sps.. maybe i should switch to 10k then i get wat i want...blue or purple colored body and tips... Could anyone help to explain this observation? thks in advance.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weileong Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Here's my observation with phoenix 14kk. Not an expert in SPS so can only give my observation after using it for 6months+ Growth is very very slow and with new growth I do not see a colored tips especially for blue and purple colony. After I switched to BLV10kk, I could tell the growth are explosive from observing the corals as well as the load on the CR. Now running drip of abt 5-6 drops/sec for effluent yet the CR could not keep up and kH dropping by 0.2 daily. Like you said no problem to maintain the green colors. Actually green is so easy under BLV10kk too. Another observation when using the phoenix 14kk. I tried the digitata from Iwarna 2 times and on both occassion both could not make it. Same goes for my monti caps too. Now under BLV10kk, my digitata is growing like mad. Same goes to my monti cap too. I have a 1cm frag that has doubled in size in abt 2 weeks time. All SPS showing new growth tips with original colors and the main body also slowly lightening up. Things are looking good again. BTW I am 23 weeks into zeovit and just done my 5th change of zeolites yesterday.
