I received a Pink Non Indo Lord frag of 3 polyps a few weeks ago. It still looks very nice. The 3rd "baby polyp" has grown a little and is coloring up a bit. My question is on the placement. I have a 58G with an Aqualight Pro light consisting of a 150W Radium 20K and 2 x 65W actinics. Currently and since I received the frag it is on the bottom about 23 inches away from the light but out in the open below the light. It has turned a little more red since I received it. Should I move it up , down, or leave it?

Thanks!

Almost every single lord or micro I've gotten has changed colors. Whether it has to do with lighting or water. I think lighting more then anything. If its your water I would think the polpys wouldn't open up. Anyway I'd move it in the middle. With 150w 20k and nearly 2ft under isn't much.

Post a pic, I'd like to see what it looks like.

All my lords & micros are about 18" under the exact same light, and doing amazingly well.

Not really, but with a twist. Nearly all the lords & micros I have are non-Indo, and the color is the same as the pics from the people I got them from. The few Indo ones I have shifted color to much darker shades since under the halides.

Peace,

Chip

The non indo lord in my avatar lost the green center over the summer. It is now a red center. Some say high temp in water, some say lighting. The orignal owner had them under 250 watt hqi. The temp has been much cooler recently and i noticed some green accents starting to come back in the center. So hopefully its a temp issue. Of all my lords this is the most drastic color change i noticed. Other than that they either get a little lighter/darker....

Hey Marillion,

I like the Lord that's the 3rd one down. Is it non Indo? if so where is it from? thanks
