Thank you. Mixing B+ with C+ as per your recommendation is really effective for coral growth.

FWIW, I have found that my setosa frag did not grow much until it started to receive a minimum of 250 mmol/m2/sec PAR.

The colony currently receives between 240-345 mmol/m2/sec PAR under 7.5 month-old ATI tubes (5 X B+ and 3 X C+).
