I find it misleading that they use the word Lemon Plate, post a picture of a yellow plate and send an orange plate

It’s a nice piece but I would be irked
I guess names aren’t something I really even care or look at. To me the colors pretty dang close and that’s what I care about

The lorax is another league with its brightness being exotic. The ren and stimpys nice but its a blue and red tenuis. I personally prefer the colorfish and super nova over the ren.

I guess you need to see Lorax in person to understand because to me it looks like green slimer me growth color

I retract my comment. That is very close! Maybe it was the thumbnail being compressed. Nice plate!

Could be my photo. I mean real life. The photos were incredibly accurate to what I got.

The shroom is kinda shaded so I can see why the reds don’t pop but out in the open I know the par is too high. Maybe I’ll nudge it forward over time

You have it on your sandbed.... bright coral need bright light, its fluorescence....

My slimer in 400 par is bright, but it doesn't hold a candle to green flash or the lorax but we'll see as it develops.

On another note, i am having some serious shading concerns, i cant believe i thought i was out of room 50 corals ago... cranked up all my lights by 2% and the left side by another 2%. Also made some changes and frags down low.

Brightest I've seen is still the green crack. Big bird, papaya punch, green giant, papa smurf are all bright. The green flash isn't as bright as any of those but it makes up for it in other colors for sure.
My flash is brighter than my giant. The flash has more fluorescence in its green rather. The giant looks closer to slimer, but it was in my frag tank since i got it. Its dead middle in my DT getting roasted so we shall see.

My comparison for a few of them. Don’t forget Apple Jack. All under 350 PAR. As you said, Papaya is losing its green for other colors. Couldn’t get a picture of the Green Crack with the lid on.

My Apple Jacks was all green under Halides. Since switching to the Orpheks 3 weeks ago, it’s now added on some purple

Interesting that since I rehomed the hippo tang, I’m getting better polyp extension on just about everything. Guessing she was liking more than just the Zoa’s. The entire tank seems happier. Fish are all out swimming around calmly and corals all look happier. She must have been a true sea witch and was messing with everything.

I'm an idiot and I have nobody to blame but myself.

I did an infrequent water change today. I have a small tank, 100L, so I just siphon 5g out, pump 5g in. I started siphoning and suddenly started seeing something coming out of the hose. It turns out it was polyps of my SBB bright AF HG. I'd caught it with the hose.

It is starting to inflate again. I'll prophylactically KFC dip every other day for the next week.

That's what I get for doing a water change.

Hmm time to get some shots over the ocean

IMG_8983.jpeg
Sweet!!! Looks like you're going to have some fun!

One of my first big hobbies, RC planes, helis, and build your own drones. That was before all these babies made it difficult to hold a controller to fly. But it was a blast!! 100mph+ white knuckles, 2m gliders lazily drifting through the sky, or some of the fun dogfights.

One day I would like to take my kids out and get them involved in the hobby.
