Frogspawn Color

bsmith00 · 08/18/2007, 10:43 AM

I just wanted to know about frogspawn. I have a piece with two heads and it looks great, it has bloomed and flows nicely, but during the day it looks more brown and you cant really see the green until i turn off the lights and only let the LED blues on.. any recomendation?
I have a bio cube 29gallon with stock bulbs,
ph-8.3, temp-76/77, nitrate-0, nitrite-0

That's correct. The green part is the only fluorescent part and is best viewed under straight actiinics or LEDS.

Acan's do that too. I have a piece with green and orange colored polyps that look dull with all my lights on but look fantastic with the moonlights or just actinics.

If you can fit another actinic bulb in your setup somehow that will help with the color a bunch. I have 4 55W actinics on my tank and my frogspawn looks very green.
