sps under pc lighting

[mvm]

I moved the few corals that I wanted to keep to my NC28. It has 105 W of PC lighting. I plan to house them in there until I get the new tank set up. Probably a month or so. I'm sure they'll lose some color, but if they totally brown out, can they come back under the right conditions? I guess I could put my 250W halide over the NC, but then I'd have to hook up the chiller as well. Thoughts?

I had a blue millie (from acroholic) under PCs for about 3 months before putting them under T5s. Now its got a greenish color to it lol

However it was in the highest point I could get with that tank now I am keeping them close to the surface as well now.

I have some "Confusa" Green spongodes under PC, they have been under for around 4 months, doing fine and growing.

What color was your blue millie under the PC lighting?

slight brownish with a hint of red. of course when i got it, it had that color.

Here it is just when i first placed it under PC lighting; October '08...

knowing that milli are hard to color back up is one of the reasons my interest for switching to MH
