Yellow Mamba Dark Phoenix Placement

These 2 are growing slow for me. I have them on the sandbed with about 125-150 PAR under LEDs with moderate flow which is just enough to make the skirt dance a bit. My range for flow is <none,light,moderate,medium,heavy,direct>. They are open and healthy but the coloration is somewhat subdued. I'm considering moving them up higher for my light/flow.

Just checking with the masses first.

All my people eaters like low light and being fed.

maybe the 150 PAR is too much, perhaps i will try less light before more.. What are you feeding??

I dose 7ml Fuel daily.. occassionaly spot them... I will see how they respond to ELOS SVC and cyclopeeze.

Anything brine shrimp sized and down. Are they larger frags? If the polyps growing out the sides are more colorful than what's in the center, it could be a par issue. Also, for me, they seem to like nutrient levels a little higher than the average softie......ymmv.

Try moving them a few inches out away from the rocks closer to the glass and see if they perk up. 150 par is more than my z's and p's care for. Usually they begin loosing fading color if over 100ish par .
Also the low nutrient lvl's seems to affect them as well , its the price we pay to grow the harder to keep acro's successfully my gold mauls just receded to a nub and never opened back up , they just shrunk till nothing was left , also my mind blowing Paly's and emeralds on fire , 3 plugs in different locations .
