DBTC: Sprung's Burning Bush

[wayne]

Mine didn't grow at all in red. That makes sense in that they color of a plant is based on light reflecting off it. Green plants don't really use green light. Red plants don't really use red light.

I switched to a coral color light and it started growing.

Thats what I thought too but wasn't sure. Thanks!

Most “red” fuge and grow lights are a mixture of red and violet, some blues or uv sprinkled in. It might grow, but not well

Hey @Ctovarg, I just noticed your frag is missing a picture. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that I'd love to see what it looks like now.

It's really easy to add a picture.

I gave a frag to @Michael Hans today.

Glad to see it’s growing more than it’s being eaten lol

The reason it's not being eaten. If not for that I wouldn't have any left

I still have this actively growing, takes up half of my large refugium and is outcompeting chaeto down there. I certainly have it available to share if anyone is interested.

I’ve also started feeding it to my fish on a nori clip and my tangs especially like grazing on it. Seems like a great way to recycle nutrients in the tank while keeping them well fed. I can’t tell if their poop is more sparkly than usual though.
