hello everyone!
i bought a new green monticap to compliment my red cap and right now the green on is brown with a green tint. i have seen them a true green and asked the lfs and they agreed it would color up.
now whats the deal with this? is this true? is there anyone on here who has seen them turn brown to a true green?
thanks for all the info!

With the right light and good water conditions it should color up. Witch one do u have. The purple rim green monti? If so, I have that one and it's super green with a pretty purple rim.

i dont think its the purple rim =(
im a college student so it was 65 or 35.. 35 for a smaller piece..
i have a TEK t-5 (8 bulb over a 90g )with individual reflectors. all 10k Bulbs and the blues are 760? Nm rating? i cant remember the nm rating. i have seen my gsp go from dull green to neon yellow/green in 2 years so i hope this will do the same

How many are 10k? How many are Blue?
Please give a description of tank:
Circulation, skimmer, fuge, method of maintaining calcium/alk.
test water for alk, nitrates, phosphates and ph. You also purchased this frag from the LFS? I always test water quality of whoever I purchase from. Knowing there levels will help you acclimate the new coral to your tank.

to maintain alk/ca. i use a 2 part system. B-ionic and do a regular dosage.
