So then, based on this, when the R. indica gets closer to the lights it gets 
greener?

Good question Scott, and an interesting example.  :)  Technically, yes, it 
should mean that the closer toward the light the greener, or at least less 
red, it would get.  In outdoor emersed culture I've seen that to be the 
case.  However, under submerged conditions from moderate up to very high 
light I've only ever seen it get red/pink/orange provided it's given proper 
nutrition.  When I tried growing in submerged using only Seachem products I 
wasn't able to maintain the nice red colors, it went totally green on me.


Best,
Phil
