    If you go to the first post of the thread there is a picture of the frag. It has been about 4 months give or take a week.

    No doubt I will be there, looking forward to it.

    :)

    So the first post is of when you first got it? Confused as to which is the before and which is the after.

    Yes the first post shows the first three months of growth in sucession. I take a few shots every friday. There are so many variables that go into coral growth and coloration that I try to keep track of what variables I have changed and which ones have remaind consistant.

    You could have growth inhibition from the softie next to the RP. Do you run carbon?
