Powerman's coral growth thread. (pic intense)

Is that the marble madness aussie that thing is so cool I've been wanting to order one for a while.

 

great save on that frogspawn, awesome growth on them montis...

 

Thanks. Do you think my growth is on par? I just don't have the experience to know.

 

I don't think so since I'm not sure what you are talking about. Which one is it?

 

wow...truly impressive! You have a lot to be proud of! I will definitely be watching for more growth pics on here.

 

Are you feeding your corals anything? What type of lights do you have?

 

I have an upgraded Coralife fixture. 2x96w PC w/ dual actinics for 12 hours a day. 2x250w Phoenix 14Ks on for 7 hours a day. I'm a firm beliver in total darkness for rest. Moon light LEDs on for 3 hours before and after the actinics for 8 hours of total darkness.

I feed Rottie Feast and Oyster eggs by Reef Nutrition. One or the other, two teaspoons. Not real regular.... 2,3,4 times a week. I dose Warner Marine Snow, and WM Ultimate Aminos.... but can't really tell you about effectiveness. As far as the feeding and dosing, I try not to feed too much because it causes cyano. I do turn off my lights and skimmer when I feed and dose for 3 hours.

Other than than no mechanical filtration and 3 cubes a day for fish.

 

Here is a couple random shots.

I got these the First of December 09. This Green Milli came with a crab (a good one) and it is still there.

 

Now just in case you think all my stuff is doing great.... here ya go.



The Candy Cane I have had for nearly a year. The only thing it has done is divide two heads into 4.

The Blue Acro frag.... well the only thing it has done is not die. No polyps. No recession, no growth, no color. I got it probably 6 months ago.

Can't win them all.

 

Great growth pics, Powerman. I'm taking notes of this.
