    I finally after waiting for a few months went and picked up some Duncans. This was the last coral I wanted so now based on the limitations with pc bulbs I am not planning on adding anything else except cuc members as needed. Now all I have to do is keep it all alive. It has taken 1 year and 9 months. I have gone through numerous corals and fish until now. My corals are not as big as many others may have but I bought and traded for the smallest frags I could find. I wanted watch everything grow over time.
    A great big thanks to all those that answered my questions, and offered opinions. Is it possible to give whole site K++++? You all deserve it.

    Now I am not saying there may be something along the way I cant live without.;D

    Nice piece, before my lfs closed he had one piece with 12 heads, so i had to buy as a good deal and sweet piece, now each one has 2-3 growing below each of the 12 and it's been 7-8 weeks. the attached pic is from a month ago.

    I feed my duncans coral freenzy once or twice a week, use food with cyclops to feed fish and feed krill about 1-2 times a week. I started with 2 polyps a year ago and now just fragged it to 2 pieces with over 15 polyps each piece (so about 28 polyps a year!)

    Thanks for the feeding tips. I hope I can get mine to grow at some of the rates you all posted.

    Mine really took off when I started target feeding. I just squirt some mysis or what ever I have thawed at the time into each head.
