Thanks Rob, Mike, and Joe. I'm trying my best to keep it steady despite 16hr work days and a new baby on the way. Hope I can keep it growing just the way it is :)

Thanks Kenny and Duro. I appreciate it.

Thanks Sam. I am back to halide now :). With T5 my growth did increase overall and I did end up dosing more to keep up with calcification demands. Keep in mind I had 10 T5 over my tank. IMO complete T5 coverage give the best growth of any lighting, but NOTHING compares to halide color.... NOTHING!!!!

Looks good rich ,like mike said love what u did with the acans ....i cant keep them for some reason

Thanks Charlie. That growth kind of happened by accident. They were originally 1 and 2 polyp frags that grew into a tight cluster. I'm not sure why you can't keep them. I don't think it' your lighting, flow, or water quality. Do you think one of the fish is chowing down?

Leave it in the sump with lighting, if it does well, it's your fish. If not it's your water and you :)

Thanks Mike. Po4 was high over the summer and early fall so I started running it again. Definitely don't need po4 reduction right now. Nitrates running 25ppm at the moment :thrash::thrash::thrash::thrash::thrash:
