I've lost several acros, especially when I started out. However, all is good within the last 6-8 months. ------------- If you can't bedazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bs! Dinhkim Le - Procrastinator extra-ordinare |

Wow! What type of lighting do you have? That is some amazing growth! It's a good idea to keep pictures so that you can see how much they've changed over time! ------------- 75gal reef /sump/ref 150MH 2 96w CF Perhaps I would be better at basket weaving. . . at least it would be cheaper! |

Thanks guys (and gals )! Troyholl, Welcome to the club! We have many experienced and generous aquarists here that will help you out. I highly recommend browsing this board frequently and going see members' tanks to learn and make informed decisions regarding your tank, fish, and corals. Kgwilliams, I have 3 250w double-ended HQI metal halides (14K phoenix bulbs and Icecap electronic ballasts) and two 80w T5 actinics over my 210g tank (6'longx2'deepx30''tall). I take pics regularly just to be able to do these growth sequences. It amazes me everytime I look back and see how much the corals grow. Jason, the first acro is from you. It grows like a weed in my tank (not that I am complaining). ------------- If you can't bedazzle them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bs! Dinhkim Le - Procrastinator extra-ordinare |
