It is a little crazy but I took these pictures 3 days apart and you can see that where it was fragged it has grown closer to the rock over the 3 days. I was surprised I could see a difference after 3 days; maybe I'm crazy, tell me if they look the same to you.

that is cool that is what I did with one of my frags from the wmas frag thing. I watched it and it was like I could see it every day get a little closer and then start to spread onto the rock. it was cool. I am guessing they are really good signs. ------------- Josh Zorn 45G reef lots of tropical plants Cell it 910 3924 |

I think it's the angle of the camera! They don't grow that much in 3 days ------------- Jeff 125 tank 50 gallon sump T-5 lighting Rum drinker, Carbon User I KNOW ROCKS THAT ARE YOUNGER THEN ME!! I AM A Realist! I write what I think!! |

| I'm with Jeff. Visible growth in three days would be awesome, but rare (even impossible??). |

Im not sure its impossible. If you consider the fact that some people's coral grows an inch in a month (not mine), then 3 days is about 1/10th of a month. Therefore if growth is continuous then you would be able to see 1/10th of an inch of growth in 3 days. That picture shows potentially less than 1/10th of an inch of growth. Another thing, I think that my coral sometimes grows in spurts. I look at my tank everyday and there are somedays when I notice a change in the coral. It looks bigger, or one branch looks longer. It is possible that I just haven't noticed, or that my eyes are deciving me, but it also seems possible that it grew enough to notice in a short period of time (a day or two). This is all just my opinion not based on any fact, but I still think noticable growth in 3 days is very possible. |

| I have heard reports of an inch a month, but I've always been skeptical. If you're getting that kind of growth, please share your secrets. Even the corals Walt showed in his videos had less growth than that. |

I don't believe believe Corals can grow an inch in 1 month! Maybe ugly ones but who would want them? ------------- Jeff 125 tank 50 gallon sump T-5 lighting Rum drinker, Carbon User I KNOW ROCKS THAT ARE YOUNGER THEN ME!! I AM A Realist! I write what I think!! |
