Those are incredible specimens there man http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...prised-004.gif

and I think you were being modest about your growth.....I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I don't get that much with dosing. How ever I've changed a few things over the last few months and do believe I'm experiencing a growth spurt.

Sorry, I know I've asked you before (I'm thinking of changing mine) but what bulbs are you running again?

the birdsnest, superman and millipora went in the tank probably too soon but a month or two after the tank re-start.....the strawberry shortcake was added about 14 monthes ago.....

thanks Chris!
I suppose it's all relative.....when I was dosing the sps grew like weeds.....the growth has been noticeably slowed to me....Im not sure there is a wrong or right....I really think that if you are just slow about adding your fish, you have good live rock(Im really not a fan of dry rock) and things are relatively stable, that goes a long way....

my bulb mix is a 50/50 split of KZ "new gens" and KZ "super blues"....2x 3' teks with 6 bulbs each for a total of 12 bulbs

Love the time lapse photos! When was V2 started? I looked at page 1 and that was V1 build I think.

Your strawberry is gorgeous doug good job with that! Mine doesn't even look like the same coral if I look at the actual shape/structure of it. It's also always been a very pale pink. I'm thinking of finally snapping a chunk off to see what happens. Yours makes me drool every time I see it.

I will accept your kudos for a job well done.....even though all I did really was glue it down and do water changes.....but ya, thanks!:biggrin:..... well I showed yous mine, why dont you show us yours?.....I find it neat how the same coral can look different in different tanks....even things like growth patterns and branch thickness can be slightly different.....makes identifying really fun:mrgreen:

heres a couple more growth sequences
