Bwahahahah, that cracked me up! Quietly though, kid is sleeping.

No seriously, your tank does look great. I'll see if I still quit the hobby by the time I get home from work this afternoon. (I really should though...)

Yeah where have I heard that before :razz:

One thing tho, the growth from that 3/4" frag to a mini colony is frigging brutal, it takes like 6 months to a year but after that its amazing the growth changes. Its like it takes it awhile to settle in and realize that it can grow and then boom, it goes from mini colony to something of a decent size. I should show you the 30K lokani I've had for over a year. Its gone from 3/4" to 1" with two nubbin branches. If all my frags were like that yeah, I would have quit too :razz:

nubbins phase is just brutal. I have a few pieces that have been comfy there for more than 6 months. I also have a bad habit of mounting coral too high too soon so in my tank I need to account for idiotRecovery phase which precedes nubbins phase.

that's some friendly montipora you got there. stuff looks great =)

Looking really good Christy.

Chris

That one looks like ORA Hawkins Echinata....which is actually not an echinata but most likely a.turaki. One of my fav's.

Very nice Christy.....!
