Default Growth sequence pics(as requested)
Was asked to post some growth sequence shots of a birdsnest frag that I added about six months ago. The birdsnest was under 2- 2x24w HOT5 hagen "Glo" units (so a total of 96w), in a 20g tank for the majority of the time.

Yes, very impressive. I thought that birdsnest was one of the more light intense sps?

how far from the light bulbs was it, and what was it under the rest of the time, and what were the time periods?

Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement everybody.

Poontang... On the contrary , it is one of the more forgiving sps corals as far as lighting goes.

Greg...That MUST be it, we all know what the quality and condition of your stuff is like . And if you dont...you should

Stircrazy...The lights were about 4" off the water and the coral was about 4" to 5" under the water. I tranferred it into its new home about a month and a half ago, where it was about smack dab in the middle of my frankenstien lighting. I am using the lighting from my two previous 2' tanks on a 4' tank now(4x24w HOT5s 2- 18000k and 2 actinic on one end,and 150w 10000k with 2x24w HOT5 actinics on the other end.
