I'll second Doug's comments on that, mine just doesn't want to color up. I'm hoping for more out of mine, time will tell.

Mine's already branching... you guys need more nutrients lol =)

Of course the frags are ALL branching because they know I'm sorta screwed for space on my racks. Go figure...

To be fair, mine is a recent frag, and so far is still in good shape. Just not the color I'd like it to be.

As for nutrients, I feed my fish a lot, so I'm sure I've got lots of "nutrients"

Lol I'm just joking.

It's Murphy's Law coral edition. I have no space so they wanna grow. If they had space they'd likely STN on me

Very nice piece you have there!

Doug, I had metal halide before but decided to switch over to T5 since I only had LPS and soft corals in my tank before. I was only interested in things that move, hence all the anenomes, torches, etc in my tank. I guess I'll see how these two guinea pigs go then I'll see if I need to upgrade or just switch back to MH. It could be another expensive addiction on its way Hopefully, by that time, LED would come down in price enough as well.
