How does the pink stylo grow for you? Just curious as I always found mine (when I had one) to be agonizingly slow growing.

LOVE that pink though.

Hey Tony,

I do find them to be a bit slow, which is good for me as I really like there colors and shapes.

I think there is an exception to the slow growing part, this would be Coral Masters rainbow stylo. I had gotten a frag of it awhile ago and its now a small colony, very fast growing and very cool colors.

Looks Great John

Lots more room for even more coral

You mentioned a while back that you were looking for a new light fixture. Did you change your lighting in the end?

even with the large colonies removed, i still had even coral to fill in the gaps. hehe.

i did not change my lighting yet, i am still debating on what to do, as there are very few 72inch t5 fixtures, lots with MH combos, but I think am going to stick with the t5s.

I did think about trying to add a fixture to this, but even this is a bit difficult as it has to be a certain width, and everything i am finding is either 4 or 5 inchs to wide.

and i think if i add a center brace it will take away from the open top look. the reason for the center brace would be so i can add 2, 3ft t5 fixtures/

Hey John,

Have you considered a 60 inch T5, you'll just lose 6 inches per side, you can keep lower light SPS on the ends of you tank?

Your Stylo's and Poccis's are looking great, I'll have to keep an eye out for some of those pink one's.
