Those are incredible specimens there man

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

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.
