Nano, can I get picture of your tank please. I did try to look on your vblog but didn't see a 35 gallon tank.

Here's growth on one birdsnest in the first 6 weeks for reference

I have some corals that do absolutely nothing, and others that have taken off like crazy. I saw a burst of growth after switching salts (each time), first from Reef Crystals to Reef Salt and then to Reefers Best. I've also found fragging / scratching seems to promote growth as well... Some of the most amazing tanks around have angles in them, my growth has slowed since mine is gone. Polyp extension however is better . Likely bad advice, but just what I've noticed over the last while.

If you're increasing all the colors by 5% you're gradually making your color temp more blue.

For example.

50% white and 60% on each blue is slightly more blue than 45% white and 55% on both blues.

By increasing each color equally over the course of time you have increased your color temp.

I dunno if that's what did it, but it's possible

ive said this for a long time , i promote some of my growth to fragging. i find the freshly made colonies and the mother go through growth spurts when i do it.

i figure the shock to the corals stimulates reproduction and a growth spurt.

this is just what im finding nothing to back it up but my own eyes lol

Thanks for the replies so far guys, and Wayne funny you should mention the angel fish, I too since losing mine have notices crazy polyp extension. Not sure if its related but eho knows. My birdsnests are growing slowly, but the rest seem to be at a stand still, the bonzai I picked up as well as the purple cross haven't grown I bet even a 1/4" in 4 months. And i have 2 favia, one that grows like mad, and tge other is just starting to encrust the plug after 4 months its a littl confusing and frustrating

Have you changed the color ratios of your lights?
