Coral comes 2nd to a build that in my mind "Has done did do right the first time" ... You have set yourself up for success with just the build alone.
Awesome Tank, I'm for sure jealous 1 for the space you have to set all that up. 2 for all the coral!

Here are some before & after growth shots from the beginning of February to present. The Red Dragon before shot was from Sept of last year. This is still relatively a young tank as it has only been up and running for exactly 1 year now. I would say the first 6 months were pretty bad for growth and colour. The last 6 months I have really seen a big difference in both.
Tyree Pink Lemonade. This thing took forever to grow. I actually had this frag for about 1 1/2 years. It did nothing in my old tank whatsoever and pretty much only took off over the last 4 months I would say.  Tyree Red Dragon. Actually got amazing growth as this is typically a slow growing coral. Not bad for 1 year.  DV Candlelight. Not a ton of growth over 6 months but it has easily doubled in size.  Tubbs Pink Jade - This has really grown well over the last 6 months. I even accidently fragged a large branch off when I bumped it once.  Ultimate Bonsai - This has really taken off as well over the last 6 months. The colour is amazing now and has really only got nice and bright over the last 2 or 3 months.  Tyree Setosa. Another notoriously slow grower. It is doing its thing though and the colour is just getting deeper and brighter by the day it seems.  RR Gold Bar - Here is one that did absolutely nothing for 4 months until Feb where you can see some little tips starting to grow. Over the past 6 months it has easily quadrupled in size.  ORA Hawkins - It actually started growing right when I got it and just keeps going nice and steady. The branches are growing really tight together and the colour is just unreal. One of my favourite pieces!  Here's a shot of my Red Acro and DV Limeade. Both have grown nicely but that Limeade grows like a weed!!!  FTS Comparison. Lots of things have moved around and I lost my massive Hollywood Stunner.  It's in frags now... You can see the big change in colour though. Some of it is the photo I am sure but the colours on my SPS is 10x better than 6 months ago.
