Growth looks normal for 7 weeks, could be better could be worse.. all depends on lighting. as for color to tell you the truth the first pic looked way better be for you started, the second pick almost no change maybe slightly better in the before.. but both corals had better polyp extension in the before pics and overall looked better to me.

I guess I should have qualified my previous statement. My system was only running for about 4 months before I started RR and IMO the growth has accelerated since the RR. Before that I had a 40g for about a year and had slow growth in that time. It may just be that my old system was inadequate and my new one had not settled in yet or the corals were just getting used to it. That may have been normal growth for 7 weeks I’m not sure, I don’t have anything to compare it to. As I mentioned the growth of new branches is at a rate I have not seen in my limited experience.
As I also mentioned the color has only changed in a bird’s nest and a red moti cap not the two pictured. The new color is amazing, the cap went from a dull red to a vibrant deep dark red. I am not arguing for or against RR I am taking a wait and see approach, on my system and others. Since my system is so new I may never know. I just posted since Rich said no before and after pics in all this time.

It looks like your corals were doing very well to begin with. Looks great. That's pretty good growth for the pink acro without any additives. The growth from Jan to Mar was quite substantial considering it was a new tank. Also, the growth of your other Acros on this page was pretty amazing for just a couple of months of growth. http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...&pagenumber=10 Quote:

That's a good point Sam, these two probably aren’t the best to use as an example since they are my largest and fastest growers. I made my observations from all my 30+ corals and just threw these two pics up since Rich asked to see some before and after pics.
I’m starting to regret posting anything at all, now I know why no one else has.

Hmmm Acetic acid, is also know as Vinager, and sence I can't see them using any of the other acetates in tanks it must be sodium acetate. Steve

I thought I'd bring this thread back to life with my own experience with this product. I started using it in the first week of January 07. Here are some before & after shots. After having used it for 5 months I am not sure I'd want to stop.
Stylophora Dec 06  same coral May 07  A. Millepora early Jan 07  Same piece May 07

I started using it in March and can see better colour too. I didn't get any before pictures though.
