I want to start into the Acro but i had to make sure the will thrive under my new Led lights .....so i went out and bought a couple of run of the mill milli's to see if they will do ok.....so if some of you SPS collectors can let me know if this milli is growing fast or should it be growing faster in this time span.....thanks

Just looked them up and they look to make some awesome affordable lights! I hate to get off the original topic but can you post your tank size and how many units are over your tank? I would like to see the spread also.

Growth looks normal to me........the color looks the same, but it's hard to tell with the blue tint to the pictures. There's a lot of variables involved other than lights. If the coral is growing & coloring to your tastes, all is good.
