One Years Growth on Red Planet Acro

[joshky]

By far my most impressive grower, red has been prettier in the past but growth just keeps moving along. All of my acros are still recovering from when I was dosing vibrant to combat bryopsis, which I stopped late January when I switched to fluconazole. I'm slowly seeing improvement across the board so I recently took a few photos for my journal, I cannot believe the growth on this piece looking at previous photos.

Nice, I just got a frag from a local reefer. I hope to see the same growth.

Do you have any other ORA frags?

I wonder how fast this one grows compared to their other offerings.

That's a nice red planet.

Sorry if I missed it in another thread but can u explain more about what happened when u where dosing vibrant. I have been dosing it for a couple of weeks & no issues so far, but I was wondering about your experience with it

Thanks everyone.

I have a purple plasma but couldn't get a good photo of it when I was taking photos, it hasn't grown nearly as quick. Red planet IME will grow when everything else has stopped and is on the edge of dying lol.

That's a nice red planet.

WOW, great growth.

Very nice. Quite remarkable how fast some of these corals can grow under favorable conditions.

[DivingTheWorld]

Awesome growth, wow! I hope my tank will eventually grow them that fast!

[MMacro]

Amazing growth and a beautiful colony!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everyone. Super easy acro to keep happy, I'm sure some of you out there could double what I did in a year.

No, what's even more remarkable is how pieces like the Red Planet can grow during unfavorable conditions. :uhoh2: haha

So tell us your secret! Are you dosing anything? How often do you do water changes and how much? Two-part or calcium reactor? Any tips on getting such great growth?

No secrets, honestly. I've abused my acros quite a bit, they've been through a lot of instability (mostly my fault), which is apparent in their total growth. Red planet is just super easy to grow; good flow, good light (I have t5s), and as stable as possible is all I've got to tell you. I'm using two part and recently switched to ESV B-Ionic from BRS, not long enough to attribute using it to my growth.
