Lets see your BIG colonies!
 
I want to see some pictures of HUGE SPS!! Full tanks shots included.

Show me what you've got.

Not sure if I would call this huge or not, but my one tabling milli is at least 9*9. Pretty much all of that growth happen in about 9 months.

Here is a shot with the light hood off, and with a flash, the colors are a bit off.

A better (( but doesn't show the size as well )) shot -- the colors are more accurate.

nice growth! how large was it when you started?

Toddrtrex 01/27/2009 03:18 PM

These pictures are from 3/2/08

This shot is from a slightly different angle, but gives you an idea of its size. It is about 1/4 of the way from the left.

Yep, that is my 58. I dose 2 part (( C-balance )) each night (( about 100 ml of each )) and try to drip Kalk 24/7. However, I seem to always skip a day or two before refilling the Kalk dripper, and sometimes just refill it without adding more kalk --- don't do this on purpose, more out of being lazy. :)

jmadison 01/27/2009 11:13 PM

Todd- do you run a calc reactor then? Amazing growth!

Think you posted about the same time I did -- nope, just 2 part and kalk drip.

Thanks. And my green cap is growing like a weed. Started off about 2 inches in diameter and is now (( if the parts that are growing up, went out )) about 12 inches.

What I love about this hobby is that there are literally hundreds of ways to reef correctly and get great results.

How big is that undata? Got any pics of it from above?

RockyMtnReef 01/29/2009 12:28 PM

I would say it is about 12" across right now. This photo is a few months old and under 10K lighting so the colors arent that great. It does a lot better under 20K

http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...ghtCorner1.jpg


Here is one I kinda like from the bottom up. Also a little old. This coral grows like crazy. At least 1/2" per month.
