Sooo your tank is looking beautiful as always! I too rock the iPhone pix, but I am thinking about getting a camera on Black friday if I can find a deal :) I LOVE the scroll coral! I have a pretty large chunk of one with a reddish base and yellow polyps and it is one of my favorite coral I have. Simple stuff but it has really cool growth patterns and the polyps on it are different then any other sps, yours too looks super in your tank beautiful next to your zs and ps!

Then it takes me 30mins of trying to set the coral in the place where we decided it goes before I get p*ssed and give up, then she does it in 5 seconds. I guess sometimes it takes a woman's touch.... sometimes.:-|Quote:

Pretty darn slow. I think I have gotten maybe a quarter inch to a half inch around the edges in 5 months. But hey nothing beautiful happens fast in this hobby. :)

After a few months of fairly heavy use the PVC ball valves on my mix station has become worn out one the RO/DI side. So this weekend I replaced them with turn handle stop valves, they are easier to turn (wife's request) and they are made for more frequent opening and closing. I planned on replacing all of the valves but the store only had 2 left. Just thought I would share in case anyone else is have problems with leaky valves.

Wow Badfish! This is freakin' amazing! Nice build.
Great pickup on that turbinaria BTW. 'Should add some great structure. -

The clam has about 1" of new growth (the white part on the shell) since I got it 2 months ago.

Thanks Larry, glad you think so. Personally I have no idea, I'm happy with all the growth but I don''t have enough experience with corals to know whats considered slow or fast growth.
