    Default Like watching grass grow

    I am sure like most everyone on the board, I spend a considerable amount of time staring in to my tank wondering if all that stuff in there is actually growing. It kind of like watching grass grow, the harder you stare the slower it goes. But last night, I was borrowsing through some pictures from a couple months and saw a picture of my Green Montipora Capriconis. I was like "Wow, that thing is really changed". I thought I would share. The early picture was from 3-20-06 and the later was from today, 5-20-06. I would recommend taking pictures of your corals a couple times a year just to compare. You will be surprised.

    That pink acro is so beautiful! That's it's actual color without altering it in any way? WOW! I love all the caps too, and scrolls are awesome. Someday I'd like to make a tank like that devoted to both! It would be gorgous! Thanks for sharing! Angel :angel06:

    Just thought I would throw a new picture up on the Green Monti. She is really growing. Unfortunity I am going to selling this coral soon in order to downsize to a 30 gallon. I am going to keep a frag and hope it grows.

    Whoyah whats your set up? Skimming? water changes etc? I have 2 caps and their not growing nearly half as fast as that and I have MH 150watts too. So Im really curious to know what I could be doing wrong. Also mention your flow and such.
    55 Gallon. One year old, and looking SUPER.
