Then and Now... Coral Growth

[Pinkheine]

Anyone care to share some before/after or then/now pics of noticable coral growth? I have to say that is one of the most enjoyable things about this hobby is watching things progress from a small frag to a colony of something.

Here are a couple of mine, not the best pics but wth.

Watermelon Zoas then...

Rics then...

Now...

BEST THREAD IDEA! I 100% agree, this has been my favorite thing to witness. I have had tank for little over 4 months and love to see any growth of my corals. Anyone with other pictures post away. Sanjays tank shows UNREAL amounts of growth.

Your shots are great. Those corals took off Great! what do you dose or have in the tank?

Almost cant even tell! Great growth. I can't wait for all these shots. This makes we wanna take shots of all my frags seperate so I can track the growth!

Reefman, very cool! Those before and afters are great.

DrCooper-- we have taken pictures of every frag upon introduction to the tank. Then when I take random tank shots I'll do each individual. Kind of like a journal of sorts to keep track of what is successful. I try and use the time stamp on the actual picture to give a frame of reference. As for dosing we just recently started needing to add something other than just water changes. Still figuring out the specific dosing schedule/how much to add etc.
