Thanks Rob, Mike, and Joe. I'm trying my best to keep it steady despite 16hr work days and a new baby on the way. Hope I can keep it growing just the way it is

Congrat Rich!!! It's about time

Do you dose a lot more with t5 as primary light or pretty much the same?

 

[jackson6745]

Thanks Kenny and Duro. I appreciate it.

Thanks Sam. I am back to halide now . With T5 my growth did increase overall and I did end up dosing more to keep up with calcification demands. Keep in mind I had 10 T5 over my tank. IMO complete T5 coverage give the best growth of any lighting, but NOTHING compares to halide color.... NOTHING!!!!

Thanks Charlie. That growth kind of happened by accident. They were originally 1 and 2 polyp frags that grew into a tight cluster. I'm not sure why you can't keep them. I don't think it' your lighting, flow, or water quality. Do you think one of the fish is chowing down?

Leave it in the sump with lighting, if it does well, it's your fish. If not it's your water and you

Just an update video from today. po4 has been 0.0 for last few weeks so I removed GFO and colors are improving. Growth and color both improving greatly this last month. Click pic to play video.

Looking good Rich and nice polyp extension

Just say NO to GFO

 

[jackson6745]

Thanks Mike. Po4 was high over the summer and early fall so I started running it again. Definitely don't need po4 reduction right now. Nitrates running 25ppm at the moment :thrash::thrash::thrash::thrash::thrash:
