Day 1 growth (we going off cm?)
Day 1 color cant go 16k, I'm 20k radiums
Not sure how many of you are using a samsung phone but if you swipe right and select pro you can set the color temp @ 10k and get very accurate pictures. I've had this edge7 for years and didnt realize it until recently.

Day one Photo
Just kidding- I am still waiting for my frag. But this is the ATL Joleen (same strain everyone is growing out now) from my tank in 2017 before I killed almost all of my SPS.
Excited to grow it out again!
Also quick history for everyone in case anyone is curious as to lineage. This particular colony that we all received frags from has been growing since it was obtained from Aaron at SPS Coral store's booth at RAP (not sure how long he had it before then) but that was in 2012 (pic from December 2012 attached). This strain is pretty hardy and does well under LEDs and high flow. Grows VERY fast when happy. I moved up to WA in 2014 and dropped my entire SPS collection off with Steve to keep and grow out, the ATL Joleen has done very well in his outdoor grow system. I reseeded my tank w/ a frag in 2015, killed it in 2018. Trying again 2020.
