This piece loves light....

For sure. Its on its way back up to the top after a bleaching episode in my system.

Wow, mine bleached then browned out....it's growing but can't seem to get any color back into it

 

[ndrwater]

Well.... Mine is still hanging in there despite a total lighting system change, MASSIVE ALK swings etc...

Having a hard time uploading a pic, but I'll get there... My wifi is acting a fool....

One of the thing I like about these growouts is they really illustrate how much a tank will change a coral. A friend of mine will swear it's a different coral than what we started with. Lighting, nutrients, and elements play such a unique roll. My tank is currently going through some Kind of natural phenomenon because my nitrates are sitting at at least 80 and I have done 3 water changes without any change while testing every other day. I can see that I lost some color but for the most part everything looks good still. I honestly question the idea of running a low nutrient tank sometimes

Heres a quick iphone pic of my growout piece. Its located in the middle of the tank, starting to colonize nicely

Sweet, I can see those multi colored polyps coming in at the base. I had some of those until my frag made it to its final resting spot

Mine has covered the frag disk nicely, starting to see some green polyps extension.

Good question, there is no rule to post so I don't think anyone does. I post to try and keep it interesting, kind of the fun in the grow out I think. I wonder how many there are really left though. Maybe @Sandstrom can chime in

 

[Smite]

Looking great Danny. There are probably a few people laying low.... or they saw Danny's piece and threw in the towel lol
