Growth shots anyone?

That's cool, it looks like you have the right ballasts to get the most out of the XM's. I miss that look, it's so hard to duplicate with 250 watters.

 

I'm learning to live without it. It's not easy but at least I don't have to run a chiller and 2 fans anymore. Oh well, I suppose I can look at your pictures and go see JJ's tank for my fix. /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif src="/site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>

Are you two gunna rag on me the rest of my life?.....Gunna start giving me a complexWhat's this in regards to?
My thoughts exactly....what are you talking about?  Did i miss something?
That was regarding the size of my frag......hence the size complex.....

 

The more rare they are, the smaller they are. You should've seen my watermelon when I first got it, it was tiny! I don't mind small as long as the frags are healthy.

 

As you know, the plugs are roughly the size of a quarter.  Look how tiny the watermelon is in comparison to a quarter!
Here's what it looked like when I got it.

Here's what it looks like now.

 

No, I just feed the entire tank with the in-tank pumps running. I shut down the skimmer and return pump when I feed. I'm sure spot feeding would probably be the best method for maximum growth but if I spot fed 1 coral then it would turn into 40 corals and I would be there for an hour everyday.

 

Here's my nuclear green palys.  When I got them, there were only 3 polyps.  Now there are 5 little ones that has grown since then.  One thing worth noting is that these palys seem to migrate.  Notice how I had it mounted dead center on the disk?  Now it has moved off to the side.

Then:


Now:

 

Here's the purple death palys.  Just like the nuclear greens, I only got 3 polyps to start.  Now there are over 6 new polyps on it.
Then:

Now:

 

Thanks Jeremy, can't wait to see what you're going to share! 
These Armor of God paly variation has grown out a bunch.  It only had about 15 polyps to start with and now there's over 40.  Too bad my other palys doesn't grow that fast.

Then:


Now:

 

You guys are getting some awesome growth! You obviously are doing something right!

 

Thanks Matt! It's harder to tell when you see them everyday. That's why it's nice to look back on pictures.

 

At that rate you should have your tank looking nice in short order! /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif

 

I hope so, that's the goal anyway. I'm tired of looking at frags. /site/DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif It'll be another 2 years before everything is fully grown in.

 

Wow! Thanks for sharing, Jeremy! Not only are you getting phenomenal growth, the colors are so much better now than they were back then. You should really be proud of your tank.
