Indeed you do! Plus, I know you'll want to take home a bunch of the free elkhorn.I've been to your place a few times, but all were within covid times, so I never got to see your tanks, outside of looking through a window. I need to get up there soon to see them in person! Those mushrooms are very interesting, plus I need to see the last colony of my milli that I know of.
Lord knows I have enough of it already!Indeed you do! Plus, I know you'll want to take home a bunch of the free elkhorn.
It's doing great. Not growing real fast at the moment, and it is primarily just green, but very healthy.How’s my baby doing?
I have three Maxspect Recurve LED lights, which appear to be discontinued already - I only see the regular Razor models for sale now. They're not as intense as the Radions, but they have good spread.Curious about what lights you are using.
Nice, I was thinking maybe the par was the reason for the way your SPS grow but not sure could be the flow. You seem to get a lot of encrusting and I just found it interesting.I have three Maxspect Recurve LED lights, which appear to be discontinued already - I only see the regular Razor models for sale now.

Yeah, it would seem to make sense to get more encrusting in lower light - more surface directly exposed to the light. My large elkhorn colony definitely grows with taller and more branches on the side that has more light, and the darker side grows flatter and with fewer branches, so that supports this idea. My flow is pretty low - just the returns and one Maxspect Gyre at one end running between 10-20%. I think low flow would encourage more vertical growth, so it looks like lower light wins.Nice, I was thinking maybe the par was the reason for the way your SPS grow but not sure could be the flow.

Sadly, it died a couple years ago when velvet wiped out about half the fish. I did not get to have it very long. There were times I thought it might be eating some coral, but I could never confirm any damage, so it might have just been looking for algae. It sure was beautiful, and never bothered any fish.Frank,
Hows the parrot fish doing in your tank? Is it well behaved?
It’s on my fish list I almost got one but it was a little over sized. I want a small one.
