this gets right under 1"

this gets 1"

this acro gets a little under 1"

just curious what makes you know more then me??????....you are very confusing.....just because you are 40 and can keep sps alive for a month and i am 16 doesn't mean you know more then me?????......if you are so determined to say you know more then me...then show me some pictures...........why...

Originally posted by golfish :D I know I know....I guess when I managed to keep my first sps alive for more then a month I thought I knew everything too..Wait! I was almost 40 years old by then. I must of known everything because my teenage daughter knew everything.. right here....after you...

the monti is now close to 1/2 - 1 centimeter bigger (got it the 1st)......the 3 acro's that have been growing around 1" a month i don't have pictures of....but i am trying to get my downloading process upgraded...so i should have pics by the end of the night Brad

Mark do those look like they have been alive for only a month in my system.......if you have acro's that are more colorful than mine, i would be glad to submit and say my opinion doesn't matter one bit......... Brad

this guy is the one that has been growing like a weed!

while i wait for my photo software to update....here are so pics of my shabby color :rolleyes:

sure i will go upload a few.....i actually have a new monti that grew close to a centimeter in a week....

don't work at a LFS, we are a wholesale supplier! :) wow now are u saying i can only keep sps alive for a month.........many acros have been alive for close to a year an thriving.......do you call 1" a month barely alive?????? not meaning to get hostile but the color of your acro's is def. not...

looks like your coming along the setup is nice....how are the frags doing? Brad

i completely agree with golfish on the flow issue...when i said add 3 maxi jets that was asumming you already had 500-800gph.......for sps i think close to 1500 would be decent flow in a 75.................golfish i am sure my idea color is the same as yours (maybe even more picky cause i wont...

i believe with the correct water quality and flow you should be able to get good color......maybe not great growth but color......if you are really looking for the best color possible i personally would get all sunlight (white) bulbs (white light is alot more useful to corals...like 10k compared...

yes i know what you mean.....the only reason i said this is because many reefers i talk to (work at reefsplendor) that only keep soft corals wont even try sps because they think they are impossible....but by no means are they easy.....one must do a lot of research to keep healthy..... Brad

no lecture just what i understand to be true.........you know it seems to me like we are sort of agreeing doesn't it??????............like i said before i would strive for color and growth (which i have both of :) )...............i am just telling the guy not to worry when he has a brown coral...

yup i agree........... Brad

nooooo...i hate that stuff its just a cover up......by any chance are you using Oceanic salt???....there seems to be a connection between it and red slime.........also i would up ur flow with maybe a maxi jet or 2.......cutting down the lights is only going to effect the corals.... Brad
