so you are moving pieces around to fit client's needs or do you frag/ break off pieces when needed?

Originally Posted by SnakeBlitz33 I can usually get sps corals to grow 1/2" to 1" per month on average. But, with PC lights, I guess it's doing alright. You need more light though!! with growth like that you must have a huge tank.
