I like the way it looks, over time will they get big and grow out to be longer and more colors? Ive had them in my tank since I started it and it has grown slowly but hasnt gotten much longer, I have my powerheads blowing directly on them is that a problem? also since there not growing that fast and if I am correct those are both corals... should I maybe invest in some new lighting and maybe a new top to the tank?

Well its nice to know that I have some corals already going in the tank and they havnt died off yet, and there growing! so yes you were right YAY! now I'm going to grab up some zoos this week and some more LR.
Also I know its early but do you have any clue what kind of SPS that is?
Also I have been reading what to feed corals, and it says marine snow... I cannot find a good description of that yet.

Ahh alright just keep doing what I'm doing then eh, feeding the fish and watching the tank mature.
Montipora got ya, I was just looking in the store to see what the mature version looks like and didnt see one there. Is my lighting ok for what I have or should I invest in a better setup.

Alright so a pc light is a power compact light, standing for packing a lot of wattage in a small tube? the lights I have do have two connectors one on each side of the bulb, if I was to purchase a new hood / bulbs for this tank what would you buy if it was you, dont worry about price but dont get carried away with it. I dont mind spending money on this hobby because this is something I have wanted for a long time.

I have a Sundial T5HO light on my 29G...I have a nice monti, lps, zoas, etc and a maxima clam in it
be aware that CurrentUSA has stopped making t5 fixtures, so it may be hard to get replacement parts later on down the line. get a TEK T5 fixture instead.

Yeah I have it on two of the rocks in the front of my tank right now, both are nearly cover so I may move it up some a bigger rock or just cut some of the mat and move it to the rock. My mushroom I bought has opened up really nice in 5 hours and 90% of my zoos are almost fully opened. Ill post pics shortly.
