Now in it’s permanent spot which makes for a difficult measurement.

So far just some nice encrustment.

September Photo- Parameters the same although PO4 has been in the higher realm for some strange reason. Working on dropping down now but not really concerned since color still seems okay. See you guys next month.

Starting to see light encrusting on the lower front side, accidentally turned the coral-------UGH!!!

I am pleased with the encrustation and the color is amazing, but no vertical growth yet....

well not much to report some encrusting that is about it.

 

[Caravanshaka]

September entry. Not sure if anything vertical yet, but it has encrusted to the rock already and branches appear to show a little growth.

 

[snakejacques]

[Triggreef]

Sept 28th. 2nd photo. Moved it to a forever spot and messed up some of the encrusting. Normal I don't put plug in my tank but had no choice since it was encrusted on it so I chip away the edge of the plug to try to hide it a little lol. Anyway ...
