October entry (with August pic for comparison)

Looks like the branch on the right is getting a little longer and the body of the frag is 'beefing up' a bit.

Only parameters I checked recently were Alk (7.7) and Calcium (435), and both have been pretty stable near those values for several weeks.
 
Measurements taken 28 Oct
Sg: 1.026, no change
pH: 8.05(probe - daily range says 7.8-8.15 in the fall now, slight decrease, also recalibrated 2 weeks ago. time to start the c02 scrubber again)
KH: 8.8 (hana) *previous 8.4 ... but somehow there was debris in the fluid, I suspect the actual reading is lower than 8.8
Ca: 396(hana) (higher than previous of 493 - big drop, had changed a pH probe in the reactor and likely lowered drip rate)
P04: .2 (hana) *significant on purpose feeding increase as some other corals were losing colors, increased from .13.
Mag: 1320 (red sea) *same
Nitrate: 4-8ppm red sea test (havent tested in some time)

very minimal growth compared to others, but its growing! color is still there too
 
October pic. I think I got a nice 1/16 in. growth Also encrustment is over its original plug and getting on the disc. I was debating on moving it to higher PAR to “catch up”. But we’ll see

Also, I think I’m going to add a measurement in CM to see vertical growth better. So right now it’s at 2.7cm.
