Coral Growing Contest

January:
Not much growth other than a little encrusting over the super glue. The main difference I see is the color. The orange filter seems to make it look more brown than it is in person.

Holy cow! That got dark!

Mine bleached last week.

Bummer. I can get you another piece if you want. Any idea what happened?

 

[Ultraman]

Not sure. It was looking great and growing then just started getting lighter in color and it bleached out.

Sounds like red bugs lol

Got mine from the meetup at Dave's. A tank transfer, SPS crash, and emergency reboot happened shortly after. Looks like hot garbage, but it's a survivor.

Still hanging in there. I don't see much difference in size, but there's some new encrustment happening. It's been under pretty low par since the crash, but I've been ramping it up lately. Next month I bet will show some nice progress.

Got some good PE too!

Running pretty similar as I have been. Added a UV to battle dinos which has seemed to work!

 

[Ultraman]

Looking good, Casey!

Here is my February progress update. Everything is the same, except I've raised my nitrates to 20+ ppm, which seems to be helping things grow again.

Seeing some growth but not a lot. It may be getting shadows from the yellow tips.

 

[rad2dbones]

Getting some great color!

 

[Stlreefer1980]

My march update. I have seen only slight growth. The color is pretty good. I have a little bit of yellowing at the bottom. It think it is because the lower part is shaded by the upper part.

Starting to color up and good PE. Still very little growth.
