It’s doing good. Prettiest thing in that frag tank. I’m going to get rid of my acros and be a goniopora guy from now on.

I am so confused. Read the first post and thought about hitting unsubscribe, then get to the pics of the acros and decided I can't leave. LOL.

Things are looking great. Glad to hear that everything is happy for the most part.

The first pictures I posted in 2020 had an anemone! It’s like you don’t even look at me anymore. We don’t even talk at night... just stare at our phones...

I like to toy with other’s emotions... keeps the thread lively.

No way! I’m going to give it a name, slam it with tons of blue, and take a picture through an orange filter with the saturation at 10000 and sell it for $899/1”!

Looks a lot like Acapulco Gold!

That only works if you didn't post the white first.

I'll give you a nickel. And some dog fur.

looks great! Any reason why you think growth has taken off now??

Thank you! He's finally almost to adult form. This was him just 3 months ago!

The change happened a lot quicker than I would have imagined!

I couldn’t pinpoint any particular thing but the two major changes recently have been keeping my pH above 8.2, I stopped carbon dosing and switched to a sulfur denitrator, and I sacrificed a couple colonies to the reef gods in the Fall when I went on vacation.

But mainly I think my acro growth slowed as my biopellet reactor was down and my nitrates jumped to 70+ ppm. Took me forever to get the sulfur denitrator going since I had my second kid around that time. When I finally got nitrates back to a reasonable level... growth took off again.

I am jealous of your WD, even under whites looks amazing in your tank.
