Jared's Rainbow Milli Progression

1Snapple · Mar 29, 2012

I picked up this frag from www.rockymountianfrags.com about 3 weeks ago. Its starting to encrust.
If you have a colony post up a pic.
Just going to try to keep it updated monthly at the least.

Sorry for the dirty tank, im waiting on a CUC order and the white balance is off but i was too lazy to try to fix it.

Cool keep us updated.

I got a frag of this from him as well. Where do you have it in your tank? I have mine high up under 400s so hopefully it will color up into something spectacular!!!

I have mine about 3/4 way up the tank under a 250w halide, with the 14k pheonix bulbs

I will try and post a pic of mine when I can. It's in a hard spot to photograph and the camera can't capture it. Colors are spectacular and the rainbow rim is so sweet.

Looking forward to it billy, how long have you had yours?

BillyC · Mar 31, 2012

I think I've had it since last august. It's a very slow grower for a Mille but its definitely worth the wait. Your month to month update pics may not look very different at all.

1Snapple · Mar 31, 2012

Hmm, well yea its slow but its already encrusting for me which is unusual for a milli in my tank so i got hopes it will be a relatively quick grower.
when are you going to be moving?

1Snapple · Mar 31, 2012

Okay, I had to and edit the pic, it just didnt represent the pinkish/ red color.

1Snapple · Jun 29, 2012

Okay, i know ive been slacking but i would have done a pic every month but billy was NOT joking, such a slow grower, 3 moths time and heres the growth on it

myzislow · Jun 29, 2012

lol that is slow. Started from a pretty small, single stalk though, any acro that small is going to take some time to get going.

It's crazy how some Milles grow so fast while others are snails.

1Snapple · Jun 29, 2012

Agreed, this one is next to a green with pink tips one i have and the pink tip milli puts this one to shame

Hers mine pretty sweet grows pretty good for me

Pics not working

BillyC · Jun 29, 2012

Not only is this pic horrible but this piece is recovering from being bleached to where I thought it was dead after a failed tank move. When it was in its prime, the base had patches of lime green while keeping the right pink polyps. Def a very high light coral.

Weird guessing issue with the reefs app

1Snapple · Jun 30, 2012

Probably matt, thanks billy, nice piece man and i have my milli about 3/4 up the tank

It's funny because this is the fastest grower in my tank right now. I got it browned out and within a month it colored up and had new growth tips. It's high center of 8 bulb powermodule.
