Let's see what you've grown in your reef tank. Please give some details of what you attribute to the growth achieved.

Here's one I'm proud of, ORA Blue Millepora. This really took off when I switched to leds and started dosing alkalinity and calcium to keep my numbers stable.

Nice! Natural sunlight should grow a coral better than anything we can hang over our tanks. I guess that nonsense about sunlight causing algae is bogus.
