Watermelon Chalice Growth and Pics
Got this watermelon frag around the end of Sept. Notice the frag on the disc. This is not a frag plug but is the larger frag disk that are sold.
This pic was taken on Sept. 28th 2007 - [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y232/revhtree/pics/IMG_7744.jpg[/IMG] Here is an up close taken the same night - [IMG]http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y232/revhtree/pics/water.jpg[/IMG] |
Now 3 months later here is the new growth...

As always I'm amazed with your photos :) Not exactly lightning-quick growers though lol... I'm getting about the same with mine.
|
sweeeeeet!
|
Thanks Dave and Brent! Yea it grows slow but I am happy that it's LIVING! LOL! I will have my CA Reactor going next week so maybe it will do better.
|

[B]Very nice...always wanted one...maybe next year...so what are their requirements to keep them thriving and healthy? [/B][/QUOTE] I had a hard time at first, but I think it may have had something to do with controlling my magnesium. They don't require alot of light. I have mine under 150 20k mh. |
Rev please tell us about lighting and placement. Thanks. :)
|
Well when I first got it my lighting was a single 250w HQI pendant. Now it is in a bigger tank and under (2) 250w SE MH's and 220w of VHO.
In both tanks it has been in the sand very front corner. I have since moved it to the sand in the middle and its doing great. Thanks for the comments folks. :) |
