Growth pics (dialup beware)
I was reading another thread about sps growth and rather then hijack that thread I thought I should start my own thread.
I realize different corals will not grow at the same rates and monti's usually grow faster then acros ect but after reading that other thread I suspect I am getting phenomenal growth relative to some Pic are worth a thousand words I have a 175g bowfront set up march 06 this pic was taken oct 06 march 07 july 07 sept 07

Love progressive growth shots. Awesome tank, nice full colonies of SPS. Turning into a sweet reef. Your Achilles is one cool tang. Thanks for sharing your success story.

The only thing I add to the tank is fish food, kalkwasser and RO top off water. I do occasional water changes, have activated carbon and a pathetic red sea berlin protien skimmer. I have just about every pest algae you can get in there, a regal angel that trims my acros regularily and daytime polyp extension is non existant because of the angel. I have 3 250w DE 10k metal halides on for 10 hours and 2 vho (actinic and 10k) on for 13 hours. There is a basement sump with some caulerpa and live rock and a calcium reactor that can't keep up. Hmmm anything else?

One of the guys who had a previous tank of the month kept a large angel with his SPS. He reported that it appeared that wherever his angel nipped the corals, the faster it appeared the corals regrew... (I'm sorry I can't reference the Tank of the month that this was)
I wonder if this might have anything to do with the growth?? |

Maybe the Kalkwasser has something to do about the fast growth; It bindes Carbon-dioxide, increase the pH and make it easier for corals to calcify that way.
Nice corals btw ! Leonardo

IT is the 10Ks lots of par. if you want to run 10k you can grow sps in a standard 100 with 2X175 if you want to see real fast growth, get some 6500s nice tank. red sea berlin or turbofloater is just fine, and that is all it takes: good light, some skimming, cool water and kalk.. flow helps
