Thanks guys. Kev, the growth is pretty damn slow. It will kill anything that it touches. I say about 1/2" a month?

No FTS yet Mark. Peter, how is your green cap doing?
Dave, it's canon D20. I'm taking it w/ me to Reefermadness in September. I'll post some topdown shots when I get back.

Horrible, thanks for asking

I gave away frags today, hoping to save some in others tanks. All my montis look pretty rough. No clue why. I updated my thread.

What is the centered piece with the pink polyps (1st photo)? Is it an encrusting coral or more like a ridge? I think my g/f would dig that it the tank. All the pics look sweet BTW.

Your ponape birdnest looks great. What type of lighting is it under?
