YOur eyes play tricks on you dont they ??? how do you know if that new anenome has moves or if the coral is grown well 2 easy steps
1 use a sharpi to draw an out line of the object on the front glass

of course it will look different depending on where you stand
so
2 While being lined up with the outline and the object being outlined put marks on the glass on the corners of objects that dont move( liverock, powerhead) so later when you line up with the lines that are on the non moving object the outline of the item you are monitering weill be in the same placee( you can tell if it grew / moved

Pictures can be of a great help when it comes to this. :)

A little side by side comparison tells a lot when you look back on them.

I know... you can outline your feet on the floor, so you know EXACTLY where to stand.

:D
