Jacobnano Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 its friday Aug 20th my whole family has tanks so if i do bring some stuff up there will be plenty of places to put them. Um its a decent growner I would say one new eye a month or a about 1/8-1/4" of new grown a month in perfect conditions as the frags get bigger the growth will increase make sure it always has some thing to plate across of the growth will slow down significantly ( ie a free standing over hang) Cool cool. Well that seems pretty fast to me! Ahhh that makes sense. They have to build a stronger skeleton if they aren't. Quote Link to comment

Dasani Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Wow, that thing is amazing. Quote Link to comment
scottyreef Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Yeah i think so too i hope i get a good piece a couple years ago i had a grafted simplex from steve but the color didnt stay and it later died after i had fell into another coral if i remember right Quote Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 You say grafted, so that is actually a combination of two corals? Quote Link to comment
scottyreef Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 yup force grafting of either the extact same spieces ( very hard to do) or intoduce a different type of coral like Pocillopora damicornis to morph the coral proteins Quote Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Ooooh coolio. That would be something kind of fun to try. Quote Link to comment

Diskusting Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Sweet set up, what Halide bulbs are you using to get so much color? I rarely see that kind of color out of MH lights. Quote Link to comment
