Psychosis Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Depends entirely on your lighting and the flow in your tank I believe. Not to mention various water quality factors. Link to comment
reefdan Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 +1 on birdsnest also the green slimer Link to comment
bmac16 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 i think the posts above are very true and to really find out you would need testing and all that...but w/ metal halide and a nice stable tank w/ no dosing, im pretty sure birdnest grow the quickest Link to comment
revaltion131 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 IME, in the same tank, same stats, all that junk, Bird's Nest corals are far and above the fastest growing, branching-type SPS. Link to comment
angelacbishop Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Acros and digis can grow quickly too. A lot of times it depends on the specimin itself and how well suited it is for your tank. Link to comment
corallineadam Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 depends on your tank +1 to reefdan... birdsnests are "fast" growers +1 to angela... many montipora sp and many acropora sp will be "fast" growing SPS Link to comment
angelacbishop Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 IME, in the same tank, same stats, all that junk, Bird's Nest corals are far and above the fastest growing, branching-type SPS. In my T-5 lit 60 gallon, my fastest growing SPS are a green acro and a german blue polyp digi. They have far surpassed the 4 types of birdsnests I have growing in there. In general though, I think your statement is usually true. Link to comment
DBTReefer Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Wow, thanks everyone! My tank will be lit by a 30" sundial with 4 24 watt t5 bulbs. Flow will be from a Koralia 1 and a Koralia nano, as well as my Eshopps HOB skimmer. About a 23x turnover per hour. Hopefully everything above will still apply, cause those are all of the corals i want, especially the green bali slimer. Thanks again. Link to comment

reefpets.com Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 In my tanks Valida Acropora grow the fastest. I get a lot of growth out of Birds Nest but I get more from Valida species. Link to comment
