4x5 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Promised you some updates bro, so here we are. It lost alot of the pink during transition, but now its coming in strong again. Pretty good growth for 3-4 weeks on a SUPER fresh cut. Has grown a little more since this pic also. Should have a branch that I can frag soon. Already popping side nubs everywhere.Beautiful Acro. It's graduated to a frag now. It really should have been sold to you encrusted like that in the first place considering the price. 2 Quote Link to comment
Alex B Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Beautiful Acro. It's graduated to a frag now. It really should have been sold to you encrusted like that in the first place considering the price. lol...unfortunately whats a "Frag" everywhere else in the world, is a colony here. Its just the nature of the beast. Ive accepted it and embraced it. There is pro's and con's to both sides. Much easier to control pest and a proper QT on a small piece vs a mariculture/wild colony. I honestly do not buy encrusted coral anymore. If I do, I rip it off the plug anyway and throw away the encrustment. When you deal with the level of pest I do in a retail store it changes your views on things. Priority #1 is making sure my systems are clean. Not easy to do in 6,000 gallons of water 2 Quote Link to comment

I was saying how small the frags are here in the states compared to everywhere else. Come on bro. You really think I would call that a colony? Trust me, I know what a colony is. I only have a bunch spanning 20" plus. 2 Quote Link to comment

Matteo Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I have been spending some time following this thread and even saw it when it was from the beginning and I just want to say what a setup! You're attention to detail on the scaping and coral placement is stellar along with your mad photography skills! Pretty jelly my man, pretty jelly. Quote Link to comment
