    This is about 1 month growth. It's better than I've ever gotten, but how does it compare to everyone else's. Is this fast growth.
    The monti got completely bleached, I thought it was dead, then I saw some growth. That's about 1 month on the monti as well.

    It's so hard to keep everything happy at one time, if it's not dying, you're doing good in my book. Looks like good growth to me. Is this the tank with the ATS?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is pretty good growth for 1 month. Especially for the encrusting one in the top image, they seem to be the slowest in my experience. And the Pocillopora growth is good as well.

    I like growth shots. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I just added more flow to my tank. Some corals love it, some not so much.
    This is the tank with the ATS. I have one one salt tank for now.

    Good to hear. I am really happy with it. the encrusting one really surprised me. It came in on a candy cane colony, I thought it would die or just kinda struggle, because of the shade and low placement from the candy canes, but it's doing great. The polyps went from brown to yellow and are out all the time.
    I like growth shots too, so look out for some more in about a month.

    Thank you.

    One question, the monti that is recovering, i noticed the bleached piece starting to look a bit greener, will it fully recover? Will growth start from the rest of the rim?
