    June 2010-Sept 2012.

    It's about 1 foot across going both directions.

    I lowered it in the tank for now, you can see the flattened tips in the one branch image.

    Some of the base has died off, I assume due to age and shade and maybe something to do with flow. It still shows good PE and growth with decent coloration, need a new bulb desperately.

    Thank you do to all that have followed. :)

    Exactly Alex, if you can show off the stagnant pond of a tank I could women up and show mine right?

    LOL, kidding I love your tank for a lot of reasons. Mine not so much.;)

    Thank you RC,

    The corals get 90% of the credit, I have been a very bad hobbyist the last 6 months.

    Like I told Alex, when the world ends there will be cockroaches, RP and Duncans.

    Beautiful shots, Cheryl. Always wondered what corals do when they reach the surface.

    Thank you Mr. Bill.

    They seem to just turn knobby as near as I can tell. I will know better when I change the bulb. It's all plateaued out, and since I moved it down it will be interesting to see if new branch develop in those areas.

    Hey Hey Don.

    You'd better watch out, you will have to buy one of those fancy cameras once you become addicted to taking images. It's one of the symptoms of SPS Chronic Syndrome. First symptom starts with buying lighting, then building a sump, then purchasing the sps, next dosing and lastly upgrading your camera. Once you have reached the final stage it's terminal.
