Ora Redplanet growth shots. Proof of life for 2013

niiiiice! super healthy with white tips and everything. looks great

 

Thank you Chris. One would do very well under your lighting and with all that flow if you go sps.

LOL Exactly, white tips. That is what lets me know I am doing ok parameter wise.

 

Funny you say that, I'm picking up some frags tomorrow! Green monti and a rp.

 

Great growth, congrats on the success with your RP. I wish mine would do that well. Im still struggling trying to get mine to color up.

 

Awesome peice of coral you got there, well done for sure! I will surely be grabbing a Rp once I start adding live.

 

Looking great as always!
Do you sell frags locally? With a colony like that, regular pruning only speeds up the growth!

 

Thank you,

I think the fact that I do not run a skimmer keeps enough nutrients in my water to enhance the color, just a theory.

Thank you very much. Yea RP is always a easy rewarding coral if you get a nice frag and grows fast.

I have not pruned in a while and I usually trade pieces at the LFS, because I am too chicken to send it through the mail and cost a small fortunate.
When it was too high it stunted it's growth once the tips reached the surface and my parameters were off. Now that it's down lower and I am testing more frequently it's taking off again.

Dosing a ton now though, much more than ever, guess that is what happens with you get larger colonies. I probably could not keep up with clams. Nanos are tricky chemistry wise, very unstable.

Thank you Trent, do you still have that German Blue?

 

I do. Not my original mother colony that I had from before the copper crash. But have gotten a frag of it back and am on my way to growing it out again. Need a piece?

 

Sure I would love to have a piece, but shipping is too much for one frag.

I would REALLY like to see an image of it though if you get the time.

 

This is the best picture I could find. Not my display colony, but my "growout" piece from probably about 2.5? years ago.
