    That's some good growth. Especially on the confusa! It'll be cool to watch em grow from month to month. :)


    Tip: Don't include a Big Grab bag of Doritos Second Degree Burn in the your first meal of the morning.

    Coral looks real healthy and vibrant. You are doing a great job. You may have posted a full tank shot before but how about another now?

    Thier hot! And don't agree with an empty stomach that has issues.

    Sorry I don't know enough about your system to suggest anything on the extension issue.

    nice growth shots Phoenix heights

    digis are a strange coral - I have 3 frags of them a red/purple, a blue, and a green

    the red/purple and the blue , have a full coat of polyps every day and all night
    the green one had a full coat for 3 or 4 days and since then only partial PE
    It was at same level in tank as the other 2 and thus flow and light where similar for all 3 pieces

    its still growing, just not showing the same degree / uniformity of PE that the other 2 are
