1 month after getting my first SPS

Sorry, I don't have any pics of the tank just before I had a massive frag event. Back then I only had 18-20 corals in the tank (180g 6' long). But they were all growing into each other. Like I said, the Hollywood Stunner was turning up a few inches on the left end glass and the back glass. There was just barely room to get the mag scrapper between it and the front glass. After I fragged all the big corals, I moved some 45-50 new corals (all fairly small) into the tank from a 65g I was using as a holding tank. The fragged Stunner went back in the tank and was just 4" in diameter. It's been 9 months since then and the Stunner is already 10" to 12" in diameter.

A shot from above with the home made camera look down box. A very cool idea somebody else here at RC passed along. Thanks, it works really well.



A shot from the side to try and get the closed loop revolution head out of the way. The smaller Stunner down below the big one was a tiny frag (less than a 1" chip) that was stuck to the rock from the original big version. It looks different because it doesn't get as much light. The big one is so close to the water surface it's probably getting a PAR of 350 and the mouths grow right next to each other and make it look greener. When they are further apart due to less light it gets a lavender color flesh between the mouths.
