Whats the average rate of polyp growth in your tank?

I have about 8 different types of Zoas in my tank and for the first time in 3 years (when I first got in to the saltwater world) I have been having polyp growth. I set up the 90g back in September and since then this is what I have counted so far:

Tubb Blues- 2 new polyps
Orange Ring w/t Green and white center- 7 new polyps
Keed Reds- 12 new polyps
Powder Blues- 2 new polyps
Pinkies- 1 new polyp
Red People Eaters -5 new polyps

Thats this sounds normal to you/is this a good growth rate for this type of zoas?
 
I do water changes every 2 weeks now, I feed 2 times a day. Every four days I add Kent Marine Strontium & Molybdenum(Green Bottle) in to the tank, however Lately (the past two weeks) I have replaced Strontium with Reef Solution because there is Vitamin C in Reef solution and I read here that Vitamin C is good for your zoas. I haven't noticed that much of a difference every since I switch, besides that some faded pink zoa frags I have laying around are now slowly getting their color back.
Last, the lights stay on for about 7-8 hours the most
