Matt, please don't upset Andrew.
We all know his corals are very slow growing as I have pointed out. Don't need to rub it in. :uhoh3::love1:

Nice photos - by the way, it's clear and bright.

In the United States, we would call them Growth Challenged Corals. So as not to hurt their feelings.

To be honest i used to use it for nutrient control before some aussie bloke stumbled upon the effectiveness of matrix and siporax! since then ive just been plotting along not changing too much. i only dose 0.5ml twice a day via dosing pump so i dont think itl have any drastic effects within a 1000L system.



Thanks mate



Haha poor andrew copping it left right and centre!



Cheers Kev



Perhaps all this talk about Andrews growth got back to his corals which therefore stumped their growth due to hurt feelings? vicious cycle really isnt it.. :p

Considering that in all the years i've been on RC i can't remember once, ever having made fun of a fellow reefer i'm a tad surprised to be picked on by the RC rat pack............ :sad1:

You guys are like nasty bull ants attacking a helpless butterfly. I remember when i shoved a stick in a bull ants nest when i was 9 or 10 and a few of them bit me. I didn't retaliate, i just thought ' well i had that coming ' :)

Then i went home and got dad's tin of mower fuel and a box of matches........

Hahaha i tried to jump to your defence andrew.... well atleast tried to knock it back a peg :p dont need ridiculously big colonies when you pull the colors you do mate ;) let put the box of matches and the jerry can away haha
 
Lol it's all good Brok, it's not like my fish were getting ready to man the acro porn cannons....... :p

Nothing noteworthy however a few new additions. Decided to grab a bit of purple as i was going through and ditching all my greens.... either than or chuck my invasive whitey bluey sps that kills everything else on top of them.



new rescued echinata thats looking sad


One of my favourite white with purple tips that had been shaded by a few corals. so it got moved onto a dead green wil keep taking pics of its progress.... unless i kill it... in which case you never saw anything here :)


and if you didnt have my crappy photography and the light reflection it would be a nice photo, del fuegy type with a backdrop of rastas and a cheap nem!
 
Few more pics

these few pics are examples of me holding the camera in the tank without me looking through the lens so basically just taking blind pics and then choosing which ones i actually managed to get focussed!

pink robusta



red planet and echinata from above posts


grow over everything milli


strange milli


sustainables spath... love the reddy polyps


update wouldnt be complete without my favourite green, looking a bit better now ive had time to tinker with the tank


Goldy milli
 
Awesome pics Brok, acros all look beautifully colored mate and growing like weeds :)

That little echi is looking a tad washed out lol, i'm sure it won't a month from now with your care. Is that a deep pink milli or a red one, it looks saturated pink to me from your pic. Looks awesome even if it grows over everything. :thumbsup:

Cheers Andrew! Yeh the poor little echis seen better days, looks like its recovering slowly. The milli i think your reffering to is a red milli with orangey scales, its turned to more of a dark pink pigment recently so i look forward to getting it back to its more red self. I have two mini colonies of it an this is the larger one, the smaller one is lower down in the tank and seems to retain its orangey scales so too much light might be playing a part there.

Brok, I know a Bloke just like you. He once blamed it on lack of vitamins.

Hey ! I put a lot more thought and effort into my vitamin excuse than bloody Brok did with his lamo light excuse Marty. I have flair :thumbsup:

The shaded pinky red milli looks way prettier in the pic than the one copping the brunt of light above it Brok. The light dark pigment contrast between the two is cool though :)

Haha you certainly put alot more thought in, and were certainly thankful for that! i wouldnt be any good at that, if everyone followed my lead weld just end up with a bunch of blokes that keep making excuses all the time. haha the pink shaded one is just a normal pink milli, top one copping the brunt of the light is the same as this one:
