Hey all,
Since I have joined these forums, seeing all the cool tanks has gotten me bitten by the SPS bug. While my tank is primarily LPS currently, I am hoping to get several monti and acro frags at an upcoming local coral swap. My problem lies with the fact that I am 15, and although I am the one who takes care of the tank, my parents are the ones with the funds that pay for new livestock. While I know the frags will look awesome within a few short months, my parents are never so convinced, and often refuse to spend $20 on the 1 inch brown stick that I insist will look really cool in a few months. This is often amplified when they see the hammer and brain corals that our LFS will often have sitting right next to them. So i was wondering, do any of you have some nice progression shots so I can help convince them that these little brown sticks become massive and colorful corals, rather than bigger brown sticks? If you don't mind please include the type of coral, lighting, and the length of time between shots.
Thanks Everyone!!
