Yes, it is very slow! What you see there is about two years of growth. Granted that is also through a crash and a tank upgrade.

I got it from a guy who got it from JDA, who got it from Peng.

That makes sense. I was gonna say the only person I knew that had it was JDA and he rarely frags his that I’m aware of

Keep a look out. I regularly see 120’s-180’s in my area.

I’ve been looking, no success yet. I’ve actually/purposely holding off trying to upgrade hoping I can find a 120.

If you slow growth, you'll like the superman tenuis. I have 2 others that grow slower, but man that superman is so slow. Really needs some intense lighting to take off.
Hard to get the blue in a photo. It's really intense. A bit dull lately, but po4 is up 0.01ppm more than usual and I started dosing trace elements heavier. Now, just a bit more light and I should be good to go.

Yeah man that's a stunner. I am a sucker for blues!

@JCOLE @Jposch damn you. Now I really need to get my upgrade done. I’m jonesing for Acros as much as I did back in the 90’s.

I’m regretting buying the 75 for the upgrade and wish I would have gone 120. With tank prices where they are today, I may be stuck with upgrading to the 75 unless I can find a used 120.

That's what I am here for!

I say do it if you can find one! The 75 will be outgrown in no time!

I know. When I first got into Acros in the 90s I had a 200 oceanic. Then upgraded to a 450. Then kids sports combined with a job loss/reduced income killed all that. I’ve had a 40, then a 92 corner bow and now a 40 since.

I think that is the usual progression with lifelong reefers. Sounds like round two is about to happen! Bring that 450 back!

When the weather is right they always let their hair down.

Too much maintenance/cost. If money were no issue and I didn't have to work full time...maybe.

I dismissed acros and lame and trendy for a decade. now I can't resist them.
