nice tank. How long has it been running? How long did it take to get that growth?

Hi what kind of acro is that on the lower hand side, is that a stylophora? and what color....it has a weird growth pattern that I've ever seen. nice tank btw.

i just notice that you have a big urchin...I used to have them but the thorns got so long that it knock corals on it's way so finally I got rid of it. Now I use a tuxedo urchin...and works better, because it doesn't really grow.

Thanks - been set up for 2 yrs. I've had the large monti cap you see on the bottom right side for around 8 months. The large blue acropora milliepora you see on the top left is one of my first pieces I got about a year and a half ago. Everything else is about in between that time.

Growth is pretty good especially since I only run my halides 5 hours per day.

Thanks. If you mean the lower RH side, thats a montipora capricornis - Color is orangish red/brown. Yes, it is a wierd growth pattern. Kinda just explodes open instead of the typical horizonal plate layers we're use to seeing.

The botton left corner is a stand of montipora digitata. I have 3 stands of digitata. Seems to grow prolifically - even along the back of the overflows. I use to carefully pick up all the pieces that would break off and glue them back onto the rock work. Anymore I just let them grow were the fall.

I thought this thread was dead, Guess I was wrong. I logged on today and Wow there are some serious tanks here. I am hesitant to post my pics here with all this growth
