Very nice growth you have. What kind of lighting & light cycles are you using?

Yeah it died on me when I had that mishap with my tank and lost a bunch of stuff

That was when I had the 29 gal...

It was doing really good too and was bright green...

Next time you get ready to frag some more for sale let me know, I was hoping you would do it again this year for the swap.

I was too lazy to bring anything....lol I've got a bunch of green caps though...Matter of fact I broke a bunch tonight doing major cleaning by removing all my rocks out and give them a good swoosh in the bucket to wash out all detritus....nothing ever goes back the same way and I broke a bunch... Changed out new light bulbs.... So my corals are really ticked right now slimes everywhere... Give them a few weeks for recovery then I'll get you a piece.... They grow really fast!!!!

lol maybe you should try to do what I saw one of the Tank of the Month people do and glue a green and orange cap beside each other and let them grow like that... It looked really cool cause it almost looked like one whole piece.


Sweet

Thanks Mikey :thumbsup:

I remembered to look for the link to the TOTM where the guy glued 2 different colored caps beside each other and got awesome results.
