wish me luck!!
 
yea. went in planning on buying 2 left with five LOL. i would have kept going but i think ive run out of room for now :P

my tanks been up for 11 months. all lps and fish have been growing, all params steady and good. tank seemed ready... phosphate has always been <.01-.03 usually barely detectable.

super healthy corals!!
 
its a acropora hyacinthus

its mounted on a frag plug so it looks a little weird. it encrusts first then branches from the leading edges apparently, it is also tabling. it just looks like a encrusting monti right now but its already starting to form small branches along the edges...
 
what do you have for flow? any controllable pumps?

pulsing/ broad/ changing flow patterns will assure good health and fast growth. controllable/ switching pumps are one of the most valuable pieces of equipment for anyone interested in keeping SPS, esp acroporas.
 
ive got an MP10 on reefcrest mode. my tank is a 34g cube so it reaches the whole tank. the hyacinthis (far right) needs the most flow, all of its polyps are out and look fully extended so i think its good. the guy i got it from had it almost directly in front of a powerhead. i tried to position it similar in my system.
