Yea, the branches are about the same thickness as mine...

Your tank looks pretty clean! What are you running to reduce phosphate?

thanks that was my old tank

I use Zeovit in all my tanks.

if not going Zeo, you can use GFO, and make a few bigger WC's and the PO4 shouold drop. The Hanna ULR is the only way to fly

best would be to host it somewhere like on photobucket.com you can make a free account.

then get the html link from there and post it on here. it will show up

One desires to insert the IMG code snippet from photobucket into one's posting to cause the picture to show, not the HTML code snippet.

Here is the relevant text from RC's "How to post a photo" thread :

make sure you click on the "IMG" button and not the "http" button.

Id double check before trying to "correct" someone lol

I feed my fish, the corals use the dissolved organics, and basically fish poop.

how are the colors of the corals ? any pics ?

po4 limits calcification, IME, lower calcification, thinner branches.

flow same thing .... too much flow, thicker branches, and more bushy the coral would grow.

This is true, its just like plants in the wind. The stalks get thicker to support in the wind. Plus sps needs flow to stay clean.

+1 Increase your flow and you'll start seeing thicker branches. It made a huge difference for me when I upgraded to MP40s a couple years ago in my 90G.

I was just pointing out that your suggestion was specifically not recommended on the "how to" page for image posting endorsed by RC admins. Sorry if I offended.
