SSC progression

[M007]

Thanks for all the compliments guys! All pics were taken under 250w radiums in LBIII minis driven by a Lumatek variable watt ballast set at the 250 "hqi" mode.

What are your tank dimensions?

I think you have a build thread, don't you?
Before I ask all the standard questions about your system, maybe point me at it..
Thanks!

Info on the tank is in here somewhere...

amazing wish I had that type of growth in 3 months between pic#2 and #3

It seemed like a big jump and triple checked the dates just to be sure... I think it was like 9 weeks between shots IIRC.

+1,awesome job peter:thumbsup:
After having it for so long and grow it that big,can you please share some of her likes and dislikes?Flow,light etc?

Well, "she" got upset when the flow was a little more direct and actually started shedding some tissue on a few branches. When nitrates get too low I will see mesenterial filaments when feeding, which to me is a sign of stress. Colors are deeper under T5's in my frag tank. We haven't had a whole lot of issues together, so that's about all I can think of... :bounce2:

Are all of these pictures via underwater camera?

#4 and after are via a cheap $130 olympus...

What are your tank dimensions?

60"x24"x24" and lit by 3 pendants as described. There is a glass brace in the middle that blocks a lot of light.

Thanks again everyone for the kind words! I'll try to gather some growth progression for another coral soon.

In the hands of an expert SPS keeper, a tiny little frag turns into a beautiful colony. :beer: Awesome progression shots.

Do you play with the photos for white balance or anything?
The colors look very natural..

I usually do an autocorrect, which only seems to take some blue out. But I think I only started doing that with after the first 4 or 5 were taken. Pictures with orange usually need to be adjusted manually for some reason.
