Which way do you think this will table out?

Red Planet is doing very well; I had placed it with hopes it would table out to the right, looks like it's not cooperating. Is there a chance now that is "sees" the Sunset Milli next door it will change its mind and table away from the Milli to the right?

I voted for the towards the milli option. Seems like, IME at least, somehow corals know which way you don't want them to go, and then proceed to grow rapidly in that direction...

Looks like there is more light towards the milli so my vote is that direction.

+1 for this...

As a packer fan I hope that your (Arizona's) Ricky Elmore is the real deal man. We have high hopes around here.

Ed what bulbs are you using for MH?

Two 250w 20k XMs, with four 55w T5 pure actinics.

lol agreed... but as someone else mentioned, if there is more light in that direction, then most likely it will go that way...

fortunately sps seems to be for the most part "neighbor friendly" as in they mind their own space when they get too close to one another and jus grow around or close to, but not into, without damaging each other like alot of lps or even some softies will do...

Pallobi,

You are right; at least they seem to be "neighbor friendly" at this point. I have been contemplating on putting a third 250w MH in the center (standard 120gal AG RR tank) but with the brace I fear it may cause a shadow. Maybe that will sway the RPT back to the middle?

I had a pink and green mille do almost the exact same thing. If you divided them with the bar, the green might turn back, and the pink might be more encouraged to grow the other way.
