Some Frag Updates
 

Here are a couple of the frags I got from Coral master awhile ago. They have been through alot with my tank as I am new to SPS so still learning. Here are some I could get good pictures of, I got a crappy camera.

Nice growth, how long have you had them?

looks like your making progress!!good stuff!!!

Great growth and colours, well done. Sweet looking stuff if I do say so myself.:biggrin:
The rainbow stylo is the fastest growing stylophora species of any I've experienced. Give it some room because it looks like it's ready to take off.
Thanks for the post and sharing the pix.

Yea the Rainbow happens to be one of the few sps that enjoys the spot its in, I have had to move some frags around as I figure out what likes where, but it is just booming. I would have posted more pictures of others that are looking good but a couple months ago I had a crash and almost lost my tank. Along with my never ending battle with watermelon mushrooms. But since the crash everything is booming, I am really happy with the Selago it is my favorite. And to fix those damn mushrooms since I cant cut them up or they will float around stinging stuff, I am using 2 part epoxy to make a blanket and cover them! It might not be the best way but the mushrooms are a plague.

Glad to hear everything is ok now. They look great and one would never know they had recently been in a high stress environment. This a real testiment to the value of buying true aquacultured frags over the cheaper "chop-shop" frags on the market these days. True aquacultured frags are much more resilient and have a much better chance of survival when things go wrong. :biggrin: And yep that a.selago looks awesome!:wink:
Good luck with your mushroom control methods, I hope it works for you.

Thanks again.

I agree with this statement completely. Some of the $10 frags floating around are pretty chop shop.

Hey Greg here are some updates of my favorites. Within the last month I started working at J&L fish store so I have learned so many more things I was doing wrong. And after fixing my dKH (was 3!) calcium (500!) and mag (1750) all to the right parameters I'm now getting the massive growth and color coming out that I have been waitin for. I was getting next to no growth for almost a year till I fixed that dKH and it was what the corals were waiting for. The first picture is an example of the change within the last month and a half. All pictures after the first are just 14k

Hehe the Highlighter mili I got as a shred of skin from my friend right before his tank crashed. So since then its grown a ton and I'm liking the sweet color it has. I will be ordering again soon when I upgrade my tank :D

Wow you stuff is looking good. I recently bought some stuff from Greg too and was very impressed with his set up and the effort he puts into ensuring his product is nothing short of excellent.

I owuld have never known you were just learning as you have some very respectable color going on there! Having a low alkalinity to boot! Lookin good! :)
