why the puddle effect

[Trigger Man]

Here I wish my frags grew wide then vertical, instead of vertical. You can always get some frags from Snappy, 4 of the six I picked up didn't even start branching out till 1.5+ inch size. They are long and skinny. I was also told that by adding more calcium and alk the branches would grow more thin then stubby, and from what I have witnessed in my sps growth this has been true (went on vacation for 3 weeks in the summer so no calcium or alk was added and you can actually notice that part of the coral to be a little thicker then below and above the noted section).
