Wow.
Wish I had that kind of growth in a year's time.
Looks wonderful.

What happened to your cap?
It disappeared for '09?

Some of your colonies are bigger than all of my sps combined....lol

Hehe it sometimes seems that I've had real success in growth only over the last year or so but all of those acros were grown from tiny 1" sticks. Its just in the last year that you can actually see them without having to use a macro lens

The caps had an infestation of monti eating nudibranches mid 2008. I took all of them out and treated them with potassium permanganate (works like a hot damn!) but then couldn't manage to get them remounted so I ended up just putting some frags of them in. You can sorta see the purple cap off to the left under the wavebox, theres pieces of the tan cap, well everywhere (largest under the brown stag on the right) and the yellow cap...damn, I think its fallen again. I'll have to figure out how to mount it on the overflow or something.

The tank looks great Christy.

The growth and colour is fantastic. After a few years our tanks seem to mature and growth seems to happen in spite of whatever we do.

I think your going to need a much bigger tank soon.
