Thanks! It's funny looking at the tank everyday, I had never noticed how much it's grown in only a month.

That's incredible growth for a short period of time. What's your secret?

Thanks Biff!! I don't know if I should really give away my trade secrets but .... It has to be my absolute lack of knowledge about proper coral care lol. But really, I probably do over feed the corals, I'll feed a variety of marine snow, coral frenzy, and Kent PhytoMax 2-3 times a week. Once a week ill also mix some frozen rotifers or cyclops in with the fishes mysis, so the corals get fed a little then too. And with my weekly water changes I've been able to keep my nitrates at 0 so far. Hopefully they'll all keep growing at the same rate they have been.

Thanks Josh! Like I said, the only reason I'm noticing it now is because I'm constantly taking pics of them. Otherwise I'd be thinking that they're taking forever to grow too.

That sounds like a winning strategy right there :Cheers:

I wish I had the time and dedication to consistently feed my corals... they are lucky if they get fed once every week or two now >_<! And the dang fish don't make it easy, they are so bold they will steal food from anything whether it be a mushroom or Torch/Frogspawn. Even after they just ate a bunch! :frustrat:

It's not too bad, I usually wake for work around 4am and I'll always look around the tank while I'm eating breakfast, so I just feed them then when all their feeders are out.

Very NICE!

Thanks Dana!
