Some growth pics

[GraffitiSpotCorals]

So I figured I would post some growth pics of a birdsnest I got last year. I got it as a frag with two branches just about one year ago from what I remember. I lost the shots of it growing in the first months but here are a few of recent. I think me keeping it in the center of the tank on its own rock has really let it grow out nicely.

12/26/11 I had to put it on a new rock and I cut some frags out of the center when I took it out. This pic is after I had the lights off for a few days so its kinda lost a little color...

That seems like insane growth! Great job.

 

Do you dose anything? If so, what do you dose?

Beautiful coral. What lighting too?

Nothing besides the Kalk and calcium reactors. Amanda has lots of Kent supplements or foods like croma, zoo, and phytoplex but she maybe uses them once a month. I put zeomag in the reactor too.

Three 250w 10k xms and 4 3' t5 blue plus. We had radiums on the old tank but I prefer the supplemented 10k look over the blue tank look.

Is that the orange with green tips birds nest from ORA? I get very fast, almost unmanageable, growth out of it. Very nice growth shots, always nice to see progress.

I dont know if it's Ora or not, probably not I got it at marine scene. I think its the same as the birds of paradise. I dont ever remember if what I have is Ora or not. But I do k ow by next year I will probably have no room left where this thing is.
