steveoutlaw February 9, 2013 February 9, 2013 That's the fastest growing Purple Monster I've ever seen. Hope it keeps up for you!!
bbyatv November 12, 2013 Author November 12, 2013 Here is the latest picture of my Purple Monster 11/11/2013. Bruce
YHSublime November 12, 2013 November 12, 2013 Nice growth! I love seeing this! Hey, how about a FTS now that you've redone your tank, glad you got rid of all those pesky shrooms. I got rid of all my mushrooms when I moved over to my 150, solely based on your experience!
bbyatv November 12, 2013 Author November 12, 2013 I have a FTS following the tank break down on 11/5/2013 at my build thread here: http://wamas.org/forums/topic/46635-bruces-bbyatv-new-150/?hl=bbyatv Bruce Nice growth!

bbyatv June 25, 2014 Author June 25, 2014 Here is the most recent pic of the PM (upper most coral on the left) on 6/23/2014. I have now sold 3 frags since I purchased it from Copps on 9/22/2012.
bbyatv June 25, 2014 Author June 25, 2014 I don't know about your growth, but your tank sure looks nice. Very impressed. You would be disappointed in my SPS growth
Jason Rhoads June 25, 2014 June 25, 2014 Looking good! Is the losing some of its color? Between the 11/2013 shot and now, it looks less purple.
bbyatv June 25, 2014 Author June 25, 2014 Depends on the angle you are viewing it from. Also, it is under much brighter light now than it was then. It has lightened up a bit but still growing strong. Bruce Looking good! Is the losing some of its color? Between the 11/2013 shot and now, it looks less purple.
sen5241b June 25, 2014 June 25, 2014 Looks great. How much light and how high is it over your purple monster?
bbyatv June 25, 2014 Author June 25, 2014 Please see a post towards the bottom of the following thread about my lighting: http://wamas.org/forums/topic/46635-bruces-bbyatv-new-150/page-2 The PM is almost directly under a light at about 14" of water. If might be offset from the center of the bulb by say 6". Bruce Looks great. How much light and how high is it over your purple monster?
bbyatv November 3, 2014 Author November 3, 2014 Thanks. So far I have only sold 4 frags. I am very selective on selling this coral. Bruce Nice! Break me off a piece of that!!
matt November 3, 2014 November 3, 2014 Thanks. So far I have only sold 4 frags. I am very selective on selling this coral. Bruce Haha, no worries...I understand. I'd let it grow and frag sparingly too. That said, if you have a piece that needs to be trimmed away...then it is on my list of corals to go into my new tank. :-)
DuffyGeos November 3, 2014 November 3, 2014 Those are gorgeous! Let me wipe the drool off my keyboard! I just have a big empty tank of water...so sad :laugh:
ChrisTran November 4, 2014 November 4, 2014 Very nice colony Bruce, I also have the original PM, but my colony is dense and thick. Do you think flow plays a role in formation of a colony?
ezeke1 November 4, 2014 November 4, 2014 Fantastic looking colony Bruce! Yours is easily one of the biggest PMs that i've seen. David
bbyatv November 4, 2014 Author November 4, 2014 Chris, Not sure. I have two power heads mounted on devices in the corners of the tank that make them rotate/sweep back and forth. My colony is in an area where a power head sweeps across it about every 10 seconds or so. They are not crazy strong power heads. So I would say it gets medium flow every 10 seconds and then light flow when the power head is pointed away from the colony. How much flow is yours getting? Do you have a picture? Bruce Very nice colony Bruce, I also have the original PM, but my colony is dense and thick. Do you think flow plays a role in formation of a colony?
bbyatv November 4, 2014 Author November 4, 2014 Thanks for all the nice feedback. This Purple Monster is my pride and joy of the tank. Bruce Those are gorgeous! Let me wipe the drool off my keyboard! I just have a big empty tank of water...so sad :laugh: Nice, it has really grown into an awesome colony. Very nice colony Bruce, I also have the original PM, but my colony is dense and thick.
