From frag to colony?

Seeding my tank with little 1-2" frags and it got me dreaming of what it could become.

 

So wanted to see rags to riches....

 

What coral have you acquired and turned into a large colony?

1-2 years for the ones above. They start slow and then explode with growth; then you wish they grew slower like in the beginning because they're a pain to keep trimmed down. The unknown acro was 13" across when I cut it way back (kept about 1/3rd of it).

There's been trimming along the way to keep everything from growing into each other, think bonsai.

Looks amazing!

I know you switched up lighting along the way. What are you currently using?

Went from a 36” 4 bulb ATI to a custom built by AlanM from his old tank. 36” with 84 3watt LED clusters.

Here is a few pics.

note the small acro frag at the top left in the first pic and the 1 head of the orange yuma.

3 years later, the acro is over 12"X12" and the yuma has over 20 heads.  It is the brightest thing in my tank. Its stunning
