My tank update as of today

Thanks for taking a look.







The green Mille in the last pic is really starting to take off. I wish the rest of the corals would do the same. Below is a comparison pic from about two months ago of the Mille.



Thanks for looking.

Thanks Kar93.

My best guess is somewhere around 9 inches long.

looks awesome. What are you using for flow? Are you using anything other than the maxi mods. Did you get those SPS's as frags

Thanks, good eye on the urchin. I didn't even notice he made the pic.

I really like having an urchin in the tank. Great grazers but troublesome bulldozers at times.

For flow I have one Maxi mod (sureflow 1600 kit), 2 Seio 1100's and a Mag 9.5 return pump through a seaswirl that no longer swirls I would like to replace the 2 Sieo's with 2 more Sureflow Maxi mod kits. The Seio's are tough to restart when turned off or short power surges etc.

All of the SPS in the tank were started as frags except the unidentified branching coral to the left of the green Mille. That one was quite a bit smaller than it is now but was a small colony to start with. It is starting to get some color and was all brown at purchase. A bit more blue is coming out as time passes. I have my fingers crossed.

How long did it take for that growth? Do you have any pictures of them as frags. What are you feeding? I am just curious due to the fact I have a few frags and wondering the time frame to start seeing growth.
