Floating these is not a good way to get growth. Typical reef tanks dont have the amount of required nutrients in the water to support good growth. You need a substrate that the roots can pull needed nutrients from. We have a 6' tall one at the lfs wish it'd been pruned properly but it has multiple branches. It is and was grown in substrate. Maybe since I'll be in the area today I'll get a pic.
Welcome to the swamp.

Hope you don't mind. This is the one at the lfs. I want to say it's been there for about 5 years now. It's grown a couple feet in that time.

Yeah They got it from a tank break down I think, while I was still working part time. Its grown a lot since then. I forget to check on it when I'm there sometimes. Its pretty cool.
