[ScottR]

This acan has been in my system for 3 months

Now, there are twice the new heads on the other side

Had these chalices three months
When I got them-

Nice growth!

Grown em’ and fragged them, shipped straight to @Magellan

Does this mean the nitrate to phosphate ratio?

Should have mentioned, that’s what the ceiling is. I try my best to keep it at 10x. Still working on my maintenance process.

@Hemmdog ~ We need to see your acan garden.

Still growing strong, some had to be removed from the rock.

Yeah, I manually remove and toss about 10 acan heads a day too... :p

This thread is cracking me up, but as far as the OPs question, fastest growing LPS?

Id say caluastera curvata or ducanopsammia axifuga, especially if you spot feed them often.

Are my eyes fooling me or did you rework your rockwork?

Lol yeah I did. Made more room for acros.

Cyphastrea sp. got to be my fastest growing LPS, that's egg create underneath so no hiding how far they have grown from their base.

 

[Jman76]

For me, I'd say Acans. Palys blew up too. Less than a year. A row of 6 new heads showing up underneath...17 total from 3

Aw thank you! I’m not 100% happy with my scape just yet. I have a few more large rocks cycling that I want to use as a base to raise everything up a bit , thanks though!
Nice growth!

Ha , ha , I knew this would start a debate @ Hemmdog. Chyphastrea has been debated before on this forum, In my opinion it should be considered an LPS. Its is in the family of Merulinidae along with Trachy's. But as LPS and SPS are just a phrases, I will not argue either way. :)
