I've been tracking my green slimer growth each month since I got it. Here's the latest update:

Looks great. Your tank is very nice.

Thank you!

Very cool. The growth tips in the first pic were leaning right, and now the colony is filling in and growing left and into the light, like a weed and encrusting nicely on the base as well. Sweet!

November update?

Awesome! What type of light is it under, what intensity and distance from the light?

 

[DesertReefBoy]

Wow what is the secret? Would you mind sharing info on your setup.

 

[TexasTodd]

Great job and photos. I agree, updates needed! Nice white growth tips.
IMO the best Acro to start with.

 

[Fishnut]

Wow, even great color in the shaded areas. Share some of your secrets.

 

[DesertReefT4r]

Nice keep it up.

Wow, thanks everyone for the ongoing interest in this. Sorry for the delay, but here's the November update. This month's photo had to be larger due to the growth, so I might need to come up with a different layout to show the side by side comparison.



And here's a macro shot showing the polyp detail:


To answer some of your questions, this coral is about 6" below the water surface and directly under a Radion XR30 Pro. It gets about 400 PAR for 8 hours using the AB+ spectrum. I dose BRS 2-part with my Neptune DOS, and I feed Reef Roids once per week. Here are my water parameters:

• Temp = 78 F
• Salinity = 1.026, using Red Sea Coral Pro salt
• Alkalinity = 8.3 dKH
• Calcium = 420 ppm
• Magnesium = 1350 ppm
• Nitrate = 2 ppm
• Phospate = 0.06 ppm

If you want more info on my setup, I have a pretty detailed write-up in my Reefer XL 425 build thread.

That looks good I wasn't able to get mine to grow out. I may give it another try to see if I can get one to grow in my tank.

So, Duck, or Beaver?

Dat673, play and tweak until you're successful; then you're ready for more. ;)

Ha! Duck fan, though I'm originally from Michigan so also a Wolverine fan.

Thanks for sharing! I wish there were more threads like this, really neat to see.
