Does anyone else have a rommels watermelon colony? I've been growing mine for some time now, I just wanted to know the growth pattern on other grown out colonies.

Mine it tabling out, almost completely flat on top.

I will hopefully get a pic later.

Man you are getting tabling growth? Consider yourself lucky! I know its supposed to table but all it ever did in my friends tank was encrust forever. It was painful to watch really. Never did it throw and branching up or anything. Would love to see a picture of yours.

Here is the original frag. May 2009.

Mine looks amazing color wise but after over a year it's still less than an inch:cry:.

One day.

Top down from December 2010. I'll get a front shot soon so you can see the tabling better.

Very nice man. How long have you had yours? Mine looks like the first pic. Almost exactly.
