Growth Rate Time Lapse Thread

[xiaoxiy]

Hey fellow acroheads.

I thought I'd start a thread to document my acropora growth over the next 12 months. I plan on doing weekly acro growth shots and stitching them into a time lapse gif. I will update this thread every Sunday with new growth time lapses!

We're about 5 weeks into 2021, and here's the growth so far:

The hardest part about this is lining up the camera every week so that the pictures come out the same. :p

If/when I do this, I’m gonna make an outline like in expo/sharpie and just put it there and take the shot

That’s awesome!!! I’m extremely jealous! Do you have any tips/tricks for your sps?

 

[ID-Reefer]

Awesome! Would be fun to see a year long time lapse. Keep it up

 

[JayLu]

What a great idea. This is fun to watch!

That's a big brain strategy...

I unfortunately don't. I think the key is just stability. I don't do anything special besides feed EasySPS and EasyBooster. I can't even be sure what role those play.

I run my parameters at the following:
Salinity: 1.024
Alkalinity: 7.0-7.5
Calcium and Magnesium: Unknown. I don't test
NO3: Near 0 on API test kit
PO4: 0.03-0.08

That's awesome. Looks like your stuff is growing at a really good clip! Thought about mounting my GoPro to the side of the tank and doing some time lapse as well. After seeing that, I might have to!

If you play the Animations BACKWARDS, that's My SPS Growth Rate. LOL

 

[xiaoxiy]

Tomorrow's gonna be a really busy day, so I took the growth photos 1 day early this time.





I'm not sure why the embeded gif looks so poor in quality this time. Anyone have any ideas?

They're under 2x Reefi Duo Extremes mounted on Ecotech mounts. Par sits between 250-350.
