Hello all

My GSP colony has been thriving for about 4-5 years went from a small frag and took over this rock pictured below. It’s been moved from a nano tank to a 65g where it’s been for a little over a year and since then it’s just staying the same. Currently the color is bright and thegreen fingers are long. But it’s no longer encrusting and taking over everything. It’s actually starting to not stick to the rock. It doesn’t get blown by powerheads hard.
current parameters are
Alk 8.6 (just upped this from 7.6 this week)
Cal 480
MG 1400ish
Salinity is .025
Temp is always between 77-78

bottom image was it in the nano
