Happiness is, growth in your tank

[G Santana]

I love it when you check back on old photos and you realize that you have at least helped in the growth of corals.

One of my favorites is my Mummy eye chalice, I got this 8 months ago and it was a speck on a plug, it had 3 eyes and it was bright green. Today it has somewhere close to 16 eyes, has overgrown the plug it's on and it is a greedy feeder. Love it!!!

The other one that has taken off is my seasons greetings monti. At first I thought it would die as it really browned out but it came storming back.
I had gotten a skull in an order by accident and I decided a couple of months ago to stick it on and it has thrived and started to cover the skull. In both second shots you can't even see the original plug anymore. Pretty cool.

I love taking growth pics! It's probably what encourages me the most. It's hard to see growth when you're looking in your tank daily, and you can get depressed. But if you take regular pics, and compare them side-by-side, you can easily see the growth.
Nice job!

Thanks, this is so true. I snap a few pics a month and after a few months I compare. It really is exciting and like you said, what keeps me going.

Nice progress. Hard to see it looking at the tank everyday. Pics validate that we are doing something right. Not always exactly sure what that something is, but makes up for the setbacks.

I couldn’t agree more. These are two of earliest added corals to my tank about a year for each. The chalice has been steadily growing and is now roughly the size of a saucer. The sympodium maintained its size for about 6 months but then has exploded in growth recently. I know these are not considered difficult corals but as a new reefer they hopefully show that I eventually got everything dialed in.
