Looks like some crazy growth happening
Yes defenitely. The tank change its looks many times in a couple of months. I have to tear down some monti Cap on the front because its shadowing some of the zoas bellow and also half of the zoas was also removed. I kept some of the digitatas and replace it with some acro frags that i have been growing on my other tank

I guess I'm just lucky that I hit the sweet spot for them to grow fast.
Yeah that’s awesome. I’ve been trying to make sure I keep solid parameters, amazing lighting, and good feeding technics. I’ve tested my lights with a or meter to make sure everything gets the right lighting and I have a ton of flow in the right places. I think I’ll do good in time. We will see in 6 months.
