Megabite's 180 Reef - Round 2

MegabiteOG · Thursday at 1:59 PM

Thursday AD update.

I re-positioned the rock the AD sits on so the orientation is a little difference. No red arrows this week Chris due to that. Coral is doing well and part of the issue with the base was some aiptasia I discovered and killed.

Start to today

4 week span

1 week span

Regardless of position, that's a lot of growth and color for 6 months! Actually, technically, 5.5 months. While I follow the grow-out thread, I haven't really paid a lot of attention to it recently. Are you still the frontrunner in the competition?

I’m up there but there are 2 or 3 other very nice ones including Zack’s - @Red_Beard.

Everyone looks happy tonight. Vid from my 24/7 reef cam.

Kind of a sad day as the Bird's nest has outgrown the tank. Removed and kept a couple of frags. Being that I have Dinos, I didn't want to give to another reefer or LFS and cause them issues.

This sucker was about a 12" ball.

About the same size of the one I threw away a month or so ago.

Relative to most other sps, these grow super fast so we will be doing it again in under a year. It’s tough to get rid of good looking healthy coral, though.

Birdsnest have always been one of my favorite. It is surprisingly hard to find around here though. I would love to get a chunk of regular green, pink, and paradise!
