I finally figured out what the Pipe Organ needs to see real growth ... Magnesium and magnesium and more magnesium.

I tried ReefMag in my reactor. Yikes that didn't work, because it won't melt even at saturation. So I have been using Magnesium Carbonate in my top off. That seems to do the trick, but OMG I still can't get my free Mag up. I am also going to switch over my trace that I am currently using, Calcium Nitrate, to Magnesium Nitrate when I get my Calcium where I want it. We'll see if I can actually move up the Magnesium with that.

Just wanted to throw that out there.

To all of the grammar police, yes I know that Pipe Organ are not really SPS.

This is the original colony, to it's left is a small frag that fell off and my wife just stuck it in a crevice in the rock.

This is a small frag that I made because I wanted to get it going elsewhere. I am definitely reconsidering that decision.

All of these started as a few polyps except the main colony. You can also see the single poly on the first pic. I am sure soon enough this will multiple, just like the others.
