I love the progress pics! It’s crazy to think all of those big colonies grew that much, in only 3 years!
Thanks! It really is amazing. It is always hard to see the growth till you look back in time.

So true!

This is my forest fire digi less than a month ago:

Since you have experience with sticks, what do you suggest I do to get the color back in my digi?

My tank had a mini crash a while ago from the lights being cranked up to 100% on both channels. The skeleton has grown as you can clearly see, but the color is gone.

Thanks in advance!

That's some good growth. Color has a lot to do with the light spectrum you are using as well as the intensity. Happen to know your par? Also, Nutrients and Aminos/additives can help as well. Patience is key. A crash is hard on everything. Time is your friend here.

Sadly, I do not know my par. :/

I don’t dose anything either, because I only have 3 SPS. I do have this Seachem Reef Fuel, but I’m not sure if this is good or not?

You’re right it will probably just take time for it to regain its color.

But I was surprised looking back and seeing how much it had actually grown in that short of time. (Especially considering I don’t dose anything)

Hey Daniel! She is still cranking along. I am dealing with an Aptasia outbreak as I have never experienced. That and life have really gotten in the way of contributing here. I'm working through it now but the Aptasia has me a bit defeated. I will post up a photo later when the lights are on.

Add a BLUEHEAD not yellow kleini butterfly. They will eat every single one like candy and not bother coral. The yellow version will.
Bluehead also friendly, colorful, eats all dry and frozen food and stays fairly small
