So far....

Mine grew pretty quick the first 6 months and then just stopped. It’s growing again now but not as fast as others. Good luck

Do you have RMF Lucky Charms as well? How do they compare?

I purchased a big frag from BKChem in early 2019 which did great and really grew well until I killed it with a phosphate spike last December. However it was indistinguishable from the Lucky Charms growing next to it. Maybe same mariculture piece with two names? Luckily (ha!) Lucky Charms powered through the phosphate issue and is going strong. I'd had it for many years longer.

I’ve never had the lucky charms so I can’t say one way or the other. How high was your po4 spike?

0.33 ppm, maybe higher :oops:

Hmmm
Mine have been that high but you know what “they” say....Every tank is different

I normally run around 0.15 ppm. The only casualties were about a dozen really expensive tenuis and speciosa :(

That sucks. Thankfully my Tenuis have never been bothered by po4 that high

How’s it looking now? Mine is pretty slow as well.

Kudos for this thread Chas! I was about to pull the lever on this piece from Mythical. As beautiful as it is, I don’t need another JF Jolt in my system lol

Jolt is a great grower

The progression on my Jolt is nearly identical to Chas’s MG progression here

Thats a bummer. Mine grows like a weed. Most of jf tenius grow pretty well ime. A few other reefer friends I know ha w good growth with jolt specifically. I know everyone has that one piece that is a stickler though..
