I have some ORA corals coming soon and would love to see some big colonies and what you have them under.

love the tabling action your getting on this! i want mine to grow like that? how high up is it placed and what kind of lighting do you run? awesome!

Right at lower 1/3 of tank, running 3 x 250 watt 20k radiums and 4 t5 80 watt ati's on a geismann fixture (old school). Nothing is blocking out the light even though it is kind of low in the tank. Also top down photo's always highlight colors but it is pretty nonetheless.
 
Wow, how long have you all been growing your colonies?

I have had mine for a few years now. Some grow much faster than others. The Pearlberry and Hawkins grow extremely fast while the Borealis and purple plasma hardly grow at all. The Plum crazy is right in the middle growth wise.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine
