Reef Ready grape juice. The grape juice might be one of the fastest growers I have.

The colony seems to grow more outward than upward, as the back of my colony gets some nice growth tips

Where do you keep it Bubba? High light? Flow? Mine took a hit when I rescued some corals for a buddy but is slowly coming back.

It is getting 400 par and I'd say medium flow. It does get a rush of high flow every couple minutes though as my gyres collide when they are switching directions.

Thank you sir! He's suffering under 150-200 par. I'll move him up!
I do notice when I cut frags and put the frags on the side of the tank, they turn dark green. I didn't know if it was from the lower par of 200 or because they were cut.

Hmm, mine is slightly green in the lower par but not dark green. Maybe just from being cut?

WWC and TSA are close to me so there is always a reason to visit, lol. If you ever come this way you can stop by.

Might be the best OP I have ever seen.
Are you in Orlando area or Tampa Bay area?
Thanks! That pic is with two t5's and two sb reef bars. When all bulbs are on the polyps are not as orange. I love how it looks in that lighting so I wanted to share.

I am in East Orlando, next to the University of Central Florida.

I'm headed to WWC next week you interested in fragged that SCOP?
Not right now :(. If you see the branch in the far back upper right, I cut that branch off 6 weeks ago to have another one grow out in my frag tank to sell some occasional frags but for some reason the frag in my frag tank has done absolutely nothing while the main "colony" has almost regrown. I am trying to get my display grown out without chopping anymore frags so one day I can share a FTS, lol.

Ya I understand that, ive been wanting to add a OP for a long time. Im going to pickup a king fiji. Hope its worth the hype
I had to google the King Fiji. It does look nice but I couldn't find many pics. You should also check out the Forge Master while you are there as from pics it looks similar.
