wow. nice that's good growth for only a few months. I am certain that by the end of this one we are going to have some decent sized colones to admire.

More encrusting. Starting to see some small nubs that look like they want to branch out. I expect it to continue encrusting this coming month and hopefully in April I begin to see some good branching growth
initial photo of my booger
Feb entry. Lots of new nubs ready to branch out. Also, the millie behind it has been in my tank for a year and 4 months. I think it's finally starting to show some signs of takeoff with the little sprouts to the right

February Entry:
I did something wrong this month and I'm not getting the PE like before. I speculating it's because of the bad phytoplankton from a delayed shipment. I skipped a few days without feeding phytoplankton as I was out, then dosed the bad phyto for a few days before I received my reorder.
Since then I've seen the polyps retracted for all my SPS except montipora and LPS. I did a large water change about 4 days ago. Haven't had the chance to do parameter checks but didn't want to jump to solution-ing and let the tank do it's thing instead.
Aside from that there's been great growth vertically, or start of it. Encrusting has slowed, more color intensity, and it's grown 4x new sprouts plus the original stick is growing vertical.
I also put a makeshift single-person-measurement tool together with skewers, glue, and baking soda.i hope this will give me consistent measurements as the piece begins to grow more.

Ha! That is awesome. I’m stumped what’s the baking soda for?
I saw it on a YouTube video once. It helps cure it faster by allowing to glue to bind to it. Kind of like the dust you get from dry rock. Otherwise I'd be waiting a long time for it to cure.
ahh cool. I had no idea! learned something new today
. what kind of glue?
I think you should start measuring from the bottom of the encrusting. Growth is growth

Here is my entry for the month. Still encrusting and no other growth. Also not getting the colors like everyone else is but im happy with it so far. Still doing good. Good PE.

Sorry for the horrible photo this time... Didn't see how blurry it was until I had put the coral back in its spot, so this is what we're left with:
Picture doesn't show color well, but looks amazing day and night!

February Entry! I would have absolutely moved this by now if I had higher light spot to give it. The new 300 gallon is just a couple weeks out from shipping!

Definitely not winning, but not dead. Been struggling with low PH recently. Never been an issue before, but has been hovering around 7.7-7.9. Only time it's above 8,is after a water change.
Some of my acros don't seem to care much. Unfortunately, RDOR has browned out and basically gone dormant.

This may be my last photo from this tank, closing on my first home tomorrow, so of course big upgrade comes with that!
