Show us the changes in your tank

[CyberGuy]

I was browsing through my old pictures and was surprise to see so many of my corals change in size/color, move to a different location, disappeared, or newly acquired.

So I thought it would be fun if we post some of our time elapse pictures of our tank. It would be cool to see the changes. Since we look at our tank often, we don't see much changes from day to day.

I would love to see the growth rate of your corals.

You can always go back to your post and edit it to include new pictures as the months go by.

If I bought some of your frags, you will also see them in these pictures.

Here are the changes to my tank.

[CruiseX]

Daryl I would have to say your tank has undergone the most dramatic changes I have seen

[CruiseX]

BTW that is a ridiculous FS in your third pic..where did it go

[dc_909]

Yeah, the first pic was taken a couple months after I got the tank and I was a poor college student working at Petco.

The next couple I was still poor, but was a little more into it.

Now, I have a little more extra money and I am into it full blown

[dc_909]

Notice the blasto that has been there since the beginning?

[dc_909]

The frog was fragged and sold to many on here. I still have a small piece.

[iVgOnMaD]

I believed he fragged it out since I have one of the frags :)

[CruiseX]

man that thing is massive - mine is doing better though now that is has been moved

[Chanas4]

Wow! What a diff in all of those.

[CyberGuy]

Peter, great growth. The green cap is amazing.

[CyberGuy]

DC_909,

Great corals growth/changes.

Would you be able to put a date stamp on it so that we can see the growth time frame.

Green milli:

Peter, is that a blue milli behind the green?

[SDguy]

It's a pink with blue tips.....not a huge fan since it has such MASSIVE PE though :(

[onad75]

I like furry acros, let me know if you frag those Ill buy it or trade.

[Nick_Kun]

yeah, millies can get too hairy sometimes and its hard to see the colored body.

If you run a nutrient deprived system, the polyps will essentially become transparent, and the skeletal color will show through. Obviously, with my 20 or so fish system, that won't be happening in my tank any time soon :rolleyes:

[jrlafrance]

I can't see the pics of dc_909's tank. :(

Your tank looks great Peter, I'll have to stop by some time to see it!

[SDguy]

Anytime :D

Be sure and take pics of your frags so you can post growth shots in 6 months too :)

[mazilla]

here is the progression of my tank. it started in october of 2006. the first pic is within three weeks of setup, i was still using the t-8's i had on my freshwater tank, my way smaller tanks. one light was 18" and the other 36". thinking back it makes me laugh. the last picture was taken this month.

[Nick_Kun]

yes sir, know that, but like you I love my fish too much.
