Growth!!!

**Poseidon** · 03-10-2004, 10:49 AM

Well here is my Milliopora the day I bought it. 12-16-2003

Here it is today. 03-10-2004

Pretty cool huh?

***zhenya*** · 03-10-2004, 08:58 PM

Very cool,Mike

Milleporas can sure grow rapidly,if you attach it to a rock somewhere with ambient light and flow and let it encrust...look out

**Poseidon** · 03-10-2004, 09:34 PM

Thanks Gene!!

I still have it on the bottom, just cause it seemed so happy down there.... I am planning on moving it up next to my other SPS that I have in the middle of my tank right now. Eventually I'm going to thin my Softies WAY BACK to make room for more SPS! Geez I finally got the stoney bug!!!

**kevinpo** · 03-11-2004, 10:26 AM

Nice Mike,
I think if you move it up you will experience even faster growth and better coloration. They also like high flow. Most of my A. millepora grow about 1-1.5" a month. They really like the light. Be sure to post some more pictures after you move it. I think it's going to be a beauty.

Regards,
Kevin

**Poseidon** · 03-11-2004, 12:57 PM

I guess I'll do that tonight then when I get home... Can't wait to see 1" of growth in a month.. That sounds SUPER COOL. I'll also post a pic of my Red Cap... It has grown about 1/4-3/8" all around the perimeter!!!

**scubadude** · 06-29-2004, 10:36 PM

Very Nice Mike!

Man that millie is taking off....beautiful progression pics

SueT · 06-30-2004, 10:25 AM

Awesome Mike, I love it when these corals show such growth for us. I am 6 weeks into restocking my 120g and I am having some of the best growth I've EVER had before. My 120g is a kalk. drip only and the frags I have now are incredibly healthy like yours.

I'm expecting some frags from kevinpo next week. Now thats going to be awesome. =) I am getting several of his millepora's. This species of acropora has got to be my fav.

Keep on a growin' em Mike.
