Where is your chronicles thread, I'd like to see what kind of growth you are getting with your T5's.

Posting pics on RS

...just put the URL in the [.img]urlgoeshere[./img] brackets
(remove the "." period! I used them so they would display)

Or click the Picture Icon above the posting box (next to the font icons); it looks like an envelope with a mountain on it. Click on that icon then past the URL in there

yup, the first is a ORA rose millepora the second is Green Stylophora and the third, you are correct again, its a green montipora digitata. can not really tell because of my photo skills but my clams have done well also under the T5's. in fact i had to change up my bulbs and go with some not so intense ones. that and i let my reflector get kinda of humm "warn" so as to reduce the lighting. yup thats right reduce it. here are the clams i added at around the same time i got the frags. each set is the same clam, i am just hit and miss with good pic's and not so good ones.

prow · 03-08-2007, 11:45 AM

here is my other clam. top pic the current one. above the one on the right is the current one.

Warnberg · 03-08-2007, 11:46 AM

Well, just to let you know that is about the same growth rate I got under T5's, can only compair the green montipora digitata. However, I just got a Rose Milli (by the way I switched from all T5's to Halides) and I am curious to see the growth difference between the lights now.
One thing I did see a major difference in and that is my purple rim cap. Under the T5's it didn't cup, it grew out flat, now it's really cupping.
Thanks for sharing.
