Let's see it, bud. RP is one of my favorites. I got a frag from Mr Cob about a year and a half ago, and I love the way it looks in my tank.

With me it was placement. Too high and it gets real dark. Midway down in my tank and it's nice and red.

You know, when you started this thread, I really did not think there would be noticeable growth from one week to the next, but there SO is!!! Great job!

Dude, in a few months you will have enough pictures to make a short movie like they did with that nebula a few years ago.

lol Allan, nice growth Dylan. Red Planets are fun to watch grow...they encrust...then encrust some more and thennnnnnnnn a little more encrusting and one day when you're about to trade it out for a monti it starts sending little shoots out allover the place. Next, you become a trading fool then start a coral business...lol
