This is one of the corals that I cut the tips in the center and you can see how the growth has taken off in the middle area.
 
John,

In the past I feed the tank Cyclop-eeze Granules (the fish really like it too) once a week and Oyster eggs once a week but holding off with that now since I started feeding Pappone along with Amino Acids once a week. I am hoping that this improves the colors of the corals.

I also notice that most of the growth stared when I added a Ca Reactor last Aug. I'm also using XM 10K 250W MH?s that are known to promote growth. I dose EVS Mg once a week to keep the Mg at 1350. There are some many variables that control & affect the growth and color of the corals that I feel like most people that it is very important to keep everything as stable as possible and the nutrients low.
