Thanks for your kind remarks. A big part of the recovery is due to a friend of mine kicking me in the butt to get back in the game and he has generously helped me with doing water changes, etc.(Thanks Al)

I think the largest i've ever grown an acro is about 10" and that's probably a stretch......... i'm always in awe of you guys who can hang in there and grow such large mature looking colonies.
Thanks Andrew, yes there is something about big corals that is eye catching.

Thanks I guess that picture is on the colorful side. I am hoping I can keep that acro as colorful when those branches grow into 10" tall stalks. Hopefully it will take off upward soon.

Some tanks are so darn pretty. You always manage a rainbow of colors, incredible variety, remarkable growth. And those pictures, over and over demonstrating such beauty. I am inspired by tanks such as yours and have been for years. What a joy to follow your thread

I missed the update Greg, so nice to see you posting pics again. I'd say the GoPro takes fine pictures!
