@therman always appreciate your top quality and hard to source sps and your professional service. I’m def hitting u up for a few choice corals. Too bad a good friend no longer keeps frogs. Many skills.
Need few more smoothies.

Hey @therman ... Just coming back to this awesome thread.

Something that really astonishes me in particular is the 8-9 month, then one year growth on your RRC Jawdropper. I'm just really blown away. Do you have any thoughts on how you're achieving that type of growth? I have only gotten comparable growth rates with my Miyagi tort / green stag. Maybe my Bill Murray, but just kidding no way.

All my granulosas / smoothskins are doing great with nice coloration, but man they are just so slowly encrusting. POTO Flamethrower, Like 5 other POTO smoothies, JF Fox Flame, BC Honeycomb, JF Neophobia, RR Avenger, RR Bleeding avenger, RMF gecko... I could go on. But they are all SO slow growing! On many of these, I have barely gotten a quarter inch of encrustment on the plug after like 9 months! Lol!

Getting approx 400 PAR, 4x radion blue g6 running full spectrum supplemented by 2x 60" AI blades. Kalk dosing, running vertex omega 150 skimmer. MP40''s all over providing gyre/pulse/reef crest flows. Doing reef moonshiners trace supplementation. Virtually no other supplements added!

If you don't have any suspicions or thoughts, I totally get it. This hobby can simply be puzzling and humbling at times.
