SPS Growth


It's only been 20 days, so it's not phenomenal, but I was pleasantly surprised to see growth so quickly:

Only 20 days? I'd say they're growing pretty quickly, Greg! Coloring up nicely too.

Say, what kind of lights are you running again?

Thanks Alice!

They are in a 150 gallon tank under nothing more than 560 watts of VHO.

Remember too that this is the tank with the 150W HO UV filter from hell! Do they look like they are suffering from over-sterile water conditions?

I assume you were being sarcastic, you know I hate those things.
