This colony is at least 12" back from the front glass so to size it, most of the branches are 10" long now.

Very nice, what are your tank parameters and setup (light and flow)?

I would venture to say that's the largest captive Red Dragon out there. And if it isn't, it's really close. Nice Chris!

Very nice. Just got a colony today. I hear it is a fast grower. I love seeing progression shots.

Not sure about a secret but tank stability and my colony is getting ~450 par under 20k's with what I consider medium flow.
