They can get as big as allowed, but usually they will become top-heavy and fall over at some point.

Phishy Business, over in Columbus, has a couple that are jumbo-pizza sized in their display tank. 

I almost wonder if I'm doing something wrong with mine.  Even compared to one of my acros that grows maybe millimeters a month, this thing seems slow.

heres mine. Its getting to the point it wont stand up anymore i dont think it will fall over. I think it will just stay low and open up across the sand.

Bin
  They can get real big.  when I had my tank set up back in the early 90s I had one that had grown to at least a foot and half across with a base trunk a good 10 inches in diameter.  It was quite impressive in the 120 gallon tank that I had.  It did so well with just vho lighting.
