i think i dick around with my corals too much to be in any sort of lead. i just broke a branch from another acro last night because i was sticking my fat arm in there to move the dendros which was getting crushed by the clam that has decided to move.. >_< high chance of this piece getting knocked over before the comp is done.. >_<

I switched my Halides over to Radiums and finding it very difficult to get a good picture of mine. Oh well here it is but the picture looks nothing like what it does in person. It's colored up, growing and fully encrusted.

I am unable to edit the original post so I'll quote here to keep all the progress on one post entry



And I don't RO/DI, at least not yet.

Day 0
1.Tank and Coral pics

View attachment 30356
View attachment 30357

2. Overview of setup.

My setup is a mixed old-school setup with a hodgepodge of stuff. A planted reef tank, fairly new in age but running old school technologies and constantly evolving, as I learn or am able to add.

Lighting: (2) PC fixture + LEDs strip
Filtration: Built-in W/D and Refugium conversion aspects.
Gallons: 100G Corner Pentagon Tank
Feeding habits + Livestock: various cubed foods and coral frenzy for various corals and four fish. Hoping to add fish and other corals and various things during the competition time frame.
No dosing but I might add additives if I find they might be needed.
Update: Day 30 -


Lighting change: Now using T5 (4) and MH (1) Combo.
Livestock Changes: More fish, coral, shrimps, rocks and macroalgae.
Day 65-ish

sorry bad pic but last min so I don't get disqualified. Purple color with blue tips. Fully encrusted and great polyp extension as the lights go off. Not so great when all the lights are on for some reason.

The frags are looking good guys…. I have a couple in the tank that are doing nicely as well….. Glad there's still a few of you left. At this rate the winner might win by default of being the last man standing that met the requirements of the competition…lol….

Here's my pic, I know I'm late as well. I love these contests. The longer they go the greater the chance of death lol

My frag fell into the sand and I tried to reposition it as close to I had the other pictures. It's a lot bluer but faded when it fell.
