Good point goody....you guys think we should start next monday? I know a lot of you have not picked up your frags yet, so this will give you plenty of time to do so. That is if zoagirl doesnt throw them out of her crowded frag tank:aetsch:

DIY Wavebox on left side behind overflow box
Auto Top Off

Filtration: Warner Marine AS200 skimmer
AquaC Phosphate Reactor with carbon in it

Also Have a Turf Algae Grower
Automatic Water changing system (2 gallons in/ 2 gallons out) per day

Fish: Tangs (Purple, Yellow, Scopas, Sailfin, and Chevron), Clownfishes (2 x Picasso, 2 x Semi Picassos, and 2 x True Percs)<-all in separate tanks of course, Tongan Flame Wrasse, Tailspot Blenny, Randall's Goby, Yellow Watchmen Goby w/ pistol shrimp, pseudochromis, purple firefish, and 3 scissortail dartfish.

The Frag is in the middle of the tank about 8-12 inches below water surface at moderate flow. I'll try to get a picture of it soon but my cheap camera is nowhere to be found so i think i'll borrow my cousin's camera which probably will be better anyways.

Contest will officially start on Monday June 15 2009. This will give the remaining people more than enough time to go pick up their frags and let it acclimate in their tanks. Whoever does not pick up their frags by then will be out of the contest. GL everyone:congrats:

If this is a mistake, and others don't pick up their frags, I'm beginning to like my chances of winning this thing:D. Do you think I have a chance with just T5 lighting? 1 out of 13 ain't bad. Received my shipped frag last night, acclimated and all are open.

I had a friend of mine pick up my frag last week. The tank the frag is in is;

24 gallon Aquapod, Remora Pro skimmer, 150w hqi w/ 20k Ushio, also have 2 Hydor Korrelia nanos for extra water movement. The frag is about a foot below the light indirectly. I feed phyto, mysis, brine, flake, rotifers, cyclops, Nutri-Kol reef plus and complete feed, as well as Mark Wiess s.p.s. and soft coral grow, all totally randomly.

I'll post a pic a soon as I get home from work today.
