Well, I guess these will be the final few posts. :) Just completed a water change and did some cleaning. Will have final pics in a few hours (once things clear up and settle down).

Here are the last photos of some things, and of course, a FTS.

Top Down shot of the frog spawn. Remember, it started at 10 heads, I miss counted on last count, and now have 15 as one has split!

Armor of Gods started at 5 heads, now at 8.

My Duncan coral, started at 5 heads, and heck, I stopped counting at 9...these things grow fast (most of the heads are small)

Eye of Rah Zoas, started at 2, now have 4

And last but not least, the full tank shot

I will say guys and gals, this has been a very fun competition. This build made me think hard about what I wanted to do with it and the corals. I do wish I would have done a few things different coral wise, but I am sticking with my first instinct and hoping for the best. I know this tank really does not stand a chance on winning grand prize, or any for that matter, as there are some stunning tanks that are prettier than a regular ol' biocube. One thing is, it places first in my book as this thing has really closed a chapter for me, and opened a new one. It has re-sparked my passion of this hobby and for that, I thank R2R and everyone involved in getting this competition together and maintaining it.

I wish everyone the best of luck!!!

I dose seachem Aquavitro products. I do two water tests a week to check things like calcium, alk, mag, and salinity. Also try to keep nitrates around 5, believe it or not, I don't push for 0 on those, never have. I like a range of 5-10 and no more. I keep salinity around 1.024 and ph at a steady 8.0. Temp on this tank is steady at 80.5°

I do weekly water changes, feed about every 2 days and feed Larry's Reef Frenzy and Area 51 phytoplankton.

Other than that, medium to moderate flow with a MP10 and a 8.5 hour light cycle.

Thank you very much for the compliments.

What lights do you have on in these final pictures? Just LED bars? Do you still have just the three lunar blue bars?

Thanks.

I only have the one LED bar but my tank looks so much more white and void of color. I'm definitely going to ask for some LED bars for Christmas. :)
