You’re more than ok with that. I go to the end every month hoping for more growth. Thank you for all you do with these contests!

I think the contest goes till September so we got a minute to do things , and even then there's not a rush At least not for me, I'm in it for fun and to kind of see where I'm at compared to others and keep me little more interested/on top of my tank which will be put to the test once fishing season hits. Do I think ill win NOPE lol but its cool to see everyone's else progress and get feedback on what they do to help improve my own reefing. That being said I should post little more about my setup. If anyone's interested.
330 display 90 sump
6 black boxes set at 20 for white and 90 for blue
6 XR15 using a tweaked TSA light schedule
Dosing with DOS from my neptune system using Randys ALK and CAL recipe about 450 ML a day from each adjusted daily/weekly to try and keep in parameters.
Just started dosing trace elements A and K from tropic marine along with dosing C at 225 ML a day with old peristaltic pump.
Also started using there reef actif,,,not sure about this though....Cyano showing up allot since I started. 3 weeks into it so far.
Little macro in sump skimmer off.

EDIT:
Also I will say that I put my frags after a week on my frag tray out on my rock work. I see allot of people left them on there frag trays till they encrusted the plug. Which I think is a better Idea. From 10-2 each day mine are getting 6-700 par, tested with a Parwise meter.

Ok I've moved mine up into a higher par area let's see what happens. Upward growth has not happened for me so far.

 

[Nate Chalk]

Not officially out. But had to save the piece. Skin started to peel. Not sure why.


Coloring up nice, but never really had any PE the entire time I had it.

I run aquaforest probiotic method. What else do you want to know?

I will need to look into that dang.

Lights, tank age, size

It’s a 125 gallon. I run T5s with an LED strip. Tank is almost a year old. The rocks are 4 years old the tank crashed when I moved to my new house a year ago, so it was a reset and I decided to have a go at acropora dominant tank. I am having good growth with acropora but still struggling pulling the cool colors out. I will post some pictures of it when I get home. Filtration is fleece roller (best investment ever) and protein skimmer. I use a trident to control dosing. The dosing is the 3 part aquaforest. I dose 2-3 times a week all the trace elements and what not as part of the probiotic method.

April entry. Color has all come back. Starting to see orange/yellow looking colors under blues. Some very light encrusting happening. Still I have never seen any polyps or anything.

 

[Jay6363]

I’m unfortunately out due to tank crash due to end of winter storm. @StatelineReefer @BranchingHammer @Reefing102
