@StatelineReefer Let me know if it needs to be a closer photo.

Photo's good, a little closer would be better for perspective, but it'll count!!

I agree, i took a photo and it looks like a big blob jello. I need to work oh my photo skills.

Are the rulers waterproof?
The rulers are waterproof. Dry Erase or Pencil are also perfectly acceptable for the date spot, should you choose to mark that.

@Battlecorals is the Rainbow sarmi a slow grower until it gets going? I recall that from the one I had a years ago.

2009, looks identical!

silly question but how will I hold the ruler and take a picture once mounted to my rocks?!:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: any advice welcome if not trade secrets.
Good Question! I haven't tried this but you can probably attach the ruler to an acrylic rod or pvc pipe and hold it in place while snapping your pic

Yes absolutely. Slow until you hit critical mass. color as well. They always drab out on me, but once they really are comfortable and growing, the pink tips and coloration over all get more pronounced.

This is my first grow out, but I’ve seen a few. And I really like the rulers. Some older monthly pics you could barely see the measurements

I'm rocking 75+ nitrates right now in the Frag Tank with no ill effects aside from some hair algae on the rocks I keep in there specifically to grow that algae away from the frags. I wouldn't chase any specific number unless you could prove it has an effect on your livestock.
