I think optional may be the best route to go, considering some people might not have current readings if they are out of town/already took a picture, etc. Definitely cool if people post it each month, though. Might provide insight on different growth tanks and parameter levels.

Parameters have been made optional, but I do still suggest submitting them, Not so much for the contest itself, but many people not participating currently could look back and say "this worked, and this didn't, and I can emulate that as a foundation for growth".

Here's my first photo!
DSC06114.jpeg



Tough to get a great photo, the ruler blocks the light!

Calcium 460
Alkalinity 8.5
Magnesium 1275
Salinity 1.025
Nitrate 4.5 - 5.0
and Phosphate0.03
That's actually a phenomenal photo, and excellent for an initial measurement.

Do you all need me to make that portion optional?

I was under the assumption that everyone tested for the "Big Three" at least once a month to maximize their growth and tune their dosing.
I just got the remainder of my test kits, i test Nirate,phos,alk. This "inspired" me to start checking and start a doseing routine. Seems overwhelming all at first lol.

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?
I really think so. I soaked one for a couple days right after I got them and as far as I can tell they are ok.
