Yes since it was a long spindle I thought it would be best. If a frag has multiple branches I don't really like doing it.@drawman did you intentionally lay yours on it’s side? I was thinking of doing it. I heard it encrust and grows new branchs faster.
I've never heard of that (I'm new to SPS) but that sounds awesome. I might need to try it on one of my other frags.Yes since it was a long spindle I thought it would be best. If a frag has multiple branches I don't really like doing it.
They really do encrust faster that way but look funny to start.
Hey Matt small world, I am also in Kane County, Near Cville! I have a 65 gallon display with 4 T5 and 2 Hydra 52 HDS over it. I also have a 30 gallon frag tank with 4 T5s, My growout piece is in my frag tank and will stay in there for the duration of the contest.Just thought I'd try to wake this thread up a bit. I've been wondering where all the contestants are from? Experience levels? Anyone care to share setup info or parameters? I'll start...
I'm in Kane county Illinois. About a 40 minute drive to Chicago(East) or Wisconsin( North).
I started saltwater in 2004 and have kept a tank in some form or another ever since. I first started keeping coral in 2006. It was different then compared to now. I had several nice fish stores near me. Each had live rock, actually came from the ocean back then. Along with captive raised, maricultured and wild corals. Hard to find stores like that around here these days around here.
I currently have a 40 gallon breeder with 1 Kessil 380 and 1 Kessil 160 over it. Today, I added a 36" LET 2x T5 retrofit kit over the tank. With one ATI blue plus and one ATI coral plus for now. I do not use a sump or controller. Pretty much just test often and dose rarely. I do 15% wc every other week. And rock a hob skimmer and 1 mp40 for flow.
As far as parameters...
DKH=8.3
CA=420
MG=1280
That's all for now
