Me either. Crank them suckers to 100% and may the strongest survive.

Oof lol.
I likely wouldn’t have any survive if I did that. My lights at about 25-30% intensity on all the channels.
It depends on the fixture for sure lol.
Yeah.. it only works if you drive your chemistry just as hard.

How do you drive chemistry hard?
Same concepts as gardening. Elevated levels of some elements and nutrients to enable your biology to put that light to work.

Initial pictureThis thread is for posting monthly pictures in the Colliderscope Grow out competition. And other shenanigans...
This thread will be used for monthly submissions of your growing frag progress!
THE RULES - Please read as some have changed from the previous contests.
Rule 1: Competition will last for One Year from the date you receive your contest frag.
Rule 1.2: The official first month will be August
Rule 2: The initial submission (baseline) must be measured on the included frag plug, with the official ruler, within 7 days of receipt.
Rule 2.1: The initial submission will also be your first months pic as well.
Rule 3: The last submission must be within 365 days of your first official entry.
Rule 3.1: As a general rule, there should be a total of 13 pics (12 monthly pics and a final pic) if you do not miss a submission.
Rule 4: The provided ruler must be against your frag for every months’ submission photo.
Rule 5: A picture must be submitted by the end of the month, every month. The last calendar day of each month is the absolute deadline, local time will be considered valid for deadline purposes. I have given a little leeway on this in the past, but we have four organizers this time around, and so for consistency, there will be no deviation.
Rule 5.1: Optionally your monthly submission may be accompanied by your current water parameters, par readings, or any other you deem pertinent to the growth of your contest frag.
Rule 6: After the baseline photo, you can remove the coral from the plug and mount it anywhere that you choose. If placed on a disk it can be moved around the tank. I encourage experimentation with placement as no two frags will grow the exact same, and some can be so picky that a half an inch makes a difference between no growth and explosive growth.
Rule 7: You may take up to 2 months 'off' without submitting a photo, PM your contest lead if you would like to request this.
Rule 7.1: The "months off" cannot be the first or last month's submission.
Rule 8: When submitting your entry, please tag @Reefing102, @Jasonak, @Mschmidt, and @Troylee or use the hashtag #b#battlecrewo that we may not it in our records.
Rule 9: In the event you change your screen name from the one listed below, please contact an event organizer to make the change official in our records.
Feel free to PM any BattleCrew Member or @Battlecorals with any questions regarding the contest.
The lucky contestants for this contest are as follows (organizers may or may not participate, it is their option):
Stay tuned for the competition progression as well as other engaging activities.

That is a wicked looking coral, I'm really really liking this guy the more frags I see of it. I have a Valida in my tank and its at least 10 years old grown it to volley ball size couple times. Fragged it 100 times super hardy this ones suppose to be hardy also.Colliderscope - initial image - no filter
