My 40 gallon recife build

My parameters are very similar with a bit higher NO3 and PO4 (about twice the amount). I've been working on my PH with varies from 7.8 - 8.0 daily. Nothing I've done has improved this. So, it is what it is. Things seem happy so I quit worrying about it. Good luck in the comp! I get my corals tomorrow.
I honestly wish I could sit around 10 on n03, I just can't seem to hold it above 5, crazy! I cant wait to see your frags. The growout frags are massive! Good luck to you brother!
 
Ok everyone here's the list from battlecorals!

3 growout frags
Aquadelight
Pink caddy
Snipers blue

Battlebox with freebie
Angelica (pink and gorgeous)
Murder bath
Lemon peel
Lunar lemon
Nuclear table (absolute fire)

Every positive comment ever made about battle corals was correct. The size frags Adam sent, and the gorgeous selection of colors and growth patterns was so well thought out. I cant recommend this company enough. Everything arrived beautifully and in amazing condition.

Here's some pics. Sorry for the handwriting lol

I have to dose Vodka (16.3ml a day) just to keep the NO3 in check. I just tested Monday and my nutrients are just about where I want them to be. I'm looking for PO4 to be around .1 and NO3 at around 10. Tank is running really well and I haven't changed anything for a while. I don't run carbon or use anything to reduce phos. I feed heavy (10 cubes a day + auto feed small amount of pellets 3x a day) and lots of filtration. I don't feed corals either. There's a lot of fish poop going on with so many fish and feedings.

Can't wait to see some pictures of your Battlebox!

My parameters were:
PO4 - .14
NO3 - 13.6
ALK - 8.3
CA - 438
MG - 1388

Those are SWEET! I love the spot you picked for them! Mine will likely be all over the tank on the rock. I'm thinking of putting them where I want it and let them do their thing from there. Great looking frags and hope you do great with the new additions!

Many thanks my friend. I like where they are, but ill hopefully have a crowding issue on my hands eventually lol. All the more reason to push that new tank build. even faster.

Heck yeah! Those are some awesome pieces! You are going to have some crowding quicker than you think! :) I think it looks cool when they get all tangled up, but it will slow your contest pieces down a bit if they have to fight for space.

Yeah man the 3 growout frags and freebie really added to the total lol. Im trying to figure out what to do with them all. I may have a little room on the rocks for the snipers blue and I do have another rack. We'll see if I cant space them out a little bit.

I have 2 more coming tomorrow for the Sps tank dot com growout contest

Those are great numbers for the amount you have to feed each day. I wouldn't mind 10 to 15 no3 for the lps.

Finally added some pics of the battle box

Didn't you say you let Adam make your picks? If so, you wont be disappointed. He really hooked me up.

I did and I'm sure they will be. Just provided some guidance of what I like.

Yea, I basically said "i need a red and yellow, red and orange, or red, yellow and orange peice, besides that, I like shaggy, have at it, you have free reign" so we'll see!

Just remember who was a terrible influence and peer pressured you into this growout, when that Angelica starts getting over grown and taking over your tank, anf it comes times to try shipping chunks out 🤣

Hahaha you are definitely that person in question! I do plan on putting this in the frag tank to grow it out. If it makes it to fragging size, I got you brother!
