Reef Themed PUMPKIN CARVING Contest! WIN CASH FOR CORALS!

[Freakmachine01]

I use AI 32 HD X2 on my 120. Place them in a cave or underhand. A shadowed position. Medium to low flow so they can catch food. Twice a week feedings. I have 4 very big clusters of them in 4 different positions. Biggest cluster has about 30 heads, smallest about 15. If they are well out of the light they will open all day long. If not only at night.

On the goose neck arms. 12" from the surface for light distribution. I run the Saxby schedule with some minor tweaks. So they come on and off according to my own schedule plus I added some moonlight in the evening.

Congrats to the winners!!!

Your underwater reef scene was beautiful!

 

[MaxTremors]

What!?!? I’ve never won anything in my life!!! Wow!!! There were so many great pumpkins, I feel like it could’ve went to a few different people. But I had a blast carving them, this was a really fun contest. Just….wow!?!?

Edit: just wanted to say I hope there’s another contest next year (or even if we all just carve pumpkins for the fun of it) because I’ve already got some ideas rolling around in my head, again this was just a really fun contest!

 

[Mhamilton0911]
