I can’t get a good picture (I’m sorry) but I’ll take a better one next time. I don’t want to miss the deadline

If a better pic is needed, just let me know. Good luck to us all!

Thanks again Adam for the awesome box

Here's day 5. I know it's kinda moot to post this but I usually do my tank maintenance every other Wednesday and today is the day. (And if I forget the required monthly posting is still covered )

Andre's frag...……Arrival 08/28/2018........Size about an inch…….
Mounted on about 45 degree angled, medium to high light and average flow spot……….

I will send a new ICP out tomorrow morning and I anticipate heavy dosing of Reef Steroids !!! No mercy here……… ;-)
Will notify as usual my historical ATI ICP results in my built thread.

Well This is the first day I clicked on this rules thread so I guess I already have strike 1. ;Facepalm

I received mine on 8/23/18. And my s7 permanently shut down on me a couple days ago, with the only backup an old iphone until I get a new s7 this proves how horrible iphone is for reef pics. Unbelievably horrible. #neverbuyiphone This is the best I can do until my new phone gets here. Thanks Adam for the freebie!

End of the Month submission.
Official entry photo for comparison (frag arrived 8/8, Frag rack shot was taken on 8/10)
I thought I'd include the photo from a few days later when I glued it to the rock work and discovered I couldn't get the numbers on the blue ruler to show up in the new location so new location/new ruler which should remain constant for the rest of the contest





And here is today's 'end of the month' submission. (PE usually much better but new arrival BC frag baggies kept bumping into it during acclimation when I realized I better shoot a picture today cuz I work tomorrow):

So, 22 days in the tank and growth hasn't budged from 2.8 cm.

current tank parameters:
ALK - 7.7
Calcium - 455
Mg- 1400
pH - 8.1 - 8.3
Nitrate - 2.0ppm
PO4 - 0.00 - 0.04 ppm (still trying to tune in my ATS's flow and light cycles to get steady PO4 levels)
SG - 1.026
Temp - 77-79

6 bulb ATI (three blue+, two actinic, 1 purple+) with 1 XHO actinic Reef Brite strip
Experimenting with Red Sea Colors trace elements at about 1/2 recommended dose (waiting for results from Triton to see if I'm on target)

Just got mine. Here it is. I’m impressed with the quality of frags everyone got.
