Do we need to do a picture for this month after doing our initial pics a week or two ago or did those all count for august?

I was wondering the same thing

I know I'll forget, so I set up a monthly reminder for the next 12 months to remind me on the 21st of every month (when my frag arrived)

Yeah, I wasn't sure either and since mine had been in the tank since the 8th I erred on the side of posting a pic in the photo thread yesterday because I wouldn't have been able to do so today in case it was required.

Got my corals yesterday. Unfortunately my package got held up for a day and had a distinct funk smell when it arrived. I got 6 frags and as of right now only 3 made it. Luckily one of those is the snipers blue, going to try to get the official entry tonight.

Same thing happened to me early this month, lost 2 of 7 frags due to shipping delay but the Snipers came through well. Seems to be a very resilient acro and I think odds are good that yours will be okay. Good luck.
(Adam sent replacements for the two that died in the initial shipping delay, the replacements were held up again (probably in the same batch as yours) but so far they look okay, too.

Got my girl settled in the other week. Work had been crazy 60-70 hour weeks. On top of my other hobby, I haven’t had much time to join in the discussion. Alk has been a bit of a struggle to get stable. I’ve gone back to work a couple months ago and my son starting kindergarten, my ph has been going up. Alk Consumption has really increased and with how concentrated Triton is it’s a little tricky to really dial in. But anyways here’s my girl in her semi permanent home.

Could very well be...seems to be an unknown.

Yep it’s a really nice reef raft collectible


They call it “Rainbow Loom”

What size tank u have?
Triton is easy for every fifty gallons of water 1 ml equals .1 dkh

You should have said it's just some common dud...it'll surely die now.

Lol shoot, I probably shouldn’t fan the firethen by adding that it’s one of my hardiest acros

Wow..just set me up for an embarassing failure why don't you? j/k I've killed ALL kinds of sps in the past couple years. In fact, I think I bought a pack from you awhile back (a year+ ago) you claimed was unkillable..pretty sure I killed them all. lol

In my defense, the AEFW helped. I've got it together now though.

The lighting is still a work in progress.

Sorry about the glass. Just got back from vacation. Decided to change the lighting before I cleaned up the tank;Facepalm

Well you have to have priorities!

Well you have to have priorities!

If things go according to plan, the tank you see will become a frag tank. Still collecting equipment for an upgrade.

got mine off the frag rack and mounted in the tank, little lower than others so hoping the placement works out well

Kessil and T5 hybrid. While taking the lighting down today, it seemed the T5 were doing the heavy lifting. The tank was quite a bit dimmer by eye with just the Kessil on.

250w 14k Phoenix MH only. It's only been on for maybe 50 minutes when I took this pic. I really like it so far.

Edit:
I meant to measure it again dang it. That's 50 minutes of growth between those pics!

All contestants has received their frags and has made their official entry. Everyone seemed to receive a frag that was alive.

Has anyone had their frag die on them already?
