Just completed a water change and did some cleaning. Will have final pics in a few hours (once things clear up and settle down).

Here are the last photos of some things, and of course, a FTS.
Top Down shot of the frog spawn. Remember, it started at 10 heads, I miss counted on last count, and now have 15 as one has split!
Armor of Gods started at 5 heads, now at 8.
My Duncan coral, started at 5 heads, and heck, I stopped counting at 9...these things grow fast (most of the heads are small)
Eye of Rah Zoas, started at 2, now have 4
And last but not least, the full tank shot
I will say guys and gals, this has been a very fun competition. This build made me think hard about what I wanted to do with it and the corals. I do wish I would have done a few things different coral wise, but I am sticking with my first instinct and hoping for the best. I know this tank really does not stand a chance on winning grand prize, or any for that matter, as there are some stunning tanks that are prettier than a regular ol' biocube. One thing is, it places first in my book as this thing has really closed a chapter for me, and opened a new one. It has re-sparked my passion of this hobby and for that, I thank R2R and everyone involved in getting this competition together and maintaining it.
I wish everyone the best of luck!!!

I dose seachem Aquavitro products. I do two water tests a week to check things like calcium, alk, mag, and salinity. Also try to keep nitrates around 5, believe it or not, I don't push for 0 on those, never have. I like a range of 5-10 and no more. I keep salinity around 1.024 and ph at a steady 8.0. Temp on this tank is steady at 80.5°
I do weekly water changes, feed about every 2 days and feed Larry's Reef Frenzy and Area 51 phytoplankton.
Other than that, medium to moderate flow with a MP10 and a 8.5 hour light cycle.
Thank you very much for the compliments.
