Ok guys and gals this will be the thread to post your first pics and system specs. Need to have this done by November 12th or you will be disqualified. Rules were already posted in the original grow out comp thread. Some people have yet to pay or pic up. Please contact me asap if this is an issue. I will start this party off with my first post.

Tank specs are in my sig. Reef levels are Alk:10dKh, Cal:450, Mag:1440. I have this ricordia growing in my frag tank but both tanks are tied to the same sump and thus share the same water supply. ~140g total volume.

You can kind of see it but there are 3 green mouths on my frag. It's been eating fauna marin lps pellets.

Sorry for crappy pics, I broke my lense on back of my phone. I'll hopefully have it fixed by next posting

Ok I'll be posting pictures tomorrow. My tank is a 90 gallon. I'm running 6 bulb T5 lights on it. I have two RW-8's running for flow. I dose Ca and KH but I have them off temporarily because if a slight spike. I run a skimmer can't think of the make atm and a reactor for carbon. Anything I'm missing?

 

Oh I also have a JBJ ATO

I'm running a 20 gallon IM fusion tank.

I have the AI Prime light @30%, a tunze nano skimmer, chemipure elite in the back. ATO when it works right. I do 5 gallon water changes every other weekend (Kent salt).

I'd estimate there's 30# of live rock.
