Couple things to note:

The winners of this contest will be eligible to enter the Champions grow out

Also, there’s a new grow out that will be running concurrently to the champions grow out.

Really nice shots what do you use for camera ?
Just my iPhone 13. I always turn off the little flower icon in the corner, zoom in to around 1.5x, then auto lock the focus, then pull the phone away until it’s in focus. Gives a cleaner and clear image that way.

Thanks for the tip, they looks super sharp and clean. You always have really nice shots.

I tried everything with my samsung 22 ultra clipped a macro lens on it to try get close, but it kinda gave fish eye effect. Screwed around with pro mode. Its tuff to get a really clear clean shot for me at least. Ill have to try that when I get home. My contest rock is in middle of the tank about 1.5 feet from front glass and about 8 inches below the water so that dosent help. I picked it up and moved it around even but light wasnt quite hitting it right. I need to practice with my camera more for sure. I keep thinking I need a fancy one but if your doing that with your phone Im sure I can do bit better with mine.

I'm out mine was RTN from the base up so I ended up fragging the tip to try and save it. This months measument is negative 3cm lol
If its alive your in and you made it ! This and Ghost were tuff contest man. SO many losses. You can see from initial picture my whole box had a ruff trip several losses and tissue loss on this guy and my troll but they both pulled through little troopers :) Honestly when we started this contest a year ago,(which blows my mind) bonsai was my least favorite frag of the three but has done the best out of all them and now is one of my favs in the tank. The polyps in my tank are a teal and against the purple body they look so cool.

Appologies but I've haven't followed all the entries. So your saying I should post a measurement image this month even tho it's smaller than it was?

@StatelineReefer @BranchingHammer and @Reefing102

Have a busy week ahead so getting this in a little early.

Final entry: I'm hoping my photos do it justice, still tweaking my photo mode on the MXM and took some different angles.


overall this has been pretty consistent for parameters: Salinity is actually around 34.5, probe is just reading off.

no3: 9-10
po4: 0.1-0.3 over the course of the year. Believe I'm more consistently around 0.1-0.15 now.

initial entry:

Today:
FTS with lots of glare from the light outside...

If it me I would if only to say I made it. Like I said tuff contest to finish says allot.
Thanks that makes sense, Why quit before the end. This is my first time doing this. I'm in the corps of helltrollsmen also but not much growth. My tank was only about six months old when I entered. Sticks are really starting to take off now so I'm looking forward to the next contest.

this is one of the few pieces I still have from my 1st box and I happened to make a post about it in my build thread haha. Haven't been very good about keeping up with that, but just over 3 years. I actually had a pretty bad die off from that box so I'm surprised this was from that one so just over 3 years, I've also fragged it a few times already
