This is all that is left and I’m trying the super glue trick to see if it works.

that's so wild! After I got through the first rough 2 months, mine's been a resilient ol' dude and has adapted well to anything I've thrown at it.

I’m not really sure I’ll get a par measurement and let you know. It’s also directly under a 6 bulb t5 fixture I guess it likes that spectrum

300 par. Sorry for the late reply I just measured it @Jasonak

Thanks! I might need to relocate mines getting about 600 par for 4 hours a day and does not look like that at all. Its slowly growing, but tiny to no PE hasent even encrusted the frag. Its odd cus bonzai is right next to it and seems to be doing great. Go figure.

That’s funny I’m at 300 par for 6 hours and my bonsai is in the same par and not growing or doing anything. It probably needs higher light

My Blue Ghost is gone for a while but here is crazy upright growth with small amount of encrusting on my Wasp Nest.
Just goes to show some acros take better to other systems. Only had this one a little longer than blue ghost.

Alright guys. Coming to the end of the month. I have a busy weekend ahead so not sure if I’ll get to posting current stats before the end of the month. My apologies.

Mine is hanging in still. Will get a pic this weekend. I might finally move it and mount it to a rock if u get brave enough.

Month 5 update. I moved all my contest frags to the center, sitting at just over 300 PAR now. The Blue Ghost seems to be doing really well. I can't really explain it well, but the flesh seems thicker/more dense/more full.

I'm 99% sure my neptune trident is dying and due for a refurb, as the numbers it's putting up are way out of whack.

@Reefing102 @StatelineReefer @BranchingHammer

Month 4 update. Blue ghost is doing well, thinking about moving it up to the center of the tank to see if it likes the higher PAR (going from 150 to 250). My ruler is from the base of the growth as all 3 contest corals continue to encrust.

Nutrients, alk, ca, and mg are all elevated from last month, but everything seems to like it so I'm not concerned. New fish are doing great, and my $40 rescue lobo (bottom center right in the cave in the FTS) is recovering well.

I'm hosting the images on imgur now so they don't get autocompressed by the forum. Should be easier to see my ICP results.

March entry - holding in there. I will be mounting it in the next two weeks hopefully as I have rock work where I want it.

Wasn’t getting any growth so I mounted my frag on a plate and moved it to my frag tank hopefully this will be an improvement and I’ll start getting some growth.
