☆☆ - Fall Grow-Out Contest - Corpse of Helltrollsman man Picture Entries - ☆☆

[Jarad]

My week 0 posting. I'll take an actual measurement when I get home as it's difficult to see now from the image. Small piece broke off in two places, but hoping to get a free nubbin to grow there if all goes well.

@StatelineReefer this frag is ok

Interesting setup. Is that your main tank? Any full tank shots?

There was bit of mix up and I received a Helltrollmen frag instead of the blue ghost so I need to switch my entry from the blue ghost to here please. Sorry for the trouble. I told Adam I would tag him @Battlecorals for confirmation.

Day one zero

Yeah, I'm really sorry about them and I can be a serious bonehead sometimes. Thanks for the flexibility on this one.

It's all good man. I'm not pointing fingers just want the mods to know whats going on. Hate to win the contest and loose on a technicality

Day 1 entry, fresh out if the bag and a bit later in the tank… holy crap this one looks like it’s going to be a stunner. I’ve had such bad luck with these grow outs… this is my comeback round

Month 1 update! 5mm of growth in 3 weeks (18mm Day 0 to 23mm), this one looks good but I haven't seen any PE yet. ICP test, apex stats, and FTS attached for anyone curious on my tank stats and frag placement.

Note there's a lot of messed up stuff on the ICP test (Fe and Al especially), and I'm chasing down the culprits. I'm 3 weeks into the Reef Moonshiner's method (just daily dosers so far), and all the correction elements show up tomorrow and I'm excited for that! No vitamins or reef mud yet, I'll probably order those in a month.

I've got my Radion G6 XR15 Blues on full performance of WWC's SPS 1500G tank, and the G6 XR30 Blue in the center is on a 60-day acclimation ramp up to an end goal of ~500 par in the center of the tank @ 12" depth.

I'm still trying to see which of the contest frags like what kind of light in my tank, and I've got some center-aisle spots reserved for them for final placement once I figure out what they like.

I've included a zoomed in shot for fun, and also to really see the flesh, polyp, and coralite health each month.

Day 1 submission for HTMM, this one's showing the most color of the 3 for me at the start (when I've got actinic on and orange lenses).

I attached my most recent ICP and a screenshot of my Apex parameters, no fake numbers here =)

* I started Moonshiners two days ago and have begun correcting some of the parameters from the ICP test (K, Fe, Al). I'm also doing the standard daily dosing, but no mud or vitamins yet.

* I'm also dosing:
** 30ml of Acro Power per day
** 8L of Kalk
** currently 43mL of All for Reef (I'll probably end up reducing this as I get more into Moonshiners).

* PE on my established millis is 4-5mm with the BC ruler, so it seems to be working for me.

This is just a reminder to everyone, we are missing a few 0 day pics. I am aware of a couple that have not shipped yet but I believe most of the others have.

Also do not forget to take your November pic if you haven't already. They are due by the end of the month even if you received your frag in November.

I am scheduled to receive my frag tomorrow. Will my Day 0 picture count for my November as well or do I need 2 posts?

You will need two posts, thankfully they can still be weeks apart.

[Reefing102]

@StatelineReefer @Battlecorals I know helltroll was one of the tighter grow outs as far as spots go so not sure if there’s any spares. Thoughts?
