Anyone else upgrade lighting in prep.....no? Just me? Dont tell the S.O!
I've done a lot of prep myself. New controller with dosing pumps just for the 1g grow out 'showcase' pico. New light and shroud, heater, TBS nano rock coming in for biological stability.

Nice, I've been toying around the idea of adding some of their rock to my tank just to increase biodiversity. Just sent them an email to see what they suggest.

I mean, I did serious maintenance like disassembling the carx and redoing it all. Does that count?

Actually, yes :). New lights just put on about a week ago. That said, it may be a mistake as my old light was the Photon V2 Pro, which Battle corals currently uses..

I should not make assumptions about what these corals are currently running under, but I know at one point Adam was running a mixture of Photon's and Metal Halides.

@StatelineReefer Sorry if I missed it somewhere. I tried to go back through the posts. How long is the grow period and when will the last measure/photo be submitted for judging?
I will be making the contest photo submission threads shortly.

The grow period will be one year (365 days) from the first official entry, not from the arrival photo.

As Adam ships out orders I will be able to gauge when we will be beginning.
