For real though I think what worked for me is that I used new sand rinsed until I hated it. Transferred all the existing stuff except old sand, and started my lights off at 75% less intensity and increased them about 3% every couple days until I got to the place I wanted to be. Other than that I just tried to match the alk, cal, and mag to the old tank. I did not loose a single coral. That was in Feb-march.
Either way..whatever happens happens. It does bring a level of excitement with the competition. Always interested in everyone's different methods and techniques.
Count me in. I'll deal with the fallout of a box coming when that happens.
I may be in for the Impossible Choice. @Battlecorals can I combine that with my existing $600 battlebox to cut out shipping?At Midnight, September 23rd, 2023, I officially invite you all to join the BattleCorals Fall 2023 Grow Out Contest.

Absolutely
Alrighty then, count me in for both competitions and the Impossible Choice box because I hate money and love tiny growing rocks that live in water.
As foretold... So it shall be.
I had an awarewolf until my AC went out and my living room was a consistent 83 degrees and nitrates hit 60. It didn't survive that. Neither did my bonsai humi.@Battlecorals my first purchase from you was the rainbow army with a battle box. If I do another box this go around, do you see what you have sent on previous orders so that I don’t get repeats?
Also for what it’s worth, Awarewolf is a super awesome grower!
