Just over a year. This thing will not grow for me!

I was checking out yours in your thread. It seems a bit more green than mine. Mine is in very high PAR, about 545.

It looks great! Really good coloring. Looks like it is getting good growth as well. Resembles my UC Strawberry Shortcake.
Yeah, mine is finally getting its color in. Sat dormant for around 7 months and is finally showing some promise. I think it was because I was blasting it with around 1200 PAR. It seems to have responded once I lowered my lights and now it is receiving around 750 PAR. I have it near the top.

Hey I read through your entire build! What a great tank, and im glad to see that you've been so successful with a dry startup since many threads are now attributing poor tank success to dry starts. My tank is similar to yours at 36x24x20. Is it reasonable to say you're at around 100x turnover with 2 of those vortechs at 90%? Debated adding one to my back wall, but I can certainly ramp up my tunze 6095 and XF330 gyre. Even with those at 100% pulsing I'd probably only be 60x turnover at peak.

So I got out my camera to take a pic of my new"ish" MattV Rainbow Envy frag. I think I forgot to post a pic of that one? I swear it was not on purpose!
Anyways, snapped another angle of the BC Shades of Fall. The new growth is really special.

Yes, with my two MP40's I'm doing about 100x. Then you can add in my return pump which is a Vertex V6. It's listed at 1584gph, although I have no idea what the true output is after going vertical 4' with several elbows, splits, locline, etc.
Hmmm......Kinda weedy I think.So I got out my camera to take a pic of my new"ish" MattV Rainbow Envy frag. I think I forgot to post a pic of that one? I swear it was not on purpose!

So I hear a lot about peoples "Mixing Stations". I'm not sure if mine qualifies for such a prestigious label, but here it is. I use a couple Brutes, one for RODI and one for mixed saltwater. I run it through a 150gph BRS RODI system using a booster pump hooked directly to my garden hose. I mix up 40g at a time which lasts me about a month. Good old IO mixed to 1.0264 and I adjust the Alk to 7.5 and occasionally boost the Cal and/or Mag if less that what I'm looking for (400/1500). I use 5g Walmart buckets to do a 10g water change once a week. Easy peasy!

I've been playing around with Actinic FTS the past few days. I'm leaning towards #1 being my favorite. #3 looks cool, but it's too pixelated. What do you guys think?

I think it looks awesome! Really popping without the overly saturated blue look. Are you using a filter?

Yes, an orange gel. I'm personally not a huge fan of blue light pics which is why I rarely post pics of my corals in blue light. But I saw the pic of the month contest and figured I'd have some fun.

Alright, it looks like everyone agreed with me so I went ahead and entered #1.

Hey Spencer, I dose BRS Cal/Alk, nothing else. Do you mean how the coralites are so tight on my tabling acros like Superman and Aquatic-Man?

As promised, here's my little MattV Rainbow Envy frag I forgot to post.
And since I had the camera out, here's a better pic of my RRU Angry Birds.
