I got ya. I am just playing for fun, and will be sharing my tips along the way on my channel.
That’s the plan as of now, but I’ll add a second to my current order if it’s going to throw a wrench into the works.
One is perfectly fine! Just wanted to be sure was all. I’m glad you’re in the contest either way
There’s no requirement to double up.

LOL. In my defense, I did say that I may be in for two.
It's nice to see a full contest, but now some can jump in in the 11th hour.
I think it's all squared away. I had phosphates spike from .0 something up to almost .2 (I forget the exact numbers off hand) in one week. Everything else was stable other than nitrate rising from below 10 into the mid-teens. Other than possibly poor flow in certain areas long-term catching up to me, I don't know what else it could have been.
I was going to ask @Battlecorals for the current par of these myself. Since this is supposed to be the “Lemon Squeezy” category, it should be fairly easy for experienced Reefers. My guess is to keep parameters stable, and keep flow up.
it's great question and one I get asked very often. my tanks are shallow so large variation is pretty limited. but I see par at roughly 300-700 with 350-400 definitely being the average over most. But these efflos are extremely forgiving.
That explains some color shifting from previous boxes, as I keep my acros in about 250-300 par and high flow (To be expected). Lots of polyp extension though! This will at least give us a clue so we don’t bleach them out. Thanks!
Glad it's straight now.
It's a new one to me, so I don't know for sure. There isn't much out there. Probably not as easy or fast as plating monti, but it was alongside poci or fire tower monti in the voting, it probably grows about as well.
Matt what sort of color shift do you tend to get at the lower par? Just a slight lessening of vibrancy or full tonal shifts?
Depending on the individual and params, I’ve seen subtle shifts to sorta pastel colors, to full out color shift. When they shift completely, from having less light, they usually turn green or brown. They are still alive and growing, just not as they were from day one. The Battlecorals pretty much kept their color so far. Just a little lighter than before. But increasing par and flow will get them back in about 6 months or so, in my experience. I usually focus on growth first, then work on color later.
Hi
It looks like there is room if you would like to sign up.
