Might want to crank the kelvin up on the WB to offset some of the blues from the Kessils.

Topdowns looks good. Tons of encrustation and growth.

What's up with the bok choy and crinkled cut carrots on the side there?

Thanks Garvin! Glad you all had a great time.

That pho challenge sounds interesting...

Not sure if I'd put a Trident on a FW planted since it's a bit of an overkill, although I'm not sure that it matters with Vincent's plans and resources. Plus the 3 that it measures aren't really useful/needed for a fw planted tank...unless there's something in development to measure N,P,K...

How deep is your sand bed? Do you have any sand sifters that normally goes through and mixes it up?

Yep, went the way of the HD shelf with a few grommets from Amazon. This one was built to hold one of the EB832s and the Trident. Magnets were attached on the top and bottom, which attaches to the metal, since the tank sits on a CB2 table. The other one holds another EB832 and the head unit...

John, you might be referring to Xue Vang. Found him a few years back and he provided samples to us, which we made available to members. You can check it out on his website: https://www.reefway.org/store/c2/Plugs_and_Discs.html#/

Toss in a grow out contest, which hasn't been done in awhile. It's covid friendly and can bridge some of the lacking interactions with the LFS. Just pick up a colony from any of the LFS, frag it up equally and then grow the heck out of it. I'm sure the price of admission will easily pay for the...

Too lazy to look, but maybe one of the BOD members can post and link to some of the dipping protocols and practices? It would be extremely useful for those that haven't been to a swap or aren't used to dipping their corals.

You should talk to the folks at Neptune about this! @Vhuang168 They're working on and using tiles similar to these when I saw it on Terence's phone a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully they'll push it out when SKYs are out on the market, which should be in ~1 month from now.

Good eyes! Due to it being knocked off the plug, there isn't much encrustation, but the tip has grown by ~1/2". BTW, where's the Neptune light program at? :p @Vhuang168 No real methods really. I've just been really consistent. 3-4x a day feeding with NLS small pellets (I haven't used frozen...

Use an old and clean salt bucket, drill into the side of it high up, and then place a float switch inside the bucket. I used to flood the office too when I didn't have a float switch and forgot about it. Haven't had an issue since then.

Yep, health is all I'm concerned about with these pieces. Colors will get there eventually.

RR OP. Arguable the smallest frag in the tank at 1/2". Hasn't done much, but it is slowly growing and pushing out new polyps. RR The Vinh. Another piece that came off the rock and had to be reglued. Shed most of the browns on it. Can't see from this angle but it is slowly encrusting over the...

Sure thing, Will! Just some progression changes, which isn't much at all, over the course of the last month, which is typical of most frags at the 1/2" - 1" size. RR Pink Floyd. Shed its ugliness and picking up its famed yellows. Hard to notice the small amount of encrustation at all. POTO...

Blue light special with ~30 minutes left on the photoperiod.

Yep, as long as it's not a drastic daily change, it isn't an issue. Ran one of my tanks at 80-82 for ~a year, but then dropped it once I picked up a school of ventralis, which does better at lower temps.

Found my first baby Trochus on the back side wall. Blurry pic but ohs well. It was almost impossible to take a pic of due to its size (1/8") and location.
