All of yours are looking fantastic.
Mine on the other hand has seen better days. I've lost about 2/3rds of the growth. Things have turned around and are looking better. It has expelled most of its green in the tissue. It had actually grown over the last week instead of receding more. Good luck to you guys as I think most of you are beating me meow.

I am glad yours is coming back around. Your minor setback has made this a pretty interesting competition. I am glad I am competing and not judging.

Mine looks ok for now but I️ am experiencing an algae outbreak. I️ am trying to find the best method of controlling it. I did just put my ATS back online and added GFO. I️ did one 50 gal WC today and I️ am making 50 more for Wed-Thursday.

I wish it was minor I had lots of casualties in my frag system. My DT on the other hand is doing well.

Thanks. For many of them I still have some small frags or several polyps to grow them back from. A couple others also have some backups so I'm not completely skunked. It is weird as a lot of the expensive stuff is flourishing.

Not reading any Phosphate. Nitrates were between 5-12 on Nyos Kit. Looks closer to 5 to me. Turned my slimmer back on today too. I️ once had trouble getting any readings for nitrates so I️ turned of the protein skimmer. Maybe not the best idea huh?

I'd feed some phosphate rich food but you know your system better than anyone. I run nitrates around 5 and phosphates around . 08

I️ think I️ have phosphates in the water column but the algae is using it. If I️ truly had 0 phosphates, I️ wouldn't have an algae outbreak. Or is that not an accurate assumption? I️ am still very much a noob in this hobby/obsession. I️ rely on information I️ read online, mainly this forum.

I believe in the Redfield ratio to get rid of algae

Congrats on the rejuvenation Pife. Looks good Tim. This is my first competition and it looks like it will come down to the last month! Mine seems to have gotten a little bigger. Maybe just wishful thinking.
