This is the official challenge thread for the 3 contestants doing the LED,MH and T5 challege.I was donated 3 frags of strawberry shortcake from Pets Warehouse and we are getting a blue tipped acro donated from Supremereef.the challenge is to see who gets better coral growth and color in a 6 month period under which set of lights..Iknow there are many factorss here that will go into account with growing and coloring up but this is a guys club challenge so please we dont want to hear how water quality nand parameters play a major factor we know
*******************RULES*************
1=We are getting corals from a single colony
2-After a week of acclimating we will put the corals at the same height in each tank
3-We will post pics on a bi weekly basis
4-No photoshop is to be used
5-we will post our parameters bi-weekly

now out of all curiosity... if all tanks being the same (which unfortunately they are not) how do you compensate for equipment differences (or lack thereof) per say one person doses manually, one doesn't dose, one uses a calcium reactor, etc.
I'm not putting light into an equation as that would open up a whole new can of worms.

I see this as exciting as watching coraline grow.

:lol2:
