Thanks guys!! There are a tone of frags in there...should be interesting. [emoji4] Eric, the lighting I'm running is what came with the RSM. It's a 4' 10 bulb T5HO fixture. The stock bulbs were swapped out for ATI and Geismann bulbs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is such a cool tank! Nice work!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Amazing job by all of the volunteers! You guys worked your butts off! To think that a show of this magnitude continues to be put on by a local club has, and always will be mind boggling to me. All of you should be proud of the success of the last three years along with it's culmination this weekend. Truly proud to be a part of this club! Amazing job guys!

Having a 20g coral quarantine in my basement that is used to house acros for 6-8 weeks at a time, I think you'll be fine. My quarantine gets inundated with pieces on a semi regular basis, and during the off times, has very few pieces in it (it runs constantly, not torn down and rebuilt when needed). With that said, I get algal blooms generally about 3 weeks in after placing a large number of pieces in it (I'm guessing due to a quick increase in bio load) nothing overwhelming though so don't be alarmed if this happens. I think the issues you experienced may be partially due to the nature of what frag fest is. Colonies are chopped up, bagged up, and handed out. Once you take them home and place them in a smaller water volume system, if one lets go, it tends to have a cascade effect throughout the tank. I have fragged a colony while still in the 20g and that stress caused 1frag to go, then another, and another...next thing you know, other pieces are being effected. While I have been to frag fest, I have never brought anything home for that reason. If I were to place them directly into the 120, chances for survival would certainly increase, but I just don't operate that way based off past experiences (not related to frag fest) so into the 20g quarantine they would go, where things can go wrong much more quickly. End result, I believe you will be fine with what you have setup there. Personally, I'm a believer that your animals should be fed, and I know that's up for debate. Just keep in mind that what you put in, must come out in some form, be it water changes, refugium, heavy skimming, etc. I think paying extra attention to the favia, that isn't doing well, with extra feedings may bring it back. Hopefully my anecdotal droning on will give you a bit of piece of mind. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's just below the mid-tank level. Right around 300-350 par. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Alright, so it would seem Frank has forced me to break out the camera and porthole today... So here are a few shots I fired off.

I'm posting heavy up here with the Mason Dixon Reef Club. Same story as above, a lot of our members are here at WAMAS as well. [emoji16]. Lots of conversation on and off the forum, so I'll keep posting away! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, I'll be there. Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Possible the issue you are experiencing is due to this being dry rock? Every system I have started with purchased dry rock has led to a nuisance algae outbreak. I've experienced dinos, cyano, and HA, typically one will lead to another over the course of the tank's maturation. That said, I've never had these types of issues when I've used established live rock. Could be completely coincidental, but worth thinking about prior to jumping ship.

This was dry rock you started with correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mike Biggar down in South Florida has the original WD, and that picture looks like one of his shots, although I could be wrong. I have seen this acro online and in person, and while it doesn't look exactly like the frag pictured, it is very nice. That said, the piece I see on a regular basis is starting to encrust a bit, and that coloration is beginning to poke through, so who knows what it will do. Excited to see though.
