I think everyone has had enough time to pick up their $5 frag or at least be vocal about it. Ron it's up to you. If anyone wants to join the contest bows your chance, first come first serve.

We have enough contestants and anyone who hasn't posted their requirements by Saturday will be disqualified.
I want in!!!! Ron, please let me know if I can go pick up the frag Friday afternoon if there are some left. Thanks!

Hey guys sorry it took so long! Picked up my frag today. I have a 150 with 50ish gallon sump. I dos ALK CAL &MAG. I run biopellets and carbon. I also have chaeto and various other macro algaes. I have 3 AI hydras over the tank, it's bare bottom and until recently it has been a strictly LPS & softies tank. Now it's leaning more towards a mixed reef. I feed pretty heavy and my bio load is huge. I do 30 gallon water changes every two weeks, recently switched from IO to tropic Marin pro. Here's some pics!

Here is my update. Looks like a little growth and some blue is starting to show nicely

The branch sticking out to the left is completely new growth

here's mine from last week.. the blue is coming out, but the frag seems to be more interested in growing sideways, than up and coloring up - that, and my f'n turbo snail (size of a golf ball) keeps knocking the frag over into the sand.. :(

Been super busy with work. I'll get my updated photo in this week. I've already got some decent growth.
