SPS Grow-out Contest Frag Price

[BST310]

Want to tag team this with Jose and get things rolling.

First thing is to determine what everybody would be comfortable with spending on a frag to enter? Keep in mind, there will be a cost tied to the coral, meaning not all of this amount will go to the pot, so we want the budget to be reasonable. When we settle on a price more details will follow.

Considering capping this at 30 people unless we have overwhelming interest over that. Open to ideas and suggestions.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks for putting this together!

I really enjoy these growout comps. It's been a while. Thanks Ben and Jose for getting this going.

How will the ratio of coral/pot be decided? A percentage or what? EX: $50 vote above breaks down to $40 frag and $10 pot?

I would be in for $50, or whatever it ends up.

I wish I could get in on this one but my tank and corals just aren’t ready. I’ll be in on the next one. Plenty of reef karma to Jose and Ben and to all that will participate.

Exactly, once we determine a frag price, we can choose a piece and then establish the breakdown. This will be very clear and transparent to all participants. Hopefully we can shoot for a better ratio then that but that will be determined on the piece chosen / price set.

sounds fun, good motivation to get the tank back in shape... just curious, Any idea of duration ?

 

[Smite]

I feel like they usually go around 6 months or so. Maybe a year if we really wanted to see some growth

would be cool to see a 6m and 1 yr.
Maybe like 1/4 pot 6th month and 3/4 pot at 1 year.

 

[Enmity]

50 would be cool- rather something I want to grow out and keep.

 

[Dipan00]

Im in for $50. Lets get a cool piece for the grow out.

Also if you need coral I have a pretty good size CC Voodoo Majick I can chop up.

 

[BST310]

I think 8 months to year would be a good time frame to see some real growth. As long as contenders are ok with a year I am game. I like the split prize idea too.

That would be a good one! Keep that in mind this poll will end in 7 days we can figure it out then.

 

[Justkeepswimming]

+1 for voodoo, would like a frag. Maybe two grow outs.

 

[NickleCheese]

due to high inflation, $50 is good for me 😃

 

[Bighauck]

I’m in for anything under $100

 

[mattyzang]

i'm fine with any of these
