Why would we do 3 for $50? I only need 1 frag. I already spent $25 at Jason's. I'm gunna have to spend $50 more?? That sucks.
Pick up one of chads if you would like- nothing wrong with getting a nice frag for $10

3 sps frags for $50 and Reef Raft has a $200 gift cert he agreed to award to the winner-

Oooooook im confused..I'm not looking for a $10 frag to add to my collection. I'm looking for a $10 frag for the grow out contest.....thought that's what we're talking about.

I don't get why we started a grow out contest and 2 weeks later were starting another grow out contest?? Lol

Because some people (like myself) are not too interested in LPS or Zoas- and the SPS from reefraft is usually really nice.

sooooo the people who bought only zoas or lps benefit from others buying a dying/dead sps? not trying to cause trouble just trying to make sense of it.

It sucks that the SPS died, but also think of the TRFS point of view, it will put Jason's shop in a tough spot to re-cut all of the frags, reglue all of them and have everyone return again to the shop to pick up SPS. Would be nice to get a refund for the dead sps, again Jason invested time in picking out an SPS colony, cutting it, making frags and holding them for 2 weeks for us....

He will make it right if need be- but I am not going to pressure him into replacing my sps frag w/ the recent family loss he had.

I'd be down for a Reef Raft grow out, but the idea of spending $50 for browned out frags is a little unsettling. Reasonably healthy and colorful frags would be more ideal. Although, I do understand the objective of the contest is the transformation.

Wish I had known about this before I bought corals for the other grow out.
Anybody want my Lps and zoas from the other grow out?

$15??

I actually like browned out frags because you get the surprise of seeing what they turn into. Tony at reef raft knows SPS so I'd prefer him for the contest. anyone who enjoys and purchases SPS knows $50 isnt really that much.

I dont expect anything back either but i do feel i wasted $25. I'm sorry for jasons loss, but i think people should be able to get something else if they want it.

Same thing happened when I tried to do the Strawberry Shortcake grow out awhile back. Most died on the people, but a FEW did live. Nice job Jay stepping up offering the extra $50.
