Official: SCR SPS growout contest

Just reading the rules. pretty easy thing to do. Reading that is.
the last fish that died in your tank left me in charge. :elefant:

Ummm... there is nothing about placement in the rules...
besides, who died and left you in charge?

 

[kingrb]

no worries, MikEe simplified it for people like you. :congrats:

it says me must post pictures here... it doesn't say this thread, which to me means just post on Socali reefs...
MikeE needs to clarify.

Dude, don't take a reef central attitude.
It was called SARCASM.
"Kingrb". "Who died and left you in charge"
Kings aren't elected, they succeed power when the last one dies...
Guess it's a good thing I didn't decide to be a standup comedian...

 

[kingrb]

no offense intended. just joking around. sorry if you took it as me being a jerk.

I really like this idea, I have never seen anything like this. hopefully next time my tank will be set up.

 

[jkinros]

This is very entertaining. Hope everyone plays nice.
On a serious note, do we try to be all secret squirrel about our plans with the frag or is this going to be a friendly teach everyone how to grow competition?
Would be nice to get some tips and tricks from the pros.(jay tell us about your tricks!)

 

[kingrb]

i figured it would be share tips and help others improve. I figure the ones with the high speed gear with all the gadgets (auto doser, auto topoff, reactors, etc...) would be the one's that make the top three for growth. good to see some Members with all LED lights to see the growth for those lighting systems.

You never know who's gonna be up there, the ss may like 1 tank better than the next. Some frags i get that are "slow growers" take off in my tank and not my buddy's tank, and vice versa for the "fast growing"
My opinion, if it likes your tank, it will grow. (but i'm pretty new to this)

Does anyone have pics of their GO frag with polyps out? mine has not looked happy at all...

 

[zigginit]

no polyps here yet

 

[kingrb]

none yet. i have some SPS that grow and some that don't so hopefully the ss will like the tank.

Maybe over time, there could be a data base as which water conditions yield the best coral growth( ie SS-1500 magnesium, Hawkins Encinata- 1700 magnesium...) Maybe encinata's in general like higher magnesium or LED lighting, so on and so forth.

 

[jkinros]

Has anyone seen polyp extension on their SS GO frag. Please post pics.

 

[loppnessmonsta]

The base of mine looks like it might be starting. I did get a lil more red on the top of mine. Who knows it might be coraline cause its dead yay $25 rubble rock

 

[travisw30]

If its dead bring it in and I'll get you another one. YOU were the first person to pickup and first choice. Check your water parms. as you are the only one to lose it, or have it RTNing.
