[kingrb]

Really? bleached is death right?
I already cut up the Staghorn.

Move it into low light and see if it comes back...

 

[jkinros]

How close was the ss to the stag

 

[kingrb]

could be. :dontknow: need to get a test or two.

Could be low Alk and thats a test you don't have.

stop by for a replacement on the house. you are one of the people really pushing for the contest and rules. Would hate to see you miss out.

6 or more from the part of the stag that bleached. Why does that crap have the potential to be airborne well waterborne?

not to get back in the contest... but to have

 

[Aquarium In Motion 1]

I post a poll for all to vote yes or no back in the contest. relize he will be behind about a 1 1/2 week worth of growth. It will be a fresh cut.

 

[5ft24]

Doesn't matter, rules are rules... It doesn't say if it dies, bleaches etc that you get a do over...
go back and re-read them.
MikeEe, care to comment on this???

 

[5ft24]

BTW, do we all get fresh frags and a do over if ours dies??? or only your friends that you WANT to win???

 

[jaypainter24]

Stop on in Kingrb for a frag if you in or not.

 

[jaypainter24]

I have only meet kingrb once, when he picked up the frag. I thought it was a kind thing to offer. Didnt mean to offend anyone here.

WOW try to do a nice thing and get called out. I see why we lost a great MOD here.

 

[5ft24]

never said replacing his frag was a bad thing, but replacing it and saying he's back in the contest goes completely against the rules.
Just because you are a sponsor doesn't mean you get to run things the way you see fit...

relax Dave, these are meant to be fun. You act like you have the kids college fund riding on the outcome

I don't care if I win or not, but if someone isn't being held to the rules of the contest, then what's the point? it's no longer a contest.
as I said earlier, if all 14 of the frags die, do we all get replacements and start the contest over, or do we all play by the rules?
Getting a replacement frag is great, but there isn't a contest "Do-Over".
with the different rules applying to everyone, it's starting to get closer to RC here...

Drama!!!

maybe it got stung from something in the same area. Or maybe you poured chems at that spot.
I usually try to overanalyze things so I don't do something I could've prevented if I only knew...

I hope I win! I hope my frag colors up! I hope I don't mess up! If I do, I hope I get a replacement. That should be good, right?
All I wanted was to do something to get me back into my tank. I'm gonna play by the rules and hope that people do the same and hopefully I get to learn something new. Bragging rights and side bets aren't so bad either.:evil:

 

[EyeReef]

Jason your very kind to replace Richard's frag. Thank you for that, that's great customer service. Richard sorry about the frag. But I did put up the rules and Dave has a point. Dave please pm me next time to avoid any of this. Richard you are more than welcome to progress your frag here. Because after all, this is a learning experience for all. But since it is a competition as well, you can no longer win the "crown" of sps grower :laugh:. Dont worry guys, at the end of this competition, everyone will be a winner in SCR's book!!!:top:

 

[zigginit]

man is it getting a little hot in here or is it just me?

 

[MikeGilliland]

what kind of skimmer you running?
