Well for better or worse, I got my order placed for the 6 piece upgrade. Weather dependent my new tank should be here next week and then everything transfers over probably about the same time these start shipping out. I’m crossing my fingers here!!

dang!!! I really wish I could enter this! But I actually got a battlebox about 3 weeks ago and I specifically asked for Rainbow's army, so I already have it. Is it possible to still enter? I've barely had it a few weeks, I'm sure it's a comparable size. Happy to take a pic with a ruler. Let me know!

At Midnight, January 15th, 2023, I officially invite you all to join the BattleCorals 2023 Grow Out Contest.

First, a correction and an apology on my behalf. Initially, I wanted to make this as accessible as possible to everybody, this included financially. I offered entry plus entry kit at 125 with free shipping. I am sorry to have failed you on that aspect, and though I wished to make it happen even up until my post today, I was unable to make that a possibility. I take responsibility for that, because I was told as near as a week ago this wasn't feasable, and I made no correction. Please accept my humblest of apologies, and thank you to @LOVEROCK who reminded me that I should have come forth on this oversight sooner.

Our current winning selection, by a wide margin, is the Acropora Sarmentosa called Rainbow's Army!

Official Rules

All entry submissions must include a clear photo of the Rainbow's Army frag, next to the included BattleCorals Official Measurement Tool. Entry should also include water parameters of Salinity, Calcium, and Alkalinity, optional parameters of Nitrate, Phosphate, and Magnesium may also be included for completeness.

Entries must be submitted before the end of the month, each month, beginning in April.

Two non-consecutive months may be taken without an entry. If you plan to miss a month, notify me by PM @StatelineReefer by the 15th of that month to avoid the reminder.

I will remind entrants that have not submitted their offical entries by PM on the 21st of the month.

An initial 'Zero' measurement must be registered within 7 days of recieving the frag.

If your frag does not survive the initial 7 days after recieving, please contact Adam @Battlecorals, and pending availability, a replacement will be issued, or your entry will be shifted to the round 2 runner up event, entirely at the discretion of Battlecorals.

Entry Fee is $125.00 USD
Shipping will be $35.00 and includes:

one (1) Rainbow's Army frag.

one (1) Custom Ruler for measuring official entries

There will probably be more goodies in your box as well, but you can guarantee that with an Add-on package!

All add-ons will include the Rainbow's Army Grow Out Contest Tee-Shirt.

-For just $225 more ($350 total) you can upgrade your entry with an additional 5 corals, for a total of 6, this will ship free!

-For just $325 more ($450 total) you can upgrade your entry to an 8/10 piece battlebox! that's 7 to 9 more frags sent along with your entry frag, also includes free shipping!

And you can contact Adam when you submit your entry for the battlebox I'm calling the Impossible Choices collection, which is one of each of the corals voted on, Houdini, Rainbow's Army, Miss Scarlet, Reading Rainbow Tenuis, Space Laser, SWK Invalida, Greg C Efflo, and Corpse of Helltrollsman Man, an 8 frag pack for 499.00, entry included to either your choice of Round One or Round Two, shipping included, my gratitude included!

Post below to be entered into the contest, and be sure to select Round One or Round Two in your post. Round 1 will be Rainbow's Army, Round 2 will be the second place selected in the poll here:


Adam will send you a link to the special category for this entry.

You may add on any of the unique add-ons to make this an extra special deal.
I would like to join round 1 please
Thanks
Jeff

How do we avoid paying shipping if we have an order that’s waiting to be shipped?
Send Adam an email I’m sure he’ll sort you out.
Absolutely an Email! I'll also be sure to add that to my notes as well. Adam is not joking when he says there's a lot of things going on right now, and the smoother we can transition to the actual contest portion, the better.

That said, it's announcement time, See below.

The Contest Photo Submission page for Rainbows Army will be going live on February 1st!

Contest Rules, Entry Format, and Qualifications will all be posted in that thread!

Official Entries, except your initial measurement, will not go live until March 31st. This will give everyone plenty of time for their entry frag to settle in, there is no need to rush anything when it comes to growing coral.

IF you need advice on placement, lighting, water quality, or general husbandry, I advise you to take advantage of...


We can go in depth about best possible environment there!
