Missed last month because I was at NTC, and when I got home this guy was Super white. Nitrates bottomed out while I was gone. Slowly starting to get some color back but lost out on about two months of growth. Some of the other Acros look great and about half look like . No filter, April, Colliderscope.

This thread is for posting monthly pictures in the Colliderscope Grow out competition. And other shenanigans...

This thread will be used for monthly submissions of your growing frag progress!

THE RULES - Please read as some have changed from the previous contests.

Rule 1: Competition will last for One Year from the date you receive your contest frag.

Rule 1.2: The official first month will be August

Rule 2: The initial submission (baseline) must be measured on the included frag plug, with the official ruler next to or behind the plug, within 7 days of receipt.

Rule 2.1: The initial submission will also be your first months pic as well.

Rule 3: The last submission must be within 365 days of your first official entry.

Rule 3.1: As a general rule, there should be a total of 13 pics (12 monthly pics and a final pic) if you do not miss a submission.

Rule 4: The provided ruler must be against your frag for every months’ submission photo.

Rule 5: A picture must be submitted by the end of the month, every month. The last calendar day of each month is the absolute deadline, local time will be considered valid for deadline purposes. I have given a little leeway on this in the past, but we have four organizers this time around, and so for consistency, there will be no deviation.

Rule 5.1: Optionally your monthly submission may be accompanied by your current water parameters, par readings, or any other you deem pertinent to the growth of your contest frag.

Rule 6: After the baseline photo, you can remove the coral from the plug and mount it anywhere that you choose. If placed on a disk it can be moved around the tank. I encourage experimentation with placement as no two frags will grow the exact same, and some can be so picky that a half an inch makes a difference between no growth and explosive growth.

Rule 7: You may take up to 2 months 'off' without submitting a photo, PM your contest lead if you would like to request this.

Rule 7.1: The "months off" cannot be the first or last month's submission.

Rule 8: When submitting your entry, please tag @Reefing102, @Jasonak, @Mschmidt, and @Troylee or use the hashtag #b#battlecrewo that we may not it in our records.

Rule 9: In the event you change your screen name from the one listed below, please contact an event organizer to make the change official in our records.

Feel free to PM any BattleCrew Member or @Battlecorals with any questions regarding the contest.

I don’t see any mention of 2 months removed you from the contest here either.

Hey for anyone not getting PE and weird growth and color I recommend researching a milbemycin treatment.
This was one of my most dramatic turnarounds after 4 doses in consecutive weeks. Make sure to check that out . I worked with a local “exotic” vet for the prescription. She didn’t even charge me a consult fee.
#battl#battlecrewrrrpppllllleee tips!

Adam had the cool idea of doing a contest/giveaway in the Spring growout for best growth in the first month. I believe he will announce the winners on Friday or Saturday.

But what about us you say ? We the unsung hero's of the Summer growouts who have been battling in the trenches for months ! Well good news, we have had a super secret contest going on in these summer growouts behind the scenes also.. The Battlecrew has been working with old recently discovered sketches from Nikola Tesla, engineers from Oak Ridge Laboratories and using recent photos from the Artemis launch to develop the grading scale for this contest.

So with out further ado the winner for Colliderscope gift card is .... @skey44

Additionally one more prize will be given out to the first person to correctly guess how/why the summer growout contestants were selected for this giveaway.

Edit: It was brought to my attention that I need to make it clear this is the winner for the secret giveaway not the actual growout contest :)
