1. Must post a clear picture of frag by the 15th of each month until the contest ends. Picture must have open polyps to show that it is the rainbow hornet frag.

2. You must state your polyp count when putting up your monthly post.

3. Your first picture post of your frag must also show us a full tank shot and answer the following questions (so 1 pic of your frag and 1 pic of your tank):

· What size is your tank?

· Sump – yes or no?

· Refugium - yes or no?

· Lighting? T5, LED, Metal Halide, or what type of hybrid

· Skimmer – yes or no?

· Water changes – yes or no? how often?

· How many fish do you have?

· Do you specifically feed your coral?



4. If you miss posting a picture for the month, you are disqualified. We are asking for a total of 6 pictures (2 for the first post, and 1 a month until the contest ends) so it is not a lot to do to win an AWESOME frag pack.

5. Winners will be required to a do small write-up on their tank and their techniques (did you feed, what did you feed, lighting cycles, water changes, etc..anything that may have had an effect on your success).

6. 2 Winners – Grand prize winner will receive a $200 frag pack. 2nd place will receive a $100 frag pack.



Feel free to post more than 1 picture however the official picture is the pic posted on the 15th.

Have fun and stay REEFY!

Two polyps. I have them in my old coral qt which has recently been converted into a nano. It's a Fluval 13.5 with LEDs. I will be getting the skimmer soon but right now it just gets 3.5-5g water changes. There is only one fish in there somewhere, a green clown goby. There's only one hermit too. If I left anything out let me know and I'll make the amendments.

One polyp here. Grow baby grow! For now it is in my frag tank but may switch over to my display based on growth in the next few weeks.
Frag tank is 34G Deep Blue all in one. I have a Tunze 9001 skimmer that runs about 50% of the time. For lighting I have two black box LEDs and 2 t5ho retro fit in a custom hood. Water changes....sometimes but not frequent. Ato with kalk. A pair of clowns and a yellow eye kole tang and some cleanup crew. If I switch to the display tank I will post details. I took my polyp off the frag plug and transferred to a 4" x 4" tile.
