Official Picture Entry Thread for BC Bonfire Grow-Out Contest

[reefrun]

May update! Grew 0.25” with decent encrusting

 

[marco fish]

May entry, please don’t scream at me for the rusty measuring tape, LoL but I wanted to get in on May pic. Happy Reefing

 

[Blitzie]

Been a rough month

 

[GaultBrew]

Need to get a new ruler for next month so that it can be seen better.

 

[BranchingHammer]

Last two hours to get those May entries in!

 

[Camaro Show Corals]

0.984 of a inch. Definitely started to encrust nicely and thicken up some. Hard to get a little more orange to show up in pictures

Well, I'm out.....lost most of my SPS after coming back from Vacation and the Bonfire was one of them. Po4 bottomed out apparently and I came back to a Dino outbreak that smothered most of my sticks. Only my Montipora Digitata survived. Back to the SPS drawing board. Ugh

Argh, sorry. It's been a few years but I had the same thing happen. My fault. I left behind old, faulty feeding instructions.

I'm almost a week late! I'm so sorry, it will not happen again. I'm not even going to give an excuse, I just forgot xD

So here's the little guy. He's grown about .25" and has encrusted over the edges of the plug! Sorry for the weird mounting angle, I should have thought that through better.
I'm excited to watch another month go by!

This is why you're allowed 1 missed month. Good luck with remembering the next 11

Here is my June entry. Exactly two months after receiving. Has nice color and still encrusting/getting fatter.

 

[IslandLifeReef]

Here is my June submission. This frag is drug free and is known to be from @Battlecorals ;Playful.

It has definitely encrusted more and has grown and thickened.

 

[ImaFlippinDolphin]

Getting thicker, not taller lol. June entry

 

[ReefBeta]

Here my June entry. Start encrusting well. But it's not getting taller ‍

Also took a short of it. Maybe by the end I can put together a growing time lapse video.

 

[ScottB]

Plan to take a measure again on Saturday. As usual, expecting an exponential result.

June 22 update:
moved higher in the tank, hopefully next month it will be in its final placement, Encrusted more but no noticeable growth upwards, maybe a little wider. Polyp extension is good. If you look close there is some tissue loss, unfortunate overspray from H2O2 to get rid of some algae growing on a frag adjacent…lesson learned. I’m not worried but thought I would share for transparency-sake! Best of luck everyone!
