Possible Battlecorals Grow out contest!

[BiGGiePauls33]

How long is the grow out usually for? I'd be interested in taking part.

This is my first rodeo as well, but I was thinking we could do it for one year from the time that the frag is received.

That's how it always worked. A year is more than fair.

 

[Tompickles]

Sounds fun I’ve never done a contest like this. I’d be interested

This is gaining momentum i love this! 1 year the moment everyone receives the frag.

@Battlecorals
I’ve always wanted to try to grow a Tenuis (I think) acropora

Abro is a real skills tester, getting it to color is a whole different task

 

[ajjw0828]

I'm in for sure!

 

[LaxFrags]

10/10, cannot get mine to color. Growth is vastly encrusting to nearly 4" in diameter but it's just a biggo green blob and a 2" totem pole.

What does it take for this thing to get purple!?

 

[Millimylilly]

I’m in

cool! yeah, the Tree is on the list for sure, and it's really, super hardy now. Been with me about 9 years now and a few generations deep now in my own facility. I have a list of about 7 or 8 now that would all make great contestants.

The one real snag with picking possible contenders is that I need a couple of larger well-established colonies that I can get 25-50 frags or equal size from. This eliminates a lot of the super high-demand "high-enders" unfortunately. But the good news is I still have a trove of super impressive-looking long captive pieces to pull from.

We will NOT repeat NOT, be growing out frags off some super finicky wild colony, fresh off the boat.


I will have a list of contenders this week guaranteed, but I think I will start a new thread in my forum. We'll have to establish some basic rules as well. I am very ok with using the last grow-out as a model for this one as it went quite well.

 

[Williamson’s Reef]

I’m in.

 

[IslandLifeReef]

This sounds great. I'm planning on being in if I can get a spot quick enough.

 

[metzer]

bleeding tree sounds like a good one. When i order my battlebox, for whatever reason that is the one that did not make it.

 

[Camaro Show Corals]

I have bleeding tree coming already from another vendor unfortunately so hopefully we pick a few others.

 

[Grey Ghost]

I’m game...the last BC grow out contest was fun!

 

[Diesel48]

Sounds like fun!
