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.

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.

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 :)

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!?

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.

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!
