SLASH Coral Growing Contest: Paletta's Purple Porites

[Reeferhead]

Contest Start Date: 29MAR14
Contest End Date: 28MAR15

Frags must be picked up from me at the Spring Swap, no exceptions (blame Nook). Contest period is year. All participants are required to post growth shots every 3 months.

Smoothdog and Nanook have already claimed the first two frags. I have frags available for three more participants. Post in the CDP thread for this coral if interested. Posting in this RC thread or PMing me will not get you in the contest.

Real reefers eat bubble algae for breakfast.

 

[Reeferhead]

I use it as hops in my homebrew

 

[Reeferhead]

Lots of folk interested but I only have 6 frags. So I used total CDP points to determine priority. Here's who's in, make sure you pickup your frags before 2pm on Saturday or I'll give your frag to someone else

Nanook

Sorry I don't have enough frags for everyone but if your name isn't listed above check up with me after 2pm on Saturday to see if we have any no-shows.

Excellent! My first coral growing contest! I intend to win this one.

Slap, I guess I should have requested a spot further down on the thread.

 

[Reeferhead]

Sorry Kevin, we need some other members to step up and setup more growth contests. I'd like to get in on one too!

He may show up, but I say he'll forget his piece if not reminded a few times

Put it in a box that says chicken wings. No way he forgets it.

I'm new to this sps thing... Does this spot look good for a frag?

Does the light look intense enough? What about flow? Maybe I should take my water in and have it tested before we start.

Nope, that's a horrible spot. Put it down low under a rock where it will get almost no light. If you can find a spot next to some kind of soft coral that will gently brush up against it to give it reassurance it will do even better. :beer:

maybe ill put it next to this coral. It seems to be doing ok under the rocks where I cant get to it

 

[VSpeck]

Maybe ill glue it to this snail so it gets a varied diet of light and flow

Yeah, I can tell already that spot clearly doesn't have enough flow for this coral. I recommend supplementing with this. Add 1ml every minute, and make sure to manually stir in every dose vigorously.

Anyone else get a bonus mystery frag with their contest coral?
