Chicagoreefs zoa growout contest Sponsored by Colormecoral

[EyeReef]

CONTEST WILL OFFICIALLY START APRIL 11, 2011 AND END July 11, 2011.
John at Colormecoral has offered to donate the grow out frags. This will include 1 polyp of the purple death paly mounted on a frag plug.
Sample photo of purple deaths

He will cut them and mount them on frag plugs for us. Each frag plug will have a number and each person will be randomly assigned a number. Whatever number you get, you will get that frag. He will also hook us up with very nice frag packs for the winners. The frag pack will be announced once we have the official number of participants. Cost to play is 15 dollars. Pay when you pick up the coral. All the money will go toward the prizes. A red hornet is guarantee in the prize pool!!!!

The contest is simple, the person who ends up with the most zoas/paly at the end of the contest will be our winner. If there is a tie, there will be a random drawing to pick the winner.

Simple rules to follow:
1. Must do a quick writeup of their system
eg. size, flow, light, placement of the zoos, coral food, fish, etc
2. Must document with photos the progress of the zoas on a biweekly basis.
3. No cheating. If your zoa dies, you are out.
4. Have fun. This is friendly competition amongst all us local reefers.

Not following the rules can cause you to be disqualified with no refund

Melting is the #1 reason to use VC.

[EyeReef]

I will give it a week or so to allow people to sign up. Frags were cut today and mounted on frag plugs. This will allow time for the frag to heal as well. When are you transferring?

 

[SaylorsReef]

We'll call yours the Meltaways!

 

[SaylorsReef]

PU will be at John in Lockport & my place or another central location if needed. You definitely have to be a registered user to participate because you need to update photos of your frag here
