So I see in the past all the grow outs are usually sps based.

Anyone interested in a non sps grow out. Thinking something like some cool zoa or chalice, or cool LPS war coral or some sort idk just throwing out ideas to get some more people involved and keep this great group we have here active.

Since zoas are one of the few things I've been able to grow, I wouldn't mind trying one of those for a contest. Could be fun.

I guess we should find out what everyone is comfortable spending on a frag as speckled kraks are not cheap lol

Decide on the below
1. Number of ppl, start a list
2. How much is per person.
3. which coral to go with
4. Prize for the winner ( top 3 ? top 2 ? ) ( have to set aside some money from the initial pot say $50 entry $35 goes to frag $15 goes towards Prize)
5. Growout time
6. How the winner is choosen
7. talk to vendors ( or supporting vendors of CR) to see if they would sweeten the prize pot with some coral or equipment if bought from them )


Speckled Kraks is a great idea as its one of the must have zoas but yes entry price would be higher around $85 - $90 id say if i have to run the grow out :) ..depending on how many i might be able to provide :D if this is the choice

I think this is a great idea. I don't have a reef so I can't participate but will support you guys however I can. Just let me know what you need from me.

Thanks

I've done a couple zoa grow outs. They are fun. Way easier (to me at least) to decide who wins. When doing a growout for SPS, growth is very minimal. At least with zoas, you just count heads. Usually the ones I did were $15-$20. Usually 10 for the frag then the winner got like $100 depending on how many people entered. Usually we did something like bam bams or sweet looking no namers so the price wasn't high. Basically just find an awesome looking colony of zoas. Have someone frag it to 1 polyp per plug, let them heal for a week, pick up and grow. 1 month - 2 month time frame is usually good enough.

Hope I'm not imposing but I figured a local farmer would be better then risking ordering online.

So I talked to Justin from ReefNation (he's a local farmer out of St.Charles) and he said he'd be willing to help. He would make single frags and pick up could be at his place.

Here are frags he could for us.

$10 PP
Blue Hornets, blow pops, Tubbs blues, Shannon watermelons or la lakers.

$15 PP
utter chaos, sunny d, or bam bam.

Then whatever the entrance fee would be.
