Battlecorals Bliss and Shag Priority discussion thread

Not sure exactly, dealing with some phosphate swings and low nitrates. Might frag what is left of it tomorrow.

Oh after you are done put whats left in a cup of water I saw a post on parasites just to see if anything come off it

So I received my Bliss yesterday and added a confetti to the box. Here are some pics.

Looks like I might be the first one out of the shag contest.

I lost a SCOP the other day and I don't know why. Everything stable and nothing odd about IC analysis.

Anyone seeing much encrusting/growth in the past few weeks on the bliss? Mine hasn't done much of anything in this short amount of time. At least I haven't killed it yet throwing it in a brand new system! Anyone else chime in with your experience so far in this short amount of time!

When I first got it...

Now this evening, polyps come out sometimes, not so much in this pic (approximately 3 weeks)...

Don't have the Bliss, but my Shag is about the same. I do notice some encrusting going on though. Not very shaggy!

My shag is doing well almost should be completely encrusted over the glue my the end of the month

 

[Mykesocalreef]

At work so no pic. My Bliss has grown over glue and on to the plug. Nothing vertical and zero polyp extension. Not dead yet so I'll take it!

 

[marlinmon]

Mine is encrusting as well:

Day 0

Day 19

My Bliss is encrusting a little. I'll probably post this as my March photo since it's been a month, and I don't expect much change in the next few weeks.

Hi everyone! I haven't forgotten about you. Been busy keeping track of shipments and dates and keeping my tank running. Had some issues with the tank last week but its leveling out. We have a total of 54 entries into the competition and 48 people posted entry photos. Not bad participation! Good luck everyone

Thanks for the update. I am assuming that this was broken into two contest. One for the bliss and one for the shag. If so can we get a break down of how many in each. I am in the shag and it does not steam like a lot of people have posted their 3 day pics.

Aaahhh!!! Corals are here! (In polyD voice)
Letting them temp. acclimate then will start dripping. Stuff was a little cool but I’ve been waiting so long! Adam also hooked it up with a freebie Joe knows.. rainbow.

I was out the door before the delivery lady even knew I stepped out so I may have startled her..

Also temps are in the 50s which is high for what they have been. Scratch that says 62 so I think today was a very good delivery day.

Couple pics right before I had to walk out the door.

6 paid but didn't set up shipment yet?

I'd be willing to jump in if it's possible. If not no worries.

Let me check with Adam

Don't get me wrong here please? But I thought I got into a grow out contest? The rules seem to keep changing. The rules are explicitly expressed on the first page. If people got their frags and didn't post? They are disqualified. And now we bring new people in when the rules said to pay by such a date? Seems rules are meant to be broken these days and they're not for everyone? If this is the way it's going to work I won't be involved in another one. Just my opinion.
