Grow out contest

[RUNVS]

Congrats @leahfiish you are now in charge of this haha.

 

[leahfiish]

Fine by me, I just really want this to happen.

 

[F.Q]

I would like to be added if there are any spot left.

 

[F.Q]

If there is any spots left I'm in.

 

[Dsnakes]

Hmm my alerts stopped for some reason, but I am caught back up!

In the process of creating a list of rules so we can have them all in one place and people can give input. And then I'll probably create some kind of form for everyone to fill out with tank parameters and contact info.

You can take a look at the rules we had for the last one had some good rules there.

What’s the verdict on the price ? Is one made yet

I am leaning towards $75 (for coral+prize+shipping), I think if we do $100 there will be less people participating. But if anybody has input I'd love to hear it.

75$ to join in a competition that builds the community and a chance to win 100$ (100 for 10 participants.. more people bigger prize obviously) and a nice (from what I’ve searched/seen) frag sure doesn’t sound like a bad deal to me. The point system doesn’t look bad, but for measuring a standard 12in ruler should be used for clarity. I’m not sure I’d participate for an arco because I don’t think I could keep it alive more then a couple weeks.

I think we need to get a limit on number of participants from Adam. There can only be so much coral.

He said it was a big healthy colony though, so assuming it can provide 30-40 frags, I think the $75 price point would be choice.

$75 sounds perfect to me!

I have never kept an Acropora in my own personal tank, but I have also never tried, I figure this is a good opportunity.

Yeah the number is going to be decided based on how many frags he can make, unfortunately there is a chance that some people might not make the cut.

 

[Maddlesrain]

How will we base whether or not people make the cut?

I would assume in chronological order.

 

[Maddlesrain]

I would assume in chronological order.

I think this seems fair. Whoever committed first should get first pick. If people don’t respond / claim their coral, then we move on to the next person.

 

[leahfiish]

I am leaning towards chronological. I'll also give up my spot if necessary.

 

[drawman]

I'm in if there is another spot

Very noble, but I feel you should participate. You started this and are now organizing the event.
You deserve to have a place.

 

[MTBake]

$75 is good for me. Might add a couple more pieces to make shipping cost more atrractive.

We'll see if there's any spots left. I am really not much of an sps person at all and I don't want to take away a spot from someone who really wanted it.
