Who wants free coral!

[eric.battani]

Thats right i said free!!!!!!! So in spirit of trying to get more people actively involved in NARC, I would like to have a friendly contest for growing coral.
So I need everyone's input on the rules, timeframe, etc. I can supply the first round of coral frags. But i need to know how many to make. So who wants in?

Coral grow???

I love the idea! I have no issues getting my rear end kicked in a coral growing contest.

 

[Monkeynaut]

That would be fun!

 

[Tomoko Schum]

Sure, count me in. What type of coral do you have in mind?

 

[mlewandowski61]

[mlewandowski61]

[eric.battani]

I was thinking of a zoa or a paly

We have been doing this with Zoas at my local club WAMAS. It’s cool to see what the different parameters and lights do to the Zoas. The last challenge I was the big winner but I was the only one running T5s. This time there are a few more running T5. There’s one person running away with it this time that’s running LEDs. It’s a lot of fun.

Just make sure it is a zoa colony that I already have so mine can "grow" really quickly!

 

[eric.battani]

How about a jason fox rainbow infusions paly? I have enough of those to frag.


So rules...........?

 

[mlewandowski61]

That's cool zoa. Your idea so you make rule. We will follow

One tequila shot for every new head it grows! Last one walking at the first meeting after the contest looses!

 

[mlewandowski61]

How would we get frag?

 

[eric.battani]

How would we get frag?

Well we will all have to coordinate a pickup day, so that no one has more of a advantage over others. So we need to work out a pickup day for everyone.

Who all is competing? We need stats of your tank like lights, how long it's been running, filtration, supplements........., anything I may be missing?

Still need ideas on how to determine the winner? I was thinking of a point system. Color, growth, health......what else?

 

[beaslbob]

verdell would be interested in this.

 

[headdr]

Wow, your awesome, I'd be interested.

 

[knap_123]

I'd like to get in!

Will this be judged via photo's? That could make judging by color difficult. It is likely the best photographers would have an advantage. Of course, that isn't exactly a bad thing since I love looking at pictures of coral and don't mind rewarding those good at it.
