Hey Noob, hows the freak of nature doing?

 

Your lucky it was vertical growth and not total growth-(laugh)

 

Lets just say there is a 4 at the beginning of the measurement...(whistle)

@Brad. Yes' date=' I thought mine was looking pretty good for the prize until I looked back futher and saw Jesse's evil monster. Great comment on Randy's measurement; made me lough out loud! Sorry Randy![/quote']

 

I'm not sure I'm ready to post up a picture of this amazing frag yet. I really feel bad that it's grown so much faster than everybody else frag...ok not really but i only have a few more days of smack talk.

 

Where is jdog at?(scratch)

I'm not sure if i should take that as a compliment or not..(scratch)

 

I'm used to the Reefnjunkie master growing things like crazy (rock2)

So this is a nice change. Now if i could only learn how to keep expensive fish..DOH!

Final post. I'm gonna say..(scratch) 18mm if the ruler as well as my frag were straight (or me for that matter) I would guess it would be 20mm:p but I will go with 18!:D

Guess I will post up mine now too since I'm going to get more growth on this little guy over the next few weeks for sure.

 

29 gallon biocube

Tunze 9002 Skimmer

Vortech MP10

Rapid LED lighting

Reefkeeper Lite Controller w/ ALC module

I think the first thread said we are supposed to post what we are feeding but I will wait until I get conformation on that before I toss out my secrets...(whistle)

 

This might be fun getting pictures since the shrimp was not happy with the ruler being in the tank.

 

Current growth 10mm or 1cm

Oh and I accept all challenges. This really isn't going to be a competition so you might as well just send that chalice over to my tank and let it reside in the winner's tank!! BRING IT ON!

 

Well I still stand behind my words in this posting on 4-24-12. Still haven't seen any challengers yet. I am however a bit dissapointed in the growth. I thought for sure I was going to have a 4 in first part of the number but I was mistaken...(sad) The frag is currently 39cm. That is a total of 29cm growth in the 4 months of having the frag. pretty sweet IMO. Sure I talked some smack but just like Brad has mentioned I've never had this much luck with growing SPS in the past. Always been more of a zoa and LPS grower.

Well, I thought I could compete against the steroid using frag (scratch), but since our forum doesn't test for performance enhancing drugs (scratch), I guess my all-natural frag will take a back seat.....

 

First pic at about 7cm...

IMG_2450.jpg

 

 

This month at about 28cm...

Not bad for a 4 month old system and zero growth the first 3 months. Noob would have had no chance if I had vertical growth in the first month, but congrats anyways. I'll cya at the next growout! (icon)(cheer)

Wow that's some amazing growth in a month! What kind of performance enhancing drugs did you use?

All-Natural....only vitamins and minerals. I was having some early issues with my tank's water, but once it was fixed, everything in my tank started growing like crazy!
