omarortiz Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I think mine is done. I will check it out, but it looks dead to me. I guess it didn't like when my heater control broke and my tank got to 90 degrees. DOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramy Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ok well its alive but just by a hair I put a bigger light on and was not slow enough with the transition to the higher light levels and shock a few things mostly my corals that had green were affected. and this is just a shot to show that it is not dead yet I hope I make it to the end =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Thats awesome news-Please PM or text me the details of the so called "tricks of the trade" unless it involves a saw/bonecutters and glue (whistle) I'm giving myself the; the competition is to tough and my frag sucks anyway-(laugh) plus I moved it, its in a new tank-see the little guy, its not where it used to be-(clap) After I get DQ'd gimme a ring- Giving up Reefy? (nono) I have a feeling you will change your mind. You letting the competition and Jesse's pathetic grafted frag scare you..(scary) You moved it to a new tank but it is plumbed to the same tank also with LEDs so I don't think that matters but I will hapily give you the boot if you really want me to. I think mine is done. I will check it out, but it looks dead to me. I guess it didn't like when my heater control broke and my tank got to 90 degrees. DOH! It looked like it was hanging on by a thread! Fingers crossed Omar!

reefnjunkie Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I thought this ended in a month, but it looks like I was wrong as always. It was really a ploy to get Noob to PM me the secret elixir he is using-I'm off to the store this morning to pick some items-I hope they are not out of eye of newt-(scratch) Well at least the boot made a showing(clap) I'll have to see about getting a measurable pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobtoSalt Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 OMG I was right for once I can understand why your so afraid. When you have to compete against a huge nano cube.

Emerald525 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 August post Okay here's my August post because I'm afraid I'm going to forget and DQ myself!(laugh) Frag looks good but not much growth. It did get stung at the base a little by a Miami Hurricane chalice but seems none the worse for wear. And to dispel the rumors that a certain grand prize melted...(laugh) Here's an updated picture of the TECO watermelon!

NoobtoSalt Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Alright so here is my posting for this month. It's really hard to hold the camera and hold this heavy frag at the same time... I figured I would let the next growth photo be the tell tale of who's going to win. Now I just have to keep this thing alive and I've got it in the bag so far. Unless someone has been secretly growing another frag (whistle) Let's call this one 29mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islandoftiki Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Alright, here's my photos for this month... I'm going to say about 12mm total height now. That's two millimeters of vertical growth. Not much, I know, but this thing is trying to set some sort of record for encrusting growth. We're talking 18mm-20mm of encrusting growth. Color is great. Neon green. I can't wait to see what this thing does when it starts to grow upwards. The frag plug is annoying though. I should probably get a frag tree and move it to that since it really detracts from the otherwise natural look of the tank. So, that's about it. It's got good polyp extension, looks healthy as a horse and seems to be doing well overall despite it's vertically challenged nature.

Islandoftiki Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Well, at the rate mine is going, it's going to encrust the entire rock it's on, then it will be about 7 inches tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbird Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well I think the leporcy took my little guy :( I have not seen any polyp extention for a few weeks and it is more algea green then slimer green.

Your discription reminds me of an old Dr. Seuss book By the way those zoa's you brought me are doing great. They have very nice color paterns to them too.

reefnjunkie Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Noob your frag is certainly in a group of its own-you can read into that however you'ld like(whistle) It strange as hell IMO, great growth but strange as hell, from what I have seen or can tell yours is the only ne (besides the ones that died) that shows little no ecrusting while others encrusted before even starting to get any vertical growth. Mine as an example I had to move since it had encrusted the plug and was starting to attach to the rack. Great job (icon) If you have any others acros are they doing the same or is this a freak of nature as I called it, or did I call it an Obamanation-(scary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a bunch of frags a couple weeks back from madmike so I will keep an eye on them and watch the growth patterns. I'm no longer running a skimmer in the tank since it didn't do much for me anyways and very limited livestock so maybe that's what it is? Really have no idea but I'm really looking forward to seeing that chalice in my little cube next month..(whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
