badxgillen Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 So I am sure many of you are going to wait until the last minute to post the final entry to get maximum growth for the allotted competition time. That being said tonight at midnight is the DEADLINE! Here is my last picture post, as you can see there are almost 12 polyps but they are all closed up now and looking downright shabby...At least I made it to the finish line though.

Sharklover Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well looks like I’m out. I was doing great but this last week my zoas disappeared from their plug. Have been searching all week for them. Nothing. [emoji53]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badxgillen Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 Well a big kudos to those who were able to hang onto those polyps these last few months and grow them out, they were a finicky bunch at times weren't they. On the final roster we had... Emerald 4 - 11, JMurray 5 - 7, Badxgillen 5 - 12, LewisFishermana 4 - 8, PDXmonkeyboy 4 - 11, Kev311 4 - 22, Jeremyeveans 6 - 12, KristenHerr 2 - 5, I will back rack some and double check but it is looking like the first place and grand prize goes too Kev311 With second/Third place tied by PDXmonkeyboy and Emerald. Congratulation too you all, anyone who still has their frag is a winner in my book. Thank you all for playing along with us, as always it was fun and insightful, until next time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremevans Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 So... @kev311 what's the magic to get explosive growth like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev311 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 So... [mention=13331]kev311[/mention] what's the magic to get explosive growth like that?To be honest all I did was just regular water changes and tank maintenance, I use red sea pro salt and feed rods.

I'll probably have to buy some sometime. Along with fluconazole and Vibrant. Can you tell I have algae issues? Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMurray Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Based on the above list, the winning order would be. 1- Kev311 4 - 22 2- PDXmonkeyboy 4 - 11 2- Badxgillen 5 - 12 4- Jeremyeveans 6 - 12 5- LewisFishermana 4 - 8 KristenHerr 2 - 5 JMurray 5 - 7 PDXmonkeyboy, Badxgillen and Emerald525 tied for second. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are dying to spend money for a plastic bottle with the word nopox on it, you can simply mix 500 mls vinegar, 375 vodka and 125 RO/DI and tadah... NoPox. Also,Vibrant works AWESOME. I mean wow!! It will drop your nutrient levels, which is a win win depending on where you are at. Vibrant is a bacteria... it is not carbon dosing. It has a tiny bit of acetic acid (vinegar) in it but only for a preservative. cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for counting for me. I was staying out of the counting so there would be no hints of collusion. @kev311 your pick. @pdxmonkeyboy frag kit is yours since we have 2 Now we just need to wait on whether Bert since he he had me tied with pdxmonkeyboy I'm assuming he was going to pass.

You have a sweet prize valued at 80 dollars! Not a bad deal for a 30 dollar entry ! Mr.Brer has it at Paradise Corals. You can either pick it up there or have him ship it at your cost. @badxgillen next pick goes to you unless you pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked with Brian and he will keep the frag kit. Thanks Jeff for catching the gift certificate. As soon as Kev decides then next will be Jeremevans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
