My Frag Entry, #20.   End of April photo.

(Still living on the same frag rack spot, in display tank.  - but Color is great this month)

** Who else has kept their frag alive this long?

Aprils entry.  Not the best pic, but still alive.  Got stung on the base by another frag, so hopefully it recovers

[503reefdroid]

I will be honest. My frag is still alive but I haven't had a lot of time to take pictures of it. By now I've missed a couple months now, I'm out of the race. 

Good luck to everyone still in the race.

I kept mine alive was doing well until I was dosing with All for reef that I mixed myself . (This was before the powder form was available ) and it lasts forever in a 25 lagoon . Happy it still lived after a massive alk shift

@Emerald525 are you saying it's still alive?   If so, shoot a picture.  We still want to see it

I would but it’s exactly the same as the last picture. It hasn’t grown at all since it was stressed. 
 

[obrien.david.j]

Okay crowd, I went through all the picture posts and summarized into this table.   We're down to the last month, we'll judge May pictures.

FYI, as someone running this, I'm not competing.

If you still have a frag alive, but have missed posted some earlier pictures - Please Post a May Picture.   You're out of the running for a prize, but we'd still like to see the final results.

If your frag hasn't survived, reply with that, and i won't look for a pict.

Thanks for sorting this out and help in running this. I’m assuming the yellow means we have qualified without a May picture?

[503reefdroid]

This is what my frag looks like. Doing my best but I'm not getting much growth or polyp extension like some of the other corals. 

[Emerald525]

Bump get your May posts in people !! I am also not in the running for the prizes as I am  the president of the club and it was fun to see if I could keep my little frag alive !

Yellow means qualified, awaiting a May picture.   it's just the beginning of May, I'd post the last picture closer to the end of the month. Maximum grow out time.

How is judging going to be? Just going by growth or color branching etc ?

Nicely done ! Since I’m too lazy to scroll through do you happen to have what your frag looked like originally?

[islandVib3s]

Mine is long gone unfortunately, but my tank has stabilized so I'm ready for the next one. Nitrates at 19 and phosphate at .11 as of 2 days ago!

Nice work ! Nice polyp extension. You MUST be an sps guy ! I hope the winners do a nice write up of what they do!

[mpfinnigan]

May pic.

Slow and steady.  Not much change yet.  However, other sps in my tank often sit dormant for 6 months then take off.

My Frag Entry, #20.   End of May photo

Frag continues to bump out, and fully encrust the plug. But It's not exploded in the last 6 months.

 

[obrien.david.j]

@J-Dog - you posting a May picture today?

[mpfinnigan]

Dang!  My frag RTN overnight.  Not sure why.   Other corals are fine, no change to the system recently.  Tested last weekend with normal parameters.

Lets see if the base will survive.

Oh No!   I've been there, it's no fun.
