Here are the rules copied from the Sign Up Thread:


- All participants must be paid members before receiving your coral
- Growout coral must be picked up in person at the December 2nd Elections Meeting. Exceptions can be made. Please PM me first.
- Post your setup, your tank maintenance and treatment of incoming corals
- Take a photo of the frag within 2 weeks of acquiring it, regardless of treatment administered and condition of the tank (No Photoshop)
- Make sure to count the number of polyps (babies included)
- Continue to monitor you system with bi-weekly or at least monthly photos of the coral and status updates and changes made to your system.
- At the end of the allotted time frame, we will judge the best grow out and declare a winner. The time frame will be 5 months, which will be around the May 2018 meeting.
- Since the frags may vary in size, the winner will be chosen by the percentage new growth
- Prize is $50 GC to the sponsor of your choice.
- Lastly, Have Fun! :D

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFICIAL GROWOUT THREAD. YOU CAN HAVE THE MOST GROWTH BUT WITHOUT MONTHLY POSTS, YOU WILL NOT WIN THE CONTEST.

Here is mine!
72 bowfront. Water changes every 3ish weeks. 2 black box leds with the plug about 12-15 inches from the water line.

No dosing, no special treatment with new corals.

Let’s hope my water lets it grow and multiply!

Starting count 1 head.

And to clarify we are doing number of heads on this one babies included. It says percentage of new growth but I think everyone started with one head. If not state that in your first post.

In case the other photos didn't work (I posted on tapatalk) It doesn't seem like you can view them on the forums.
