CONTEST WILL OFFICIALLY START: August 1st 2012 AND END November 1st 2012.

Cost to enter is $30 Pre-pay via Paypal Personal Gift (or cash if local). PM for PayPal info and to be added to the list.

Simple rules to follow:

1. Must do a brief writeup of your system (eg. size, flow, light, placement of the paly, coral food, fish, etc) with initial photo of frag in your tank.

2. Monthly updates with progress photos is encouraged, but not required. Extra updates are allowed for bragging rites!
***Members that post for all 4 check-ins (initial, 1 mo, 2 mo, final) may be eligible for an additional prize drawing.

3. No cheating. If your polyp dies, you are out. If your polyp comes free of your frag plug, it MUST be re-mounted to that same plug.
You CAN do as you like with your frag plug, stick it in the sand, cut the stem and glue on your rocks, all is fair in this regard,
but the disc of the plug and the polyp on it must remain intact.

4. Final Check-in is required ON TIME, with post time-stamp showing no later than 11:59pm on the last day of the contest.
***Failure to check-in by the deadline date, or not including photo with final check-in will result in disqualification.

5. In the event of a TIE at the final check-in, the winning members will go into a "sudden death" race.
The first member to grow an additional polyp on their frag, and post a picture clearly showing all polyps will be the winner.
This will continue unil there is a clear 1st, 2nd, 3rd place winners for the contest.

6. Members are encouraged to actively participate in the grow-out thru this thread. Possible additional mini-contests or surprise
announcements may be posted during the comeptition that will give members opportunities to win additional prizes.

*** Please direct any questions, comments or concerns directly to me via PM to discuss.
*** Thank you!
 
I'd like to join but all depends on where pickup for frag is and when it starts

Pickup will be in Streamwood typically. There may be days when I will be out at LFS like AquaPros a little further east and can arrange to meet people there. Or if we arrange a burbs meet and eat, I can bring some frags with for people going to the meet.

We can discuss shipping for an extra cost, but you will take the risk if you lose your polyp in transit, there will be no DOA protection.
 
Not that a drive to Streamwood is out of the question for me, but if you're going to be at AquaPros, I may have to meet you there. It's only 10 minutes from the house - That's kinda dangerous!
 
I would be driving from Kenosha so if anyone near the WI/IL boarder wants I could pick up for you and then we could meet up for a drop off.
 
i can pick up for the south burbs. as long as you guys dont mind pickin up at my house ooorrr i may deliver if you have frags for delivery payment
 
Lol. I copied wrong pic. Lol. U can still buy em and pick them up from fishbeards on Wednesday. Maybe with you growout frag. :)
 
Pm sent. I am in for sure, but I would be deeply in debt to anyone that could ferry my piece north a ways. I could meet around Northbrook or Round Lake. LMK, thanks! (And thanks for the paly wrangling Beard)
