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.
