Battlecorals Vivid's Rainbow Acropora Grow Out Contest - Official Entries Thread

Today's status after 4 months
Only issue for me is the height measurement, lol.
My frag is not shrinking, but the encrusting on the plug is getting thicker so I'm loosing my reference point.

Anyways, growing obviously great from this plain stick !!!!

2nd to last update. Color is starting to get better and better and growth seems to be pretty good right now on it. When I look back at the day I got it I am happy to see how it has progressed. I got a touch more vertical growth.

Tried to get a top down.

Here is my June entry. exactly 20 days until my final 6 month pic. So far vertical growth is looking to be at 3/8"

Nice update! I don’t think any of the encrustment counts though. You have to set the ruler on top of the plug like the first pic.

No doubt, I actually thought it was, perhaps I put up the wrong pic. Either way it will be for the final.

Was going to take my June photo of my very slow growing frag when my acro/milli killing goby was caught in the act.

I can just see a little bit of green coming so I maybe it's starting to color up

June entry, I need to go back through and figure out when I started and do some comparisons.

System has been all over the place and it seems like every time the frag finally starts settling in I end up moving it

June entry. Fortunately, this isn't the last one.

Final check in. No ruler. I didn’t achieve much upward growth, just encrusting and making new branches. I have been fighting nutrient issues so my color never got quite “got there”. This has been fun though and it would be awesome to see how these continue to grow and color up!

Well S%#^. As I was returning from Mexico last night, I realized I had forgot to submit my picture. I realize that I missed the deadline by a few hours, grrr but If I start something I always finish it. Sorry about the morning hyper blue. In summary, the coral had encrusted very well w/o much vertical growth. There is the beginning of multiple little branches. I will finally place it in the Reef and off the Frag Plug. I will continue to post growth pics here. FWIW.

Here's my 11 hour late June entry pic. Hard to hold the ruler steady and take a decent pic at the same time. Still no vertical growth.

I realize im a few days late, unfortunately i got stuck out of town longer for work than expected.

Not that it matters because this thing has done nothing for me but encrust!

Here's my end of contest pic.

What the heck is snakeJacques feeding his frag?
How high/low is it sitting under what Type of lights. Flow. Special dosing patterns. Miracle-Gro? One impressive frag What does the rest of your tank look like.
