Rok Citi Coralz Growout.
I just want to thank Kien from http://rocciticoralz.com/for helping us out with this growout and providing us with some gem chalice frags at great prices. I also want to thank everyone else that helped make this possible. And of course I want to thank R2R and Rev for providing this wonderful community where friends can be made and this beautiful hobby shared.

All of this depends on the frags being delivered safely within a week or 2. The official grow out will start then. I will be updating this thread frequently and new pictures will be posted of the frags at least once every 7-14 days to show the progress. I believe I have prepared for everything and anyone with information or advise is more than welcome to add to this thread. Comments are always allowed but please keep them positive, this is tough enough as it is. I promise to care for these frags to the utmost of my ability. I will be feeding, testing and overseeing these frags every day without fail and my communication will always be open. Members of the group buy have my email, phone number and address. You are welcome and encouraged to contact me or stop by at anytime (with a couple of hours notice:wink
to check out the frags or bring me food and gifts whenever you please:tongue:. I will not be taking any vacations this year and will always be at home. Feeding and dosing will be done precisely and with care every day. Water and media changes, as well as testing will be done weekly. As the growout progresses and chalices grow out, responsibility will be shared amongst the members tanks, to lessen the chance of any fatalaties. I believe I covered everything important but lmk if I missed anything. Any general information, updates and progress reports will be detailed in this thread. Subscribe to the thread and lets have fun! Thanks, Frank.
