A little late getting started on this. Here is the first photo of my frags for the growout contest. These were taken on 11-18-2010.

I'm currently running a 29 biocube, with a stock return pump, MP-10 dialed way down, and the stock 150 hqi fixture with a 20k radium bulb. More details will be posted to my reef showcase (click Reef Info next to my name above).

I lost this frag in the first day or so. :(

Just noticed a bunch of new polyps on my growout frags!

I have 3 or 4 babies on the lunars, another couple gobstoppers, and I think 4-5 new polyps of green bay packers. :)

My devils armor is morning into a hot pink color too.

Will try to get some new pics up soon.

Very cool, looking forward to new pictures. I love it when the DA goes all pinkish and the skirts get all long and gnarly, looks pretty cool IMO.

[jimsflies]

I didn't get to my tank to take pics before the main light went off. However, here is an updated count:

green bay packers 14
skyhighs 8
eye of rah 8
devils armor 6
gobstoppers 2
lunar eclipse 4
purple deaths 3
keds reds 0

total polyp count 45

I admit I need to be more on this contest myself. I need to update the count. But I know I have lost about half the frags. Including the lunars. However, the half I have seem to be doing pretty well. I'll update the count later!

Looking for the first half of February's updates on the grow out contest if you could update your thread it would be appreciated so we can add your total to the leader board chart. Thanks! :highfive3:
