    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).

    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.
    I collect PEs, and I'm always looking to trade for ones I don't have yet.

    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!
