Yep like the title says. I am throwin down the gauntlet for a challange,
Heres my deal for Two takers. My discretion for choosing Two opponants.
No offense to any newbies or old schoolers a like but I hear so many aksing about growth rates on Zooanthids and I want to start a chart of some actual numbers for about a 3 month study.
- I will provide the frags of three different zoos all pulled from their same respective mother colonies. Ill mail them at expense of the challangers to the 2 other participants. Bout 20 bucks for shipping. Free frags for the race but your paying shipping.
-Participants must be proficient in picture taking and have an established tank.
-Fragging Participants should be proficient in cutting and glueing frags as so when we officially kick it off we can each glue a set numbers of heads to a completly new frag or plug and have everything as even as possible for the control data. Taking the heads from the frags I provide about a week after they recieve them and we agree on starting counts and so on.
-Lighting doesnt matter but It would be good to have one of each.
Metal Halide only - Compact flouresent only - and T5 only
-Frequesnt this site so they can give at least weekly updates with pictures and head counts.
All this is on the honor system for participation and counting growth. I dont know how fair it will be since each person will have different lighting but we will cross that bridge when we get to it. This should put some data out there for all those that keep asking.
Might have 2 from each class of lighting participate? I am open to suggestions from the Gallery on how they want to see it go down. :thinking:
Whos up for it? Respond in this thread if you meet the criteria for the race and feel up to being in contention for selection.
Please include your lighting and tank size and age.
