We will be getting pics of several Zoanthids to vote on between $25-$40. Whichever Zoa is gets the most votes that will be the entry cost. All of that money goes to the Zoa provider. You keep your frag at the end. So if you win or lose you still have a very expensive polyp and hopefully it is much larger. Prizes to be announced soon ( anyone who wants to donate frags or other reef related items let me know.

The criteria for the choice of Zoanthids: it must be named, colorful, able to provide at least 12 "SINGLE" polyps and be between $25-$40. I am working with a sponsor right now and should have some pics soon. Plan on picking up the Zoa at the winter meeting. If you can't make the meeting I live in Leesburg you could pick it up at my house after the meeting as long as I know to bring yours home. I could drive a bit to meet you in NOVA Remember I will be at this meeting most of the day and do not look forward to driving all over the place to deliver a polyp to you. Try to make the meeting or have someone from your area, arrange to pick it up for you and you can pick it up closer to your house. This is alive, please don't kill it on day one. You will not get your money back. First 12 Members get in. I will update this thread as participants sign up. Follow this thread. Toward the begining of the contest I will make a new thread for the duration of the contest. To sign up just respond to this thread with I'm in. first come first serve. Please do not sign up if you are not serious. If you have questions post them here.

 

Thanks Dan

It's a death match, LMAO. However last round the winner was the only member running T5's. The rest of us, I believe were running LEDS. That being said we post our setups and tank parameters in the begining and the end (voluntary). It would be interesting to see if the winner again was running T5's.
