If you have been following my 29 gal build you know I a boat load of pogostemon stellatus octopus every week. I will be holding a RAOK contest for 2 weeks to see who get some octo

This is going to be a picture based RAOK.
Rules
1. You have to have at least 50 posts at the time of posting to qualify
2. You have to post a picture of your tank the octo will go in
3. You have to live in the US (sorry international members)
4. You have to provide some type of background on your tank. This can include lighting, co2, ferts, inspiration, etc
4. I will pick 2-3 winners based the picture you post. Ties will be broken based on the tank background.

Each winner can expect ~12 stems(They may or may not have roots, but should root very quickly when planted.)

This contest ends in 2 weeks on December 31st and winners will be notified on the first day of the new year.

Winners will be pmed, then announced on here, and plants will be shipped after January 4th.

I will be charging an $8 fee for shipping+heat pack. You get the plants and insulation for free. If you want a second heat pack it will be $10.

Shipping via USPS 2 day priority.

Good luck everyone!

Plants were VERY healthy and packed extremely well.

Great job shipping!
 
I would love to have some onto in my high tech nano!

Background:

Finnex Stingray Cliplight (Running 8 hours a day)
No algae
Dose API Co2 Booster and have the substrate pumped with root tabs

Lots of RCS

So that's my tank, hope I qualify! Good luck to everyone else!

I would enter but we've blown all our aquarium budget for a while up here! (Otherwise I would have bought some of your plants ages ago!)

Good luck to Nils and Unstopabullfish!

If you save some of those multis I'm sure we could work something out ;)

Nils is the only person entered in the contest as if right now.

They have a new spawn! If I could just get them out of the tank I'd rear them myself :facepalm:
 
How did I miss this? Center to right is going to get filled in. Didn't even finish the planned scape and rescaping! I think the pogo octo will look great across the back. Pretty sure the loaches and shrimp will be thrilled.

The current plants love the co2 and PPS-Pro. I think it'll be interesting to find out what dosing levels I need to cut back to in order to coax red out of the octo.

You could call it high tech, but I think it grows like a weed. I'm tempted to try it outb in my 20L low tech.
