BigRok Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I wanted to stay within the rules so I had already checked that part out. The "tank" holds 12 fl oz. Red Sea Nano filter holds just shy of 8 fl oz. I am excited to fill this thing. The scaping possibilities are almost endless! Or possibly limited to which direction I turn the rock... Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 The scaping possibilities are almost endless! Or possibly limited to which direction I turn the rock... I want to see this thing with a deep sand bed! And I guess I should ask, how many tangs are you planning to stock? Uh oh... Link to comment
BigRok Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I want to see this thing with a deep sand bed! And I guess I should ask, how many tangs are you planning to stock? Uh oh... Only two or three. But they'll be babies, so they have a while before they grow out of it! Link to comment

Veng Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I will tonight when I get home from work. Wait, so you are seriously going to set that up as your tank for this? o.O Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 So how many entries do we have now? Can I see the updated list? Thanks, MG Link to comment
got2envy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Mike...check the first page on this thread There are also hyperlinks to all the tank builds there. Thanks for sponsoring the contest! Link to comment
banshee Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I decided I wasn't happy with my scape so I ordered some different LR. I emptied the tank and put in a sand bed and then refilled. Now I just wait for my rock! I'm glad we have some time because I'll have to cycle a second time now. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think you should take out the best aquascape and the beginner luck catagories and make them second and third overall best. Link to comment
igotreefermadness Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 lol BigRok your W/C will be as easy as a squeeze of the turkey baster Link to comment
Bobyboy Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Okay, so now that the ruled have been fully clarified, I now submit my entry. Thread will start shortly. The evap on that will be enough to call it a water change when you top off every hour. I can't wait to see what you try and put in it. Link to comment
Markushka Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 hey all you diyers in this contest, I'm trying to get a strictly diy contest up an running, if anyone wants to do 2 contests at once, we should get the ball rolling! http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=298003 /shameless plug Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Mike...check the first page on this thread There are also hyperlinks to all the tank builds there. Thanks for sponsoring the contest! Excellent, My old age is catching up to me these days. Thanks for steering me in the right direction, I will peep into the hyperlinks and view the picos! Always happy to sponsor! Could not resist when I saw the title, "Official 3 and Under Pico Contest!" Link to comment
shaneandjohn Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Well, that's just brilliant. If anybody is going to one-up that, they're going to have to find a hob filter small enough for a shot glass! This just about made me piss my pants.. This is such an awesome Idea. I vote you win NOW!!!! Link to comment
dallasprstn Posted March 20, 2012 Author Share Posted March 20, 2012 I think you should take out the best aquascape and the beginner luck catagories and make them second and third overall best. hey, I know what you mean, but those categories scores are added up and the highest compiled score wins the best overall pico. without those we couldnt decide on the overall best pico! i'm gonna release the judging panel and how judging is scored later this week and it'll make more sense then!

ReefersEdge Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 How about you talk to the mods and see if the top 5 (or so) over all can go head to head for the november totm Link to comment
MetaTank Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 hey, I know what you mean, but those categories scores are added up and the highest compiled score wins the best overall pico. without those we couldnt decide on the overall best pico! i'm gonna release the judging panel and how judging is scored later this week and it'll make more sense then! Yes, Dallas is correct, we need the other catagories to score the Best Overall Pico... All three judges will be scoring for EVERY catagory. Every pico will be judged in each catagory, and given a score from 1-20 in each catagory. Then we will be collecting the judges score cards, and adding up each score from each catagory...The three judges compiled scores for each catagory will determine the winner in that catagory, with a possible perfect score of 60 points. The best overall pico will be decided by adding up each picos individual catagory scores from all three judges (Aquascape score + Best Growth score + etc...), and the Pico with the highest overall score wins Best Overall Pico. Make sense? I'll try to write something up to clarify the scoring a little bit more, but that should give you a general feel for how this contest will be judged as fairly as possible, since anonymous entries are sorta impossible...lol Link to comment
