Dasani Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm interested. I am going to build my tank next month. But it will probably be a long time before I put livestock in it. I have to get alot of money first. It may be Christmas before I get it started. When will the contest end? Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 It'll probably around 7-9 months. I'm really opened to anything. I do know that registration will last for 50 days. Even if you don't get livestock in you might as well join for your aquascape lol. Thanks for the comment! Link to comment
