is it going to be aga?

or custom

 

what ever you want as long as the tank's total volume is 10 gallons

 

sounds good? (still in the planning phase)

so how do these contest work? can you not start till a certain date or just not add water or??

and how long do you have to do your reefing magic? and then i asume members vote for the best.

Good luck. Learn from ours -_-

 

EXCELLENT advice.

I suggest you read a bunch of the 12" Cube Contest thread and decide whether you really want to take that on.

yes exactly you could get all your equiment but no water in the tank till a specifed date then i'm thinking 6 months then voting

 

but reamber you have $300 (sounds Fair?) to build it

That sounds like what we did with this contest:

We found that the $300 budget was used up pretty quickly, and some creative budgeting was necessary.

a big +1,000,000,000,000 read the closed 12" contest thread not the new one or both ;)

well it would be hard to keep in that budget but it be fun having to be creative with budgeting:)

i would think if you were careful you keep the hardware under 100- 150 and have the rest for livestock.

you should definitely have a standardized price list established before the contest so you could avoid the headache that the 12" inch contest had.

i think it could be very fun:)

i just read over Weetabix7's contest and the rules all seem very planned out and it would be easy to maintain a contest with easy to follow rules:)

if we basically followed around the same guidelines as the other contest,i think it would be very smooth and fun:)

definitiley go for it, im in :D
