Clown Fish 39 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 nice:) i hope this contest happens Link to comment
TNT276 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 oh would it have to be a 10 aga or could it be a custom shallow tank? Link to comment
Dizzle21 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 oh would it have to be a 10 aga or could it be a custom shallow tank? I think its goin to be just 10g total volume. custom or aga. keep in mind theres a tight budget and custom tanks arnt cheap to make or buy. Link to comment
Clown Fish 39 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 true what lighting do you think is cheap enough the budget, but suffiecent for this tank? Link to comment
Jakesaw Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I think its goin to be just 10g total volume. custom or aga. keep in mind theres a tight budget and custom tanks arnt cheap to make or buy. What about 10 gallon display tank. I was thinking of a 10 gallon Sump underneath. Link to comment
Clown Fish 39 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 not sure, good question Link to comment
Rick Shaw Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Ugh, really dont need to set up another tank. But... Would we get any kind of credit for coming in under budget? Link to comment
duckiesforever Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 im gonna turn this into my main tank eventually so its an upgrade from a pico and op said you could get it custom if you want but its probably not a good idea because of the cost issues Link to comment
got2envy Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Contests are great. make sure you guys find a MOD prior and def use the link Weetie gave you as an example. IMO I would do $300 livestock budget,only standard 10g cause they are cheap and no budget on equipment....but thats me I will def follow along! Link to comment
Rick Shaw Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have a bunch of acrylic laying around and could make a new tank for a couple bucks so I'll be watching this thread. Link to comment

Damsels R Cool Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 I better start saving my money for this thank! hahaIm only 18 dont make a whole lot of money..lol lol i'm 18 to thats one reason i'm waiting till december what i have so far Regular 10 gallon- free (but i'll say $10) about 15 lbs of base rock also free ( $30 sounds fair) tiger pistol (paid $10 in my other 10 since january) corals (from my current 10) as for rules for this contest i think if it's ok with the person who started the first 10 gallon contest we use most of there rules but change up some things things i would change 1. anything that is recived for free would be 50% of what it's worth (corals from your own tank does not count for 50%) 2. stuff taken from your other tank would be 25% off the lised price example my 10 gallon i got for free (example rule 1 ) it would be listed in the contest for $5 another thing to make tis contest fair there you will have to post a picture atleast once every 2 weeks with a random item ^^ dealing with this since i will be particapating i would not chose all the time someone different would chose every 2 weeks any problems sound fair?

Dizzle21 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 lol i'm 18 to thats one reason i'm waiting till december what i have so far Regular 10 gallon- free (but i'll say $10) about 15 lbs of base rock also free ( $30 sounds fair) tiger pistol (paid $10 in my other 10 since january) corals (from my current 10) as for rules for this contest i think if it's ok with the person who started the first 10 gallon contest we use most of there rules but change up some things things i would change 1. anything that is recived for free would be 50% of what it's worth (corals from your own tank does not count for 50%) 2. stuff taken from your other tank would be 25% off the lised price example my 10 gallon i got for free (example rule 1 ) it would be listed in the contest for $5 another thing to make tis contest fair there you will have to post a picture atleast once every 2 weeks with a random item ^^ dealing with this since i will be particapating i would not chose all the time someone different would chose every 2 weeks any problems sound fair? Maybe we should do 2 classes. Stock and Mod..lol Stock will have a Price budget and will be simple tanks. Mod will be No budget and can be as complexed as they want. That way everyones happy Link to comment
Clown Fish 39 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 sounds fairs:) im definitely in, just went out and bought a ten gallon tank for 10 dollars:) i definitely say we should start sooner though:) Link to comment
Clown Fish 39 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 the stock tanks, could they be rimless Link to comment
Damsels R Cool Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 the stock tanks, could they be rimless Is the total volume still going to be 10 gallons Link to comment
1337TANKHAX Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Why would you start a 10G contest right after a 6 Gal just started? Wait until ours is over and don't steal our thunder man. Link to comment

Clown Fish 39 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 i think if we just pretty much follow the original contests rules then we should be good:) Link to comment
ladyamanda Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Dunno when you're starting this, but I'm in...although my reef is pretty much going to be limited to mushrooms and buttons....it might be good inspiration. I'm coming back starting with a 10 gallon that was given to me. I have some equipment from before my tank crash..but that's it. I'm starting this week regardless. Link to comment
Clown Fish 39 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 what kind of lighting would be suffiecent for this size tank? Link to comment
lajz9 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Why would you start a 10G contest right after a 6 Gal just started? Wait until ours is over and don't steal our thunder man. I agree, and I think there are probably people in the 6g contest that would be interested in this once it's over. Link to comment
