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.

What about 10 gallon display tank. I was thinking of a 10 gallon Sump underneath.

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

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 :P I will def follow along!

I better start saving my money for this thank! haha

Im 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?

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 :lol:

no hard feelings or anything

but i think that just makes it a bit complicated

although we all trust our nanoreef comrades,

some of might have difficulty identifying the difference ;)

i suggest just a set price list and any inquiries should be sent to a mod

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.

Why would you start a 10G contest right after a 6 Gal just started? :huh: 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.
