Its kinda opposite. The corals are what drain my budget, my tank and stuff was relatively cheap. You should do well, and either way your tank should look great!

Yeah, can we stay on track with updates and constructive suggestions? I know everyone is excited, but wading through 3 new pages of Australian economics is tedious.

-Total tank volume should be basically 10g. As in no sumps, but a HOB filter is allowed, also converting the tank into an all-in-one is allowed.

 

-Refugiums are allowed, but should be no bigger than an AquaClear 110.

 

-HOB filters are allowed but the largest size is an AquaClear 110.

 

-Budget of 350$

 

-The cost of the equipment is taken from the budget, so spend wisely.

 

-All live stock can come from anywhere, sponsors, LFS, whatever. If you use something from a current tank, you deduct 75% of its fair market value. If you purchase livestock online, you deduct the actual price paid for the livestock from the budget, but don't count shipping costs.

 

-You can mod all you want as long as you keep your total volume at 10 gallons.

 

-Not deducted from the budget: building supplies, eggcrate, stand/canopy materials, plumbing, sand testing supplies mag float, heater, thermometer, salt, water, supplements, food or CUC (only including snails and hermit crabs + certain other crabs PM me if you want to add something to the CUC that I did NOT mention)

 

-Budget is done on the honor system since we all know what its all worth.

In short, you've got 6 months to make a sweet tank on a limited budget.

 

-When something dies it does not count toward the budget.

 

-Begins November 15th

OK here is some info, I don't know what to classify it as until the competition itself starts.

 

-I am going to choose one object the day before the competition starts and pics must posted of that object in the tank by the end of the next day.

-The object could be anything, so don't try to start your tank now, I am pretty random so good luck guessing

-Each participant should have a tank thread that I can link to on the first post of the contest thread (not created yet).

-There will be monthly required photos of the tanks.

So I just want to confirm this so that I am not confused.

 

The 75% discount is applied to livestock only? equipment only? both?

 

Thanks,

Nate

i was wondering the same

Link to comment
:blink: sooo lost in this thread...

 

BTW, that site doesn't ship to the US, doubt they'd provide a free prize and cover a ridiculous shipping charge...

 

i don't know they really nice and dont have very much advertising

there is a team of 14 of them and they go out and collect for 1 week and then come back for a week and

reply to all emails and ship every thing out but there really nice on my first shipment they gave me heaps of base rock and a mini nem for free
