Jacobnano Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 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! Link to comment

pisces4u Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 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. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 -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 Zoa/Palys- No names- $ .30 PP not really colorful at all Common- $1 PP EE, Whammin' watermelons, red skirts, dragon eyes, pink panthers etc. Nice- $5 PP Nukes, PD's, Tubbs blues, Bam Bam's,AOG's, RPE etc. Rare- $20 PP Magicians, PPE, Hornets, Captain America LPS- Fungias- any color $30 Brains- $35 Frogspawn/Hammer/Torch/duncans- $5 per head Trumpets any color- $3 per head Blastos- $10 per head Micromussa -$30 Favias up to 4" -$25 Gonipora up to 5" -$15 <- Poor Survival rate Dendros- $15 per head Sun Coral- $25 up to 5" frag Acans- --Common -$5 per head --Nice -$10 per head --Rare -$20 per head Chalice- --Common -$5 per eye --Nice -$10 per eye --Rare -$20 per eye Leathers/softies- Mushrooms - 5$ per polyp Ricordea 10$ per polyp Yumas- 10$ per polyp GSP- 5$ per 3 inch square Kenya trees- 2$ per frag Xenia- --Pom Pom -$5 per stalk --Blue xenia - $8 per stalk --Anthelia up to 4" - $5 Other leathers up to 4" - 5$ Clove polyps - 5$ up to 3 inch square SPS- Any Morph- branching, encrusting, caps etc. 1/2" -1" -$5 1"-2" -$10 2" - 3" - $20 3" - 5" $30 Clams- Small- $30 Medium - $40 Large- $50 Other inverts- Feather dusters (not hitchhikers)- 8$ Conch - $3 each Nudibranch/sea hares- $5 each Assorted Sea stars- $ 6 each Coral banded shrimp- $5 each Skunk Cleaner shrimp- $20 each Harlequin shrimp- $20 each Sexy shrimp-$10 each Fire shrimp- $30 each Peppermint shrimp-$3 each Pom Pom crab- $10 each Porcelain crab- $10 each Emerald crab- $5 each Coco worm- $15 each Mini Nems- Any morph - $10 each Macros- Hitch hikers are free Any Macro - $2 a sandwich bag Mangroves- $1 each Rock- Base- 2$ per pound Live- 4$ per pound Let me know and I will add more things. 2009-2010 Nano Contest Prizes awarded for: - Best 10g over all Prize 1st prize- ($50 gift card to Reef Gardens) 2nd prize- 3 mini nems from claygirl13 3rd prize- mystery frag from Lawnman -Best Aquascape 1st prize- 25$ gift card to reefcleaners 2nd prize- Two chemi-pure (6.5oz) floss + 5 units of inTank special floss from INTANK 3rd prize- mystery frag from lajz9 -Best DIY All donated by: scooternerd 1st prize- mini AIO pico (2.7 gallons)+ return pump 2nd prize- small HOB fuge 3rd prize- 7x7x7 tank People in so far Damsels R Cool Clown fish 39 Duckiesforever TNT276 Jager got2envy claygirl13 Scooternerd Pisces4u JoeD harthag12 gabe3eb ReefDreamz rfd515 Maeda Kali D junyoungmin Llamaguy nanoreefnate Dizzle21 dhjunkie Phixion Osric justkidding86 bradisfun 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.
