Jacobnano Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I am starting a thread once we have final rules. So now we need to agree on what to change. I am not going to change the thread for just one person haha Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I agree junyoungmin... Kinda turned off by the posts lately. I just want to know the FINAL set of rules that make sense and then go off and continue working on my tank and getting it ready for November 15. Link to comment

scooternerd Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 we went through this same thing on the pico contest. some ppl will pay more then others get stuff free etc.... for an example. i received most of the coral in my pico for free! i still deducted it from my budget with the prices on the list even though i paid nothing for them the list just makes it easier and smoother Link to comment
justkidding86 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 oh yea that reminds me I need a price ruling on a 10g hex. My buddy has one sitting around that we are going to use for the contest. Same price as 10g aga? Otherwise we couldn't tell you what the thing cost. Link to comment
pisces4u Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 More for the hex I'd say. My LFS sell 10g AGA for $14 and hex for $39. Mod/OP's call though. Link to comment
Dizzle21 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 oh yea that reminds me I need a price ruling on a 10g hex. My buddy has one sitting around that we are going to use for the contest. Same price as 10g aga? Otherwise we couldn't tell you what the thing cost. I think thats fair since its used. but its not my call on how much is deducted. but i think charging the same as a 10g aga if fair. Link to comment
Damsels R Cool Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 75% would be for fishes only i'll start a trend tommorow with all the rules Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Why don't you fix the rules then have me start the thread? I can keep the first post updated with all of the members tank links etc. Link to comment

Jacobnano Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Just copy the the rules with your changes, that everyone should agree on lol. Then will start the thread and update i Link to comment
bradisfun Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 wait are we deducting for tank costs? cos i allready had mine as u know Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yes a standard 10g is $10 a custom tank is charged the materials minus $10 credit (I think) lol any other tank or item that cannot be priced like the hex has to be up to DrC and Jacob to price. Link to comment
mrbigshot Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 from what i understand is if you use a standard 10 gallon aga or someting it does not count against the budget. if you use somthing custom or other you take $10 off the price you paid and that gets charged to your budget. this way regardless of you location you get the same as others. you can pay 5000 for a standard 10 gallon as long as its a standard allglass, oceanic, perfecto, whatever and it wont hurt your budget. if you use a 10 gallon hex ($38 at the lfs) you charge your budget $28 if you use the 1/2 29 from glasscages ($28) you charge your budget $18 should be a buyout like in racing. helps keep things fair. you win in one of the catigories and the 2nd or 3rd place competitors should be able you buy your setup for $350 cash or your disqualified. its not somthing we will ever see as you would have to buy it in person so it would never happen. closed loops are legal as long as they add less than the volume of water one of the hob's would add? plubming wouldnt count twords your buget but the pump and or scwd would? i think lr rubble should sound twords your lr cost. i also feel tanks larger than 10 gallon are not eligable. you could use a a 20h and drain it down to 10g and take the required picture and than fill it back up after.

Jacobnano Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Is the 75% thing in the rules lol? I just copy and paste... -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. You go by the list below, you do no deduct shipping if buying online. -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.

Kali_D Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Take me off the list. I'll have to watch this one from the bleachers. Link to comment
corallineadam Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 just throwing this out there but tru vue makes 10g standard sized tanks that are pretty snazzy. they are $110-$120 at a LFS nearby. would that be the cost that will be deducted from the budget? Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yes, unless it is a standard 10g AGA, perfecto, marineland etc. but you can deduct $10 from the $110- $120 as a credit. Link to comment
Llamaguy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Yes, unless it is a standard 10g AGA, perfecto, marineland etc. but you can deduct $10 from the $110- $120 as a credit. I have a quick question. It's not clearing stated whether we count $10 for the tank in the budget or if that's one of the things that's not counted (like a heater) and the $10 is a credit for those not using not using one. ps: I know that's not technically a question but you'll figure it out. Link to comment
got2envy Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I believe that everyone is deducted $10 for the tank. If you have it custom built you deduct the material cost and give yourself a $10 credit. LOL this is complicated... Link to comment
