kamikaze_fish Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I might be interested in this. Depends on what I decide to do with my 55g tank. If it doesn't become salt, I'll be a part of this. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think there are still a few things to iron out. I think there should be no sumps and a limit of 1 hang on they back filter. Everyone should have to have a 10 gallon display. I think everyone should get to choose what hob flter they want to use limit 1. So there can be no complaining that his filter is bigger than mine. The LR and the 75 percent rule is going to be hard. Here is a idea now just a idea raise the limit to 350 and drop the 75 percent rule. So if you already have a piece of equipment find the cheapest online vendor and use that price and same goes for fish etc. The extra 50 will help everyone out and keep it fair. As far as LR I have no ideas. Suggestions? No arguing or bickering it will get figured out. I think everyone should try to have the rules set in stone by this Sunday night. Just my 2 centd Link to comment
kamikaze_fish Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I completely agree with the no sump and only 1 HOB rule. Link to comment

I think there should be no sumps and a limit of 1 hang on the back filter.hang on the back idea is good I my self am going to ues a hang on back filter/fuge Everyone should have to have a 10 gallon display. correct custom or not it has to hold 10 gallons I think everyone should get to choose what hob flter they want to use limit 1. So there can be no complaining that his filter is bigger than mine. fine with me but i still think there are some HUGE ones out there that some one would take advantage of The LR and the 75 percent rule is going to be hard. thats why i sugested tthat everyone use base if not LR is $4 a lb base is $2 and i think everyone is ok on the 75% livestock rule Here is a idea now just a idea raise the limit to 350 and drop the 75 percent rule. Again 75% is for livestock only and it only counts to animals(fish, crabs,ect...) and coral frags(1 head or 20 polyp or less of zoas) Link to comment
Lawnman Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 By doing 1 hob filter there cant be any bickering because you had the option to buy what you want. I think best aquascape should be at the halfway point in case people want to move it around. At the end I think it would be to much voting going on. Maybe your mod Jacob will have some input for the LR and voting. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Ok gotcha now I missed the part of the 75 is only for livestock sorry about that. The LR is a good idea you have just set standard per pound price if they pay more they only have to apply x to there budget. The hob should not be a problem. If someone wants to eat up a ton of there budget for a bigger filter let them. Link to comment

harthag12 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Still think you want to drop the 75% coral idea, if that's in someones invariably going to say every single coral they got was from their own tank and for 75%. The price list is more than fair already if high end zoa's are 5$a polyp, a Darth Maul goes for $25-$40 online so you're already getting to price them at 5$. That's the only part I disagree w/ in our 12" cube contest, the "budget" is $250 but if people are getting charged $5 fora purple hornet they're really getting a much larger budget than those of use who can't afford a $100/polyp coral with real world pricing. Note: we didn't charge for live rock & I don't think clean up crew should count, no one goes wow that guy has 4 nassarius snails in his aquascape picture I'm voting for him over the guy w/ 3. They're essential to the tank like salt but really have no bearing on the voting situation. Shoot I'm sure people would move them off the glass for better pictures for the final tank shot.

Lawnman Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Thats some good ideas. No charge for cuc or LR drop the 75 percent and the budget is 300 and use a generic price list that jacob came up with. I like that but this is not my contest. Link to comment
kamikaze_fish Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think if you drop the LR and CUC you should lower the budget. Link to comment
Damsels R Cool Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 I think if you drop the LR and CUC you should lower the budget. CUC is out of the budget (CUC includes HERMIT crabs And SNAILS) A cleaner shrimp is NOT excluded from the budget LR would still count for the budget at $4 a pound base would count as $2 a pound Link to comment
jager Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just ordered my tank. Will get it on Nov 7th. That only leaves me a week to to set it up how I want it. Here is a pick. Made by glasscages. 30 x 12.5 x 6 (9.7 gals close enough right?). $28! I was looking at getting a 20L and cutting it in half, but this is cheaper and less time consuming. I have a surprise in store for the layout too. Wanted to get it rimless but $72 is a little too much of the budget. Link to comment

Why not just drop the base price and set LR at 3 dollars a pound? So everyone can't say there rock is base rock. Just looking for ways to save you all problems down the road. Link to comment

claygirl13 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Hmmm... Can I enter and provide a prize? I've been wanting to enter one of these for a while but was also thinking of donating 4 mini-nems for one of the prizes. What do you guys think? Link to comment
jager Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 What kind of light you gonna use for that monster? Looks like a frag tank. Not sure on the light, I have two different setups in mind. My favorite involves 2 different lights, not counting the fuge light. I think it is meant to be a frag tank. I wanted a little more length than an aga 10gal. The stand is either going to have to be high or it will need to be a top view type, which limits lights options somewhat. I'm guessing stand price is not going into the $300. Also, what about macroalgae (nice looking stuff not chaeto), that included in the total price? If so, what is a good number, $3 a piece? Although all of the price stuff doesn't matter to me. I'm doing this for fun not the prizes. Link to comment

Lawnman Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Nice job Jacob it looks good. Damsels did you update the hardware section to 1 hang on back filter? So the price for LR is 3 dollars a pound across the board? Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I will just keep updating and bumping as people come up with new stuff. Link to comment
pisces4u Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Question: Ok say I use a 10g AGA and 1 allowed HOB. Am I allowed to silicone in partitions to create an "all in one" with chambers in the back? Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 You mean have it be an AIO tank with a HOB? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Link to comment
