streetsong Posted October 23, 2011 Author Share Posted October 23, 2011 With the circumstances that Rob described, is everyone okay if we let these 5 or 6 people slide? Sounds fair to me. Link to comment
metrokat Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Regarding starting dry again, guppy had his set up for the longest time. I do not begrudge him or the others for it at all. Mine actually will stay dry till the first week of November as I am travelling so I couldn't possibly start it on the day you decide if you change the rules now. So as much as someone will have a 1-2 week head start, I will have a 4 week possibly late start. Doesn't seem fair to anyone not to qualify due to a change in rules now. And what about the people who jump in at the open enrollment phase, their start date could possibly be 6-8 weeks later. We bought the tank. The contest came later. Let's let the start date go and have fun. Link to comment
MameJenny Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 heh, I'm going to make a pico non photosynthetic. I can do it on my own time though. I forsee a lot of water changes in my future. Glad to see another person who wants a NPS pico! What corals do you plan to have? I'm planing to have sponges, sun corals, epizoanthids and maybe some gorgonians. I think that we should just let everyone start their tanks whenever they want until the contest starts (and until 11/29). There will already be some differences in how fast the tanks progress due to differences in live rock, cycles, budgets, etc. A week or two doesn't matter much when the tank is still being set up or cycling. If you're really interested in participating in a group buy, message me and tell me what you want to buy. My order is already about $65, so we're probably going to get free shipping. I'll contact Big Al's and see how they handle group buys. Also, pics of the mini skimmer should be up in a day or two. I just have to add a few final touches and check it for leaks. Link to comment

Cintax Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I'm fine with it. A few weeks won't make a difference. Link to comment
pbjelly Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I've got no issues with different start dates. Mine is still dry and I don't mind if others' aren't. Let's keep this contest going in the spirit that it started - Fast, Cheap and Out of Control (No, wait that was a movie) Link to comment
streetsong Posted October 24, 2011 Author Share Posted October 24, 2011 Let's keep this contest going in the spirit that it started - Fast, Cheap and Out of Control (No, wait that was a movie) I think our contest may have a new slogan- well played. Since I have not heard anything to the contrary, I am making an executive decision that if your tank is already setup, no problem! Let's have fun and learn from each other! Link to comment

metrokat Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I just spoke to the manufacturers of Tom Deco Kit 2. Some info for our contestants: All kits come with a 90 day replacement warrantee Replacement filter media is easy to find online, look for Rapids Mini Power filter replacements Replacement 50/50 reef bulb is $10.99-$11.99 online, you want to look for item # TM1276, the 13W. Manufacturer suggests Aquarium connection Link for the bulb Link to comment
