Jacob042426 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 My tank is around 1 gallon Link to comment
11GTCS Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 3774322[/url]']How do you calculate that? Haha my college physics textbook had a unit conversion table. One cubic inch is 0.004329 gallons. Link to comment
11GTCS Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Going to hopefully get sand for the tank today or tomorrow! Link to comment
Veng Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ok, so it looks like I'll be entering the contest. If I remember to update threads and qualify to finish, that's another story. 1.5 Gallon Tetra was on clearance for 12$ at petco, so I grabbed it. I've already tossed an old TopFin30 and a heater in it. Need to do something on the light, and get some rock for scaping. Pulled a little rubble out of one of the other tanks, but didn't have enough to do anything. I know in the thread you said we could start cycling, what's the dates on adding stock and such? Has the offical thread been made? Link to comment

Markushka Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 DHaut usually wins these contests. Even if he doesn't enter. Dhut'd never stand a chance against my contest tank. he's lucky he's switched to brewing beer now cos there'd be no contest. I'm debating whether I want to build a new tank or use my old one. I would like some different dimensions. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 You guys will be shocked by how much I destroy everyone in this contest. I am going to spend less than $100. Watch. Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Ive spent over $130 already... Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 In my picotope, ive spent about $200. Look at all the stuff I have too. Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I like to keep it simple! I say its all about looks than price Plus i saved a lot of money by using base rock and sand! Link to comment
Veng Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The walmart one was silly, guys were adding on huge fuges, ac100 ect... This ones better cause there AIO meaning very little can be modified..... Wait it has to be an AIO? I thought it was anything with a display under 3G? I've already got a topfin 30 on it, which would make it not a AIO. Link to comment

You're fine. As long as your sump isn't like 20 gallons lol. Then I think that might be a little bit much Link to comment

Thornchase Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Woops thought they were AIOs only, oh well No From what I gather, its anything under 3 gallons! AGA with the fixings would be nice too! Link to comment

As long as your sump isn't like 20 gallons lol. Then I think that might be a little bit much damn, i was gonna have a 20g sump too. is 19 ok tho? in all seriousness, i'm not looking to spend much on the tank, probably like 20 bucks for the glass, and 20 bucks for a pump if I need to buy one. As for the coral budget, probably as little as possible too, get some frags from friends, or some small pieces. not quite sure yet, I'm not even sure what the tank itself is going to look like yet, but I have a few ideas.
