Jacob042426 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wait... We can use sump mking the tank over 3gallons? Link to comment
dallasprstn Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Wait... We can use sump mking the tank over 3gallons? yeah but the sump can't be larger than the tank volume, so it will pretty much just micro sumps lol. i'll go more in depth in the official rules and such. Link to comment
boxboy Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 When building a tank. do the sides rest against the sides of the bottom pan? or is it ok for the sides to rest on top of the bottom pan of glass? I think the glass shop mess.ed up the cuts Link to comment
Markushka Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 In such a small tank it doesn't matter. there isn't enough water pressure on the glass to matter. as long as the panes fit together perfectly and the silicon job is good, your tank will hold. Link to comment
dallasprstn Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 i'm probably gonna have the official thread up in around 30 minutes everybody, just a heads up. Link to comment
16bio Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 YAY!!! Just say when, I am ready for anyting Link to comment
11GTCS Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Haha it should be fun! Chompin at the bit but I know it will be a challenge for sure Link to comment
Markushka Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 will the rules be final or up for discussion? and in the sake of organisation, we could leave any discussion out of the official thread, perhaps leave it for FTS and FES posts, so you don't have to wade thru pages of chit chat to see the pics.

dallasprstn Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 i'm finishing up the official thread right now, but yes, the rules would still be up for discussion until the end of the week. Also, please only comment on the official thread to clarify that you are entering the contest. Last thing, I will set up a separate thread for FTS and FES each month, and that is where you will post those! sound good? Link to comment
Markushka Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 yea, but perhaps just one fes &fts thread, It'd make it easier, everyone could bookmark it and know exactly where to post their pics. Link to comment
dallasprstn Posted March 8, 2012 Author Share Posted March 8, 2012 yea, but perhaps just one fes &fts thread, It'd make it easier, everyone could bookmark it and know exactly where to post their pics. very true, and then just have a monthly update post to separate the FTS and FES each month?

Markushka Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 yeah, plus all the posts are dated. Link to comment
