I'm going to go ahead and say feel free to add or change out equipment if needed. All equipment through the whole competition just has to meet the equipment rules. By October 31st, you just need to have your container and the equipment you plan to start with. However, keep in mind that you cannot change containers after the October 31st deadline. So to reiterate, no rules on adding, swapping, or removing allowed equipment after the October 31st deadline.

SaltyBuddha Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Haven't seen this mentioned yet, but is running a fan over the top to help lower temps allowed? I see most people are worried about a heater but Socal doesn't really have a winter...and I don't know if I can convince the wife to run the AC for 6 months 4 Quote Link to comment

Like schgr.cube mentioned, I would be more worried about evaporation with a fan. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

If I have all the equipment and am not planning on changing containers or anything, does my tank need to be wet on the 31? I shipped out my base to @ReefWeeds and it’s a bit delayed. I know Rachel needs to paint and package it back up so I just want to make sure that if something gets delayed by a couple days after 31 I’m ok 1 Quote Link to comment

You can continue using the current thread or start a new one. Its up to you which you prefer. What you will need to do is post a new photo of the new container while it is dry and with your favorite condiment in the photo. Quote Link to comment

dmw913 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Ok, friends. I need a little help, please. I just tried to post some more pics and was given notification that I can only post 6mb of photos. I assume this is limited because I am not yet a "supporter", correct? Regardless, can someone please educate me on how to increase my photo limit and/or become a supporter? Thanks!!! Denise Quote Link to comment
