kimberbee Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 I know I'm not going to win this contest. Things are happening in life and not in this little pico. I'll likely move everything out and use the container as it was meant - as a terrarium. 1 Quote Link to comment

Luckily the things I have in there so far - snails, groot, strawberry nem, and even the little gorg are doing well. I've only been doing 50% every other week water changes. 6 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi! Just a reminder to please pm me your February FTS by this Friday 3/2/18. 1 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The contest is coming to a close! March 31st will be the official end of the competition and then the voting will begin. In order to help the community decide what tanks to vote for, each remaining contestant will need to do the following: PM me three (3) final photos that you think summarize your container reef. The composition for two of these is up to you, but one of them should be a final FTS taken sometime during the month of March. PM me a written summary of your container reef build and experiences throughout the competition. This should be no more than 250 words. These items must be private messaged to me by midnight (Pacific Standard Time) on March 31st. Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Whelp, closing is set for the 30th, and we'll likely be moving that weekend. This tanks days are numbered, and though I don't know the exact number, it won't last until the contest is over. I have a new video ready to upload, but I also feel like I should just quietly bow out. 1 3 Quote Link to comment

I know my truck has one and used it for a heater and pump once. 1 Quote Link to comment

Plus, the tag it came with explicitly stated "DO NOT MOVE WHEN FILLED" so I wouldn't really be comfortable moving it with anything in it. Considering how little there is in this little pico It's probably best to shut it down when it's time for he move. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Lula_Mae Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Awww bummer! I vote you upload for one last goodbye/hurrah. And congrats on the new house! 4 Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Yes, I agree with Lula Mae. You came this far and your pico deserves to be represented at the end. 4 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Yep, I say submit your final pics and summary... then tear it down for the move. IMO, not maintaining your pico past the contest, or even tearing down your pico on the last weekend shouldn't disqualify you. It's nice to see the diversity of the entries; the more the better. 3 Quote Link to comment
DarkMagic Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 (edited) Could the orange thing be a slime mold? I feel like some stop motion photography would be super interesting for this! Edited March 18, 2018 by DarkMagic added video 2 Quote Link to comment

Most folks who don't have time to have another tank just forget about it altogether but you kept your tank immaculate. Kudos to you and good luck to you in your upcoming move to your new home! 2 Quote Link to comment
Felicia Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 If you would like to be included in the final voting, you're more than welcome! I will just need your writeup and final three photos by private message by tonight at midnight (PST). I'm sorry to hear you have to take the container down to move, but a new house is exciting! Good luck with the move! Quote Link to comment

Do you have a decent lot or did you go subdivision? I'm hoping to get an acre when we move. Well, an acre at the minimum. I'm so over the city living . I don't mind having all the perks of a big city nearby...I just don't want to be in the middle of it again. Unless it's a brownstone in Manhattan or something like that...that'd be cool LOL. 2 Quote Link to comment

It's in a subdivision, but once the developer left, the homeowner's decided to let the association die. I think I counted 80 homes and we're surrounded by cornfields, just a few miles south of Valparaiso's downtown area. At the risk of giving away where the house is, we'll be walking distance to the Porter County Fair!! 6 2 Quote Link to comment
