spectra Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, kimberbee said: Can I call dibs on maxi minis and sexy shrimps? 🤔 I am sure a few people will have the same ideas. Mine just depends on the tank I guess..... is it going to be 2.5 or 5 ? Found a sweet little 4 gallon I wouldnt mind doing.......... Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Im confused, you guys are acting like the tank hasn’t already been specified. BTW, Petco doesn’t carry the 2.5 in my area. I’ll have to find another source. 2 Quote Link to comment

kimberbee Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 49 minutes ago, spectra said: is it going to be 2.5 or 5 ? Chris has been suggesting a 2.5 gallon since the beginning. And then after lots of different input from everyone he still stuck with that with his last post. 3 hours ago, Christopher Marks said: Ok, here are the proposed contest tank rules! 👏 A Standard 2.5 gallon 12x6x8" or near-equivalent dimension tank, glass or acrylic. (We can outline various known tank options that comply) So yeah, I think it's very unlikely the contest will use a different tank. Not saying go out and buy one, but I wouldn't start planning for a different tank. 1 Quote Link to comment

So if doser is allowed, I’ll dose SW then and take Auto Water Change definition out to make you feel better. Quote Link to comment

So loudest voices will rig the competition to suit their way of doing reef tank...... or do we have some creative freedom to do things we think that might work. I do not care about 6 month period. If I’m going to set this up, it is going to run as long as possible. And set up for success. Anyone setting this up just for a show, is a clown in my book. 1 Quote Link to comment

If you have a petsmart mine had a bunch today, I think the brand was top fin or something. Guess my area is a hot spot for 2.5 standards, I can find Atleast 2 more deep blue tanks locally after searching around so if anyone is in NH area let me know if you want to know where they are at! If you are going to rock a 2.5 standard I highly reccomend searching out a deep blue as it is superior to the aqueon and other options I have seen. Plus the deep blue I bought is 1$ cheaper than the offerings at petsmart today! 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Time to buy a dos for my new Apex I don’t care what method you use as long as you can show a long term success. If you want me to set up a sh$ty setup just for a SHOW for period of 6 months ......, sure, I could do that. But what is the point? Please explain? I could do “bonsai” theme or other crap but what does it really accomplish? Any Joe blow can set up a tank to run for 6 months. Anyone can set up a tank that will look have way decent for avarage guy or a gal. But make it a success story within size restrains and long term is quite a challenge. So don’t tell me what do I have to do to make it work, bc I do. If you are setting up a bs tank, well, that’s exactly what it is. But I won’t be part of your delusion. Quote Link to comment
