But in the interest of accessibility and supporting another awesome community sponsor Bulk Reef Supply, I will allow this tank as an exception. I think @asting is also using it? I do like the idea of putting the bow to the back side and using the flat front for the competition, I'd recommend it. The idea is to keep the 'blank canvas' roughly the same between each tank. And for the hair splitters out there who will now want me to allow a JBJ Picotope tank, I won't because it is nearly 9" wide and with bent glass it's just too different than the other tanks. It's really so close, I know, but no. I am. I would prefer to have bow out. embecause my back has clamps, HoB filter, ATO that do better on a flat edge than curved. Your call, but if I am put in the "losers bracket" so to speak no hard feelings. I didnt see any rectangular requirement and really just wanted a 2.5 rimless, and the mr. Aqua fit the bill. The pet chains also didn't have standard 2.5s within an hour of me or i would have saved $30 and pulled the rim myself. I also have painted the backside of my tank already and i would drop out before trying to scrape and redo. I'd prefer not to have that clarification made a week after the rules were announced.

KISReef Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 If your not going rimless you already have a mark against you. That's going too old school! Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I am a little worried one of my pets will break it again with water in it this time thinking about locking it in the spare bedroom but it's pretty lame to not have it out front where I can enjoy it all the time. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

KISReef Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hey, C.M. Most people don't understand what the term "old school" means? Most people (on this site) think it refers to Will Ferrell for some reason. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment
