William Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Just now, seabass said: Our last two contests have been picos, so maybe we should go nano sized next time. Although I loved that it was possible to join the last two on a limited budget. I think keeping it in the pico range makes the barrier to entry pretty low. It’s also way easier to rationalize “one more tank” if it’s small. 4 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Anything goes competition 20-30g system volume. Ez pz! or... more picos... it doesn't really matter 4 Quote Link to comment
kimberbee Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 We've had a few equipment/tank specific contests in the last few years. I know it would be harder to regulate, but I feel like a livestock restriction would make the next contest a little different. 5 Quote Link to comment
This guy is extra salty Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 5g-10g? Anything goes? drilled? Dividers? 20$ spend maximum for livestock/coral? Please not another HOB! 😭 2 2 Quote Link to comment
William Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I would actually like to see a biotope contest. Maybe even a marine “planted tank” contest 7 Quote Link to comment
Gravity Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 How about a DIY AIO competition? 1 Quote Link to comment

Aqua Splendor Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Aquarium type size? Like Shallow tank only or Square tank only Maybe aquarium with one theme, what ever which one, like all mushroom, all birdnest, all acropora, only zoa, etc... maybe lps only/sps/soft etc... Anything that don't cost too much? 1 Quote Link to comment

Like this idea, much easier to hide around the place than a larger system. 9 hours ago, William said: I would actually like to see a biotope contest.

kimberbee Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I really liked the way @Tigahboy's volcano turned out. Maybe we do a themed/diorama tank that must include the use of props inside the tank... 🤔 5 Quote Link to comment
mariahranch Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Why not limit the lighting- a PICO tank and everyone must use an ABI tuna blue bulb for instance? 2 Quote Link to comment

Clown79 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Another contest would be very cool but the more restricted we make the contest, the less members will get involved. I vote a theme tank 3 1 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 How about a carboy? You can get them in anything from one gallon to 6.5 gallons. I'm imagining a ship in a bottle reef contest. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment
