The setups turned out to be appealing maintenance wise so they keep chugging along. No reason a contest tank can’t be long term. And no reason you would have to feel bad about taking it down post competition either, most people do take them down 3 Quote Link to comment

Now I’m doubling the upgrade for this contest 🤣 4 Quote Link to comment

The tank keeper and I would like to contribute some corals to this new build of yours. The tank keeper appreciates that you think of them as a keeper of a keeper! We’ll be watching for tank entry thread and will be sending a care package once you’re ready! (I guess I’ll be living vicariously through you... Maybe. Twelve days left to convince the tank keeper we NEED a sixth tank.) 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I put too much emotional investment and time into it to EVER take it down (unless something better comes along). yeah I love that tank! she said if I promise to take it down- cross my heart and hope to die promise -she really did say that. I laughed its been a few decades since I have heard that one. I can do it but I fear I might get to attached to it. 😛 oh 1st world problems.... 5 Quote Link to comment

It’s called the flirting with divorce tank for a reason, though MY keeper doesn’t help with the tanks. Does this qualify for gifty corals? 5 Quote Link to comment

That’s totally up to the tank keeper. All though, if anyone comes to MACNA this year and there’s a NanoReef get together (hint hint @Christopher Marks) you’d definitely get to meet the tank keeper. 4 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I thought about a DIY AIO for one hot minute but then realized I truly would be cutting it out with a hand saw. 3 Quote Link to comment
SliceGolfer Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I tried to make an in sump venturi driven protein skimmer back in the 1990s. I could never get the water height correct. It made for a pretty acrylic fountain in my cabinet! 1 4 Quote Link to comment

I’m over here with my store bought AIO while everyone is all “I turned my old microwave into an AIO section for pump/filter /skimmer and DIYed it into the body of an old Ferrari so you can look thru the moon roof/hood/backend and sides just because hey it was laying around” 🤦🏽♀️ There needs to be a category for plain little humble tanks with no DIYs. 10 1 Quote Link to comment
