My husband would just rather me have one huge 800g tank or something then multiple small ones cuz if I have too many it looks like pet store to him.

My husband has said the same thing!! And man I'd give my left arm for a big 250 or something so I could put everything I have in it and have them all find their own corner to live in.

I read “big left arm” for 250$ 
immediately this pops into my mind

This is exactly what I do with the tank keeper. In the last month, we’ve sold nearly a grand worth of coral... It paid for a pair of MP 40s (teaser - the main reason TK was hesitant to get in on this tank competition), and a new RODI unit for us.

So I wanted to double check that the rules allow for an AWC like that auto aqua for the contest. I saw that the decision went back and forth a little bit want to be absolutely sure before I put one in place

I'm going to rescind my allowance of Automatic Water Change systems until further review. 🔎

@McCune 

I think you’re right.

For now I’d say they aren’t allowed until the there’s another ruling reversing that. 

 

@Christopher Marks??

I'm assuming we are okay to use ATO units. I hope so. He said that on 2/5 and the rules still state we are able to use ATO units. 

 

Please disregard what I said. I read Christoper Mark's post as if it was on the topic of ATO units, not AWC units.

I have decided not to allow Auto Water Change systems based upon our 'no external plumbing' rule. Sorry @McCune, but thank you for clarifying.

Is it possible to switch tank? (After the deadline)

I'm having some concern with the size of my tank, i can't fit all the hardware correctly. 

@Christopher Marks

 

I'm looking for other tank a bit bigger.

If an aquarium breaks or fails to hold water within the competition period, a competitor may remain in the competition if the tank is replaced with another qualifying all-in-one style aquarium of similar volume (+/- 4 gallons) and the transition of livestock is documented.

 

This was meant in the case of a tank failure only.
