seabass Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 The secret item being a coffee mug, or coffee cup, or tumbler: An entry photo MUST be posted in your contest tank journal, taken of your empty/dry tank or container, containing: a coffee mug, cup, or tumbler (for example: a novelty ceramic mug, travel mug, paper Starbucks to go cup, insulated cup, or tumbler). Post of picture of your mug/cup/tumbler inside of your empty/dry tank or container; if it doesn't fit, post of pic of your mug/cup/tumbler in front of your empty/dry container. 2 Quote Link to comment

I wish that I could create such an intricate template in a forum post. However, it's more of an example where you replace the wording, and place markers for pics, and links with your own. 1 Quote Link to comment
StinkyBunny Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I just found out there are some cool gobies and blennies where we fish in The Chesapeake bay. I wish that I'd have found out about the cool critters sooner, a brackish setup with them would be cool.. 5 Quote Link to comment

It's not too late, Nov 30th is the cut off for a valid entry. Quote Link to comment

The water in the bay has cooled almost 15 degrees and they're not easy to access. I'll be hunting them down this summer, we bought a place on The Eastern Shore of Md so I'll be able to poke around next summer. 3 Quote Link to comment

So like a figure 8 puffer setup, or maybe some bumblee bee gobies in a nano, or even a kitang is okay? 🤔 (No, not entering, just curious) 2 Quote Link to comment

However, a FOWLR, or macroalgae, or another non-coral entry (like seagrass or a mangrove tree) will also be accepted. Freshwater entries will NOT be permitted, but I'll allow a brackish tank (with one or more brackish fish that are suitable for a 5 to 9 gallon display). 1 1 Quote Link to comment

aclman88 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Epic fail!!!! My original score was wonky since I tried to follow the carpenter swuare and took my eye off the scoring tool. I rescored lower but it still failed. Not sure if the score wasn’t deep enough or too deep but it cracked all over the place with enough deviation the trim wouldn’t have sit level and hid/covered the exposed glass. Back to the drawing board. I may buy a second 10 gallon and just completely disassemble it or just stick with a 5.5 gallon standard. 2 6 Quote Link to comment

So worth the experiment. Definitely would not recommend though. Way too many variables out of your control when it’s siliconed. No way to tell exactly where the heat will cause the glass to stress. 3 Quote Link to comment
