StinkyBunny Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 This is what I'm into right now. Being semi retired gives me options like fishing all summer. If air cargo gets it's ass sorted out, I might go back to doing saltwater imports but as of now I'm not risking $20,000+ on a shipment. Sri Lanka is a total shit show right now too with the civil unrest. Damn shame, one of my favorite places to get fish from. 5 Quote Link to comment

ptora Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Maybe this will motivate me to do a water change, siphon the sandbed, and clean the glass on my tank that I haven't started a journal of. 😂 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Freaky! I have tons of vermetids in my 32… one of the many problems I need to address with my tanks. I think this is going to take more than 90 days!! 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment
The Rainy Day Aquarium Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I thought I smelt a NR contest happening. @seabass I think that heater has been claimed by the sea there 😂 4 Quote Link to comment
chipz Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 How did you know this was the contest I needed??? 3 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022  I see that a few of you have already begun, but I'd love to see more. I know that there are other tanks in need of attention, and people who'd love to sport a Nano-Reef T-shirt. 2 5 Quote Link to comment

debbeach13 Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Might be the start of joining the contest. New tool. Shown next to sort of old tool. Which was actually use to swoosh. Swoosh salt around in the bottom of a bucket or swoosh detritus around in back chambers. My arm and a single edge razor was always use for anything a magnet cleaner didn’t get. 6 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 All my tanks have been neglected for past 10 or so months lol So I should probably join this to give me some motivation.  I am so glad to see others are neglecting theirs too! It makes me feel like less of a monster!!   5 2 Quote Link to comment

You are definitely not a monster. Life happens to all of us. Tanks being put on the back burner, or autopilot I think happens pretty often. We just never see it, because most of us only take pictures when things are looking great. 6 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 No deadline to join right? Just whenever I get a chance to take pics?  Need to decide which tank to enter.. ahh! 2 Quote Link to comment

With all of the fishing we've been doing my house looks like a dump, lol. If I'm not fishing, I'm working and M is in school or working so we might clean once every 2 weeks or when the dog hair tumble weeds look like hedgehogs. 😄 😮 1 5 Quote Link to comment
rimga123 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 My pest tank had an oopsy and it would be a great oportunity to renovate it That would literally not cost me a dime if my girlfriend would finally upgrade her freshwater tank and i could use her old 30liters. All the equipment here and i can always get pests for free from local enthusiast 4 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 While carving your pumpkin this year, consider joining the 90 Day Nano-Reno contest. Happy Halloween! 3 1 Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 It feels like this contest is in stealth mode. Alot of members seem to be waiting to do a big reveal at the end. That's cool. I am just plugging along because cycling two tanks at once is something new for me. 4 Quote Link to comment
