reef hugger Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hey OC, did the Contest Announcement have to be posted in every forum? Link to comment
Orange Crush Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 Apparently someone missed the part where I said positive feedback. This is supposed to be a fun thing, people! Life's no fun if you complain about it all the time. Go with the flow! Try somehing new! Let's make it simple: you don't want to do the contest, don't. And Josh, yes it did. Don't worry, they'll go away in time. tyia. Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 i hope this contest will be based on how well the overall tank looks and not how many acans you can cram into it. Link to comment
FAC_WNY Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Life would be grande if all the feedback we ever received was positive..... Unfortunately..well...anyway... Cheers, Fred Link to comment
oogie Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 How about if we create third division? Hardware only! So you are judged on quality hardware upgrades! So tank in this catagory doesn't even need to contain 1 drop of water! And yes. I am an idiot! Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 what if we had a contest only based on talent, not how much money you have! Link to comment
FAC_WNY Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Yeah...like having to spend $80 on a 6gallon tank!!?? LOL Cheers, Fred Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 so for the second category in which you can mod, is it cheating if you drill it and plumb it to a 125 gallon tank (i mean sump....). Link to comment
Pili4444 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Oh man, i was just about to start a small FW planted tank and now this has to come along. I need more money8) ,lol. Link to comment

OPEN: This category is open to allow entrants to excercise their imagination with modifications. Feel free to hack, drill, melt the stock nanocube to your hearts desire. Any external plumbing must not bring the entire system volume over 12 gallons. so in a word, yes and pili, sorry dude. all i can say. Link to comment

adinsxq Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Originally posted by lgreen what if we had a contest only based on talent, not how much money you have! This is the whole point of the unmodified category. Setting the a restriction (in this category) to stock-tank-only, entries will be judged by the aquarist's skill at what's in the tank. Some individuals may not be comfortable paying $79.99 for the tank for whatever reason and that's great, maybe the rules will suit him or her better next time. Tanks that show the skill of the aquarist will have the best chance at winning. If you're looking for the fairest playing field, you should enter the in the stock category. By competing against others using the same setup, you'll be able to best demostrate selection of appropriate livestock, aquascaping, placement of coral, and other things "money can't buy." Good luck!

Enter your tank in the Open category and gut/drill/glue the stock tank to your heart's desire (1 drop of water is fine, just don't let the drops add up to 12 gallons) Link to comment
Pili4444 Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 If you enter the open category, can you buy a modded cube from nanocustoms or do you have to start with a stock one and mod it your self? Link to comment
Orange Crush Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 you can buy one pre-modded. Link to comment
patio Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 maybe we can get jbj to donate a couple of tanks for those with no $$$$$$$$$! hahaha jk sounds like fun! Link to comment
adinsxq Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Originally posted by patio maybe we can get jbj to donate a couple of tanks for those with no $$$$$$$$$! hahaha jk sounds like fun! The price Nanocustoms is offering to NR members is unbeatable. Link to comment
oogie Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 For Open division, do you have to keep the hood? or can i ditch it? Thanks! Link to comment
adinsxq Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Originally posted by oogie For Open division, do you have to keep the hood? or can i ditch it? Thanks! "my grandfather's axe" If I replace my nanocube's hood and then the tank, is it still a nanocube? There is no restriction on removing the hood to use some other light source for tanks in the Open category as of yet. Wait for the more complete rules/regulations (as noted in the announcement--available soon) Link to comment
newbiecarlz Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 is this an international comp or US only? Link to comment
lgreen Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 entries will be judged by the aquarist's skill at what's in the tank That was part of my point. Are you more likely to win if you have 5 acanthatrea's and 4 colonies of PPE, some firecrackers, a blasto, and a helfrichi goby? and other things "money can't buy" :ermm: ??? Link to comment
oogie Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 BTW, who will be the judge? Everyone involved gets a vote? Link to comment
