Orange Crush Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 NANO CUBE 6 CONTEST Nano-Reef.com is pleased to announce its first ever tank building contest! The challenge is to demonstrate your skill as a nano reefer by creating a nano reef using the JBJ 6g nanocube. Prizes will be awarded to the top reefs in two categories - stock and open. Basic information follows. Watch the forums for complete rules. Q. What are the contest dates? A. The contest will begin June 1 and run through November 30. Q. What are the categories? A. There are two: STOCK: The tank must run in its original form. This means no light upgrades, no cutting, or sawing. The only additional "in-tank" equipment that can be used are powerheads and heaters. There is no restriction on sandbeds, liverock, or species of livestock used, but entrants are strongly urged to consider what is appropriate for six gallons of water under 18w compact fluorescent lighting (if you are unsure of the requirements for a particular organism, please use the the new nanocube forum to ask!). 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. Q. What are the prizes? A. Two of these too, both generously donated by our sponsors: Open Grand Prize: Seacrop $150 gift certificate! Stock Grand Prize: NanoCustoms Larnie Edition 12g NanoCube (est. retail value $369.00)! Second Prizes (each category): Coral Dynamics $50 Gift Certificates! Q. OK, I'm stoked. Where can I get one? A. NanoCustoms has generously agreed to offer NanoCubes at a significant discount to members. Pricing is $79.99 plus shipping. Official rules will be posted before the start date. If at any time this announcement contradicts those rules, the official rules will be used. A special thank you to our sponsors for donating the prizes and making this contest possible!
