EtOH_is_good Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 kind of liked how RDO keeps out others from mucking up a contestant's tank thread. can we keep comment on entry tanks here rather than in the entrant's personal thread? just took a look at oogie's sqwd mod. just another good reason not to enter the open. open cube section is going to really rock. wonder how jmt is going to answer back.

crrichey Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 So oogie, this is going to be your washing machine I take it? Link to comment
alexwbush Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I wonder how many tanks there will be in the end. I keep considering this contest, but wouldn't be able to effectively start until after I move (August 1). Link to comment
rickjg Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 So how many OPEN people are going to post mods to the tank when they are made, as opposed to at the end of the contest? I’m not opposed to posting my mods if they can help someone have a more successful tank. (No guarantees on that) I like seeing the mods, and I’m sure some will be amazing. Link to comment
oogie Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I will keep on posting mods as soon as I make them because I am in this contest for fun! Sure winning will be nice but I think real fun would be getting ideas from each other and try to build best tank you could or we could! I really don't care about winning, well I do but you know what i mean! In the end, all of our ultimate goal of this little journey is to make mods to help keep out animals heathy! Not for some gift cert. or free tank! Of course I will take it if it was presented to me! Also I think it will be important to give credit to who ever we copy from! Link to comment
alexwbush Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I think you guys should post your mods and ideas as they come. It would be obvious if someone was trying to copy and it would help us people who may not enter the open contest get and idea of how we can modify our tanks! Link to comment
trumph Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Having a great time already with this contest...can't wait to read the posts or see the pics each day & it just started. I just hope that I don't see too many mods that I want to use on my 24. Over 3 months of modding with the water in and I don't even have a fish or a coral yet! Think my cycle is done?? Oh, and I think oogie is leading the open so far with that SCWD pic. What are the odds in Vegas?? Link to comment
crrichey Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Has anybody thought about just doing an fish-only system? This goes a little against what the contest SEEMS to be about, but what about a fish-only system using quality synthetic corals? As much as they cost, it would take about the same amount of time to get the aquarium filled with fake corals as it would with real, lol! Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 i don't think fake coral's would show much progression. i'm hoping to see lots of aquascaping ideas. kind of bored at looking at rock walls and piles. Link to comment
rickjg Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I finished my lighting mods for now (maybe more later) 2.27+1.18=72 watts +48LED fuge lighting http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=58141 Rick Link to comment
crrichey Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 Thats what I was kind of thinking too. Link to comment
rickjg Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 Wow only four OPENers and five STOCKers in the contest? I expected a lot more, maybe as time goes by more will join up. I think that wild custom MH job Oogie is working on has scared off the other OPENers. Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 sweet tank rick. already fully stocked. who needs 6 months of progression? Link to comment
rickjg Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Originally posted by EtOH_is_good who needs 6 months of progression? There will still be a lot of progression and change over the duration of the contest. Except for oogie, the other OPENers are being pretty quiet on the posts. Link to comment
RedKnightSpecial Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I am just a noob, but I am ordering a 'cube next week, so I will be able to start a little late. Is that allowed? Link to comment

Is that allowed? "The end date of the contest is November 30. All entries must be submitted no later than midnight eastern time on December 10." My understanding is that you can start a tank anytime before Nov 30. The longer you wait to start the tank the less progression you will have, and you score could be lower, so get going ASAP. Any admin’s want to comment??? ??? Link to comment
RedKnightSpecial Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 yeah..you just can't be sure from the wording of the rules, but your opinion seems to be the right one. Seeing as I am pretty much a noob, I don't think I will be winning, but I am gonna try! Link to comment
EtOH_is_good Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 damn! max has a clam in his cube and it's stock. watch out for the clam police. Link to comment

crrichey Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 I hate to say this, but I am starting to get bored of my nanocube. I didn't have the money to do a bunch of mods like I wanted, and the stock cube isn't living up to me expectations. Not saying I am out, just expressing my feelings (thought why I am is still a question ) Link to comment
alexwbush Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I am very tempted to enter this contest (stock). But that would mean my premium stuff (which I have very little of), would have to go into this tank. And all I would have in my modded nc12 would be SPS. And chris isn't helping talk me out of it!

supernip Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 just the fact that your nanocube survived till the end of the competition is a prize in itself. Link to comment
