phergus_25 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I figgured that we should use the other thread for helping design the rules, so I figgured we could use this to share your ideas about your setup. Including livestock, corals, shrimp.... and so on and so on. I'm really excited about this contest I think its gonna be a great way to see abunch of new ideas. -greg Link to comment

phergus_25 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 I;m not too shure what a good invert would be its hard to stock with only 2.5 gal of H2o. so I'm here for ideas too. Link to comment

GrizzleBee's Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I saw cool tank at shed's in Chicago. It was a mangrove tank with rocks and mangroves above the water line. It had fiddler crabs, and camel shrimp clinging to the mangrove pods. I think They said that was the shrimps natural habitat... I call that idea!!!! Link to comment
phergus_25 Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 A mangrove would be too big I would think, but I'm shure you could get smaller plants Link to comment
Casabubu Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I plan on modding the hell out of my tank! Im talkin false walls, hydor flow, ato, refugium, and maybe even metal halide. btw, have you noticed that its only us teans that have posted in this thread thus far? Link to comment

Green-Day711 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have been quiet this whole time...but you wait. I'll surprise you all. Link to comment
GrizzleBee's Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 yeah, no doubt. Ahh man... I've got so many ideas for this thing... Now I'm thinkin' a species tank... or maybe a green theme... OR a tidepool type thing. I thought of a system the other day involving spinkler valves and a float switch... But I dont want to make this too complicated...You know... funds... Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 i am formualting (lol..big word and spelling?) some thoughts in my head for the look (aquascaping) but i am still stumped on stocking..i will have to think it out...lol...ya i might just stop talking about what im going to do...and (as Green-day711 would say it) surprise you all, Link to comment
mik Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I got such an awesome original design for this tank but it as well is gonna be a suprise so hold onto you seats kiddies! Cant wait for this contest to get underway. Link to comment
jmorris Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I can't say my idea is all that original (all sps) but hopefully my implementation will be. I just love tinkering, so DIY stuff is a ton of fun for me. This tank will have DIY: 70w metal halide, refugium, overflow, skimmer, and maybe more. I'm also putting more flow in this tank than may have ever been atempted in such a small tank I am useing cooked rock and going BB... so hopefully it doesnt just look f***ing baren, lol! Good luck, Jared Link to comment
