i was in on the first contest and here's my 2 pennies.

total volume... does it include external overflows, sumps? make it known.

imo no existing tanks... isn't the whole point of this to see a tank from startup to the end date? also levels the playing field. you could use these tanks if you want to empty and start anew.

budget.. i wouldn't include glass (unless starfire.. add the difference), plumbing or stands in this.. just lights, skimmer,heater, doser pumps/ph's etc. and yes livestock too. again keep the playing field fair. all expenses should be shown. Use an online retailer or two ( any, maybe even an American one) for pricing. level playing field and all...

just my thoughts..

i may be in.. its debatable.

Yeh I'm not tearing down. I like the idea of a fun contest for appeal. Knowing what I spent on equip seems like a contest of fortune. I understand listing equipment as there are some damn techy nanos, but don't feel it should sway into a comp. I would base it on appeal and growth and maybe crashes during

My tanks been up for two months if that's not new enough I'll just have to spectate

dude buy yourself a cheap 5g tank and have fun it doesnt need to be expensive it just has to sustian life for a certian period of time... im in on this one and will be building from ground up as usuall hehe..

here is an example of a nano that is cost effective but most likely wont win
