The reason I voted for the $50 increase is that I feel it brings us close to the $300 US budget used on the Nano-Reef contest.

Tell me about it, I would be able to get the fish I WANTED with that extra cash.. lol

oh yah!

Yeah buddy I'm really curious how you're going to stick with the Hawaiian theme. That region has specific coral and fish not found anywhere else plus you can't export coral from Hawaii so I guess fish only? :mrgreen:

From what I am been reading Zoas are abundant in hawaii... I can attempt to replicate.. :smilecol:

I couldn't agree more. Our threads are busy....our controversial conversations even more so!

In keeping with your theme, I thought maybe you could make this your central piece:

I think that if some of you spend $300 and some spent $450 my vote will take that into account for sure.:wink:
Contest was started at $300 so my 2 cents is to keep it at that now.
Next time around it can be made at a different cost.
The whole idea was to budget and by adding cash that defeats that purpose.
Also looks like you are all split on how much to add as your votes are all pretty even.
Looking forward to seeing the end results regardless on what you all decide to do.:biggrin:

Just noticed this thread. must have been started while i was away. i would be in for a small increase, however if this were to happen i feel we would need atlead 65% of enrooled reefers to agree.

Thanks Drew! I always wanted to taste what a latte was like through my nose! :D
