well dont know if I have been kicked out of the contest but i have just gotten back into my house and the water has now been added into the tank... please let me know if I have been removed due to this

Ok so just going over my budget just want to check to make sure I have this right.
Lights if it is approved= $60
The maxi Jet i had kicking around its sells for $21.95 so i count it as=$16.50
The heater is from wallmart 25watts=$12=Free
Compter supply i had kicking around I think they sell for $30ish=$20
The build material was all freebies and stuff kicking around the house plus I think that the building material was all free, correct?
So my total as i sit is $96.00

I do also have two small sticks of sps that are being dripped into the tank as we speak, both are 1inch maybe slightly smaller. I will have to read the price sheets etc also by the looks of another thread the budget has been updated? wow i need to start reading lol.

and posting some pic's as it looks like I have fallen way behind every one now.......

Update needed to be done by the 15th. This was made very clear from the beginning and reiterated many times, and I'm sticking to this ruling.

I'm sorry scholar, but you missed it. You've been removed from the contest.

Booo, the poor guy had some obvious issues, let's not loose another contender. Who really cares if he's a little behind, his disadvantage.

I gotta side with Steve on this one, not like it matters what we say. He's had a tough go at it it sounds like. I'd rather compete against him than have him spend the cash for no reason.

Just my 2 cents.

I, as many other could probably care less right now. Rules...what rules???

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

There are certain times were rules can be broken and exceptions can be made for the greater good. Is it wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family? However it is wrong to steal a loaf of bread to save a few bucks on your monthly food budget.
