Nope external overflows are fine, I know the "limitations" on drilling the smaller thinner glassed tanks (never had any success myself). As long as the tank itself is 20g or less I would imagine it would be ok, the overflow could be considered part of the sump or just another piece of equipment much like a hang on skimmer or something.

Sounds good.
I guess we should find out how JDigital felt about the entry fees. Were they enough, etc. What else do we need? - Start & end dates - Contestants - Sticky with rules - Sponsors? - Prizes? - Winning lotto tickets

I'll throw in my 2 cents here and then wait for the contest to actually start.
I personally have fun building tanks on a buget, but I really like the various categories that Christy has posted. I also agree with the "no livestock (coral/fish/invert etc) to be added or removed by a certain date" thing....that's a rad Idea. I think if we go total system volume up to 50 gallons with a Display NO LARGER than 20 that'd be cool. I've got 10 gallons out the wazzoo, so will be using a stock 10 anyways, but I'd love to see what people come up with. Anyways, count me in for the 10 gallon on a budget one.

Only question I'd consider is... Will there be enough interest/entries to warrant so many categories? If people are paying an entrance and only 1 or 2 people are in a certain category... How would that work?
As a side not Ill enter regardless, think it'll be fun and as a bonus: drive my wife nuts with another tank scheme  Mentioned only as something to consider.

well I think I'd run a poll first to see if there is interest in each category but yeah, I think even if theres only a couple per category why not?

I'm probably down for the custom stuff on a budget. I need to get planning.

I like your suggestions Christy but agree it may be to many categories. Maybe cut it down to:
1. Stock tanks with a budget 2. Stock tanks with unlimited budget 3. Custom tanks with a budget 2. Custom tanks with unlimited budget That may be a bit more manageable. Otherwise the other suggested rules etc. look good to me.
