Yep you can get started planning and such, go nuts! The actual "start date" is March 1st, meaning you need to have rock and water in it by that date if you get it in before then, more power to ya but remember creativity and design are also parts of the contest

Every electronic component is shipped with smoke stored deep inside.... only a real genius can find a way to set it free.

Hey guys, I just amended the rules a bit.


For those of you that are getting started right away (or even for those of you that aren't). Please start your tank thread with a photo of a dry tank (or put it in there somewhere for those of you building custom tanks). Just to make sure we're all on the same page.

And well, we all seem to get just as excited about an empty tank as much as a full one

interesting, So the tank can be cycled by the start date. not to start anything but to assure everything is fair, no livestock before start date?? or can live stock be added?

No livestock before start date, rock and water only.
