Really nice tank!! I don't even want to go into the sweat and tears and time that went into just building the overflow on my nano after seeing you bang that together so quickly.

Just trying to keep things fresh!

I'm glad everyone approves, I was a little nervous that I may have pushed the envelope a little too far. Thanks everyone, I've got more surprises planned for this one, so stay tuned!

You were close... sorta.. lol It was "mentioned" briefly in the original thread to be 10G display. But never "added" to the guidelines. lol... Yours isn't 10G anymore..

Would it be against the rules to cure the rock in a lit vat or something? I seem to recall the rules stating only the display had to be dry till the 15th. I just figure getting the cycle over with before the 15th would allow a little more time for stocking/growing/maturing.

Go ahead, just keep your tank dry until the 15th.
