Anyway, I was just trying to play devil's advocate here. It doesn't directly affect me in any real way (unlike the huge amount of PVC cement I spilled on my carpet this weekend).

ahah I love it when that happens... I generally tend to get it on my cloths and the little bit of hair that I do have

Are you fantasizing again? Oh.. burn!

I'm just saying since the deadline for water is Nov 15th that's kind of the real deadline here. After that we can't let more people in. Let's keep true to the "it's all for fun" spirit for once and let Wes in, provided he can meet the deadline.

So I gotta chase entry fees down for another 2 weeks for anyone that wants to enter before Nov 15, just because they weren't sure what to do 2 weeks ago?

None of us knew what to expect, because this is the first one, and yet 12 of us still jumped on board and took the chance. It's pretty easy to say let others in when you don't have to give up some of your personal time organizing monies collection/transfers/cheque cashing...

I have paypal or can send an email money transfer... with a little extra for your time ahah

Come on have a little more confidence in yourself... you should just see it as another $20 in your pocket (or tank) when you win... right?

Next time I guess

My mom said it's just because you're all scared so I'll try to keep the tears to a minimal... I guess in a way it's kinda flattering ahaha

ahah But Seriously...that's cool. I just thought I'd check... but don't want to make work for anyone.

Haha.. I gotta throw up the counter-arguement... It might not seem like it for everyone, but keeping track of everyones payments originally was not enjoyable, and it's not fair if I only let you in the next 2 weeks before the 15th.

I think I'll regret this.............

If anyone wants to join late, these are the stipulations:

- $20 Entry
- $5 Late Fee
- $1.50 Paypal Fee (if I don't make you cover paypal fees, we will loose more (because of the $5 late fee, pp fees go up more) than we already did in the first batch of contestants, however I do have to thank Ryan Lap for covering the PP fees on his entry)

$26.50 Total.

- PAYPAL ONLY. (Checks/Money Orders/EMT's take too long to process)
- Do Not miss the Nov 15th Deadline. (ie: Tank must be up and running wet)

Again just to clarify... everyone must have water in the tank by November 15th?? With rock? What about live stock? Will there be any other dates that stuff must be done by besides the monthly photo?

Just curious... cause I don't want to accidentally get disqualified

Won't it just be divided into 2 for "best tank" and "most innovative"

Just Curious

Best Tank
- 5.5G
- 10G
- Most innovative between everything.

Red Coral doesn't come out of the entry fee.

Water w/ Live Rock..

Monthly photo needs to be accompanied by budget update on the 15th of every month.
