It seems like the 4 person consensus (go vote people!) on the start date is looking like June 1 right now.

Most of the responses in the category poll came up as a Stock 10g with a limited budget, and a custom tank with a limited budget. However I did notice there was interest in pico-type tanks as well.

I'm still prefering a max volume of twice the size of the display, so 20g + 20g = 40g, but I'll go along with almost anything.

Budgets, I think, but anyone can pipe up here, that we are leaning towards a limited hardware budget, but unlimited livestock budget.

Rules...yeah...something something....rules...someone fill in this blank....rules...bla ba ba blacksheep have you any wool?

I say K.I.S.S. Basic guidelines could be: Max volume of 20 gallons + 10 gallons for a sump ( I think most people consider anything over 30 to 34 gallons isn't really a nano). Max hardware budget of $300? $400? Maybe $500? I bow to others on that. I plan on probably doing something in the 3 to 4 gallon range (so well within the size restriction) and I want it to come in below $300 so it really doesn't matter to me. Since livestock is so variable I agree that it is hard to agree on and police that budget so just have that open.

As I said, set some limits on max size and max spending and let people get creative within those limits.
