Nano Tank Contest #2 Poll: Categories

[sphelps]

I'm building a new tank to but it's around 100gallons so can you make that the limit for the contest? When will the madness end, you can't adjust the rules of the contest so one contender gets to use something he already has. If it works out great, if not get over it.

I've never seen a 33 gallon nano, it's a 3 foot tank and people put tangs in them, since when do you keep such fish in a nano? If you make the volume range too big the unlimited livestock becomes somewhat of a joke. I think the smaller volume of total 20gal or less is key to making this work.

It all comes down to people's own definitions and it can be hard to reach consensus on things like what makes a nano. I spend alot of time on nano-reef.com and it seems that over there anything up to a 34 gallon red sea max is considered a nano. I think once you start getting into sumps etc. you are kind of getting out of what a nano is about; a small self contained bit of reef or ocean.

This is of course my opinion only and I am happy to entertain other people's thoughts and experiences on it. In the end somebody else will make the call on the rules for the contest. Hopefully they will have found this debate useful and will take into account the input we have all made to come up with something reasonable. And hopefully we can all be satisfied with the outcome. There will undoubtably be some who end up not getting what they want but c'est la vie, non?

not bending any rules, the original post was contest #2, not nano contest #2

Now Christy is pulling her hair out for ever stepping up so no more bickering.. the nano guys are having another contest and thats the end of it.


is your display 100 gal or the whole system volume? I have no problem with a contest allowing different size tanks, do you?

So is any progress being made with this?
