Nano Tank Contest #2 Poll: Categories

[Ron99]

Steve,

I am sure you are correct that some tanks will be taken down and some will live on. As long as people aren't throwing out their livestock and just putting it all back in a larger display I guess that is okay. I think the nicer nanos with a better shot at winning will be the ones that are intended to last and will therefor probably have more effort put into them.

And if you want a larger tank contest why not organize that yourself? I am now probably going to set up a 50 or 65 gallon tank as well so maybe I'll be into that too

...okay, see now this is why i think a max budget with no max volume would be a good idea. I don't think anyone in their right mind would try to seriously win this thing while budgeting for a tank over 20g or so anyways; certainly not over 30g, and that's pushing it. It also doesn't technically exclude anyone from entering the contest... so no ruffled feathers. It also allows any sized sump one could want... just have to budget for it. personally my definition of a nano only includes the display, not the sump (unless it is used for display purposes); stability of a system is just a fail safe and if some one wants to incorporate that into a nano, i say kudos; nanos shouldn't have to be unstable. shrug, jmo.
