i dunno if spending hundreds of dollars on a new tank and dedicating so much time to maintaining an additional tank is worth just bragging rights

I'll say you can't have teams if you have a rule stating no borrowing. Those two don't mix as you can borrow anything you want if you add team members....

Honestly I think you have too many rules and dates. I don't see why you can't allow borrowing and if people want to work together then let them. And what's will all the dates? Why can't people add rock/livestock from the start? You can't even add rock until 45 days after the contest starts... And then another 15 days after that before livestock is added... Seems to me the first two months are going to be pretty lame, interest will likely drop, I know mine has already Remember it's a nano tank, most people set these things up over a weekend if that. Sure if people want to go slow that's good too but forcing everyone to follow the same timeline doesn't usually work for everyone.

If people are looking for a prize I can contribute.

ok im all ears , copy and paste the rules with the dates you think would work best and we can see what everyone thinks, ive had a few people say theyd like to start right away:P


the idea of the lenth is to determine how well over time your nano does if its a 2 week contest then there will not be much to judge on but the looks it self.

the month and a half in the beginning is for the reason of planning ,saving and getting what you need, if someone wishes to fly right through it they need only document everything and post the appropriate pics on the dates.

there are actually only a few dates where pics are mandatory, if not people will stop posting or only post once a month with like 50 pics:P


its basically a 6 mth journal, the judges will watch it and follow your posts, pics and updates on everything that happens.

im kinda against the teams myself, if you need help with something sure but a flat out team, not officially.....i think silent teams will happen anyways
