RULES:
Spending limits: - 5.5g AGA= $250 CDN - 10g AGA= $300 CDN Not covered in budget (i.e. considered "free") - Contest Display Tank - Building supplies (eggcrate, stand/canopy materials, plumbing, acrylic/glass scraps, etc) - Sand - Live Rock - Water and salt - Food - Supplements - Accessories less than $15 (mag floats, tongs, thermometers, etc) GENERAL GUIDELINES & RULES: - All used equipment utilized in contest will be deducted from your budget at 75% of the lowest advertised price from J&L Aquatics. For equipment purchased online, only deduct the actual price of the equipment from the budget, don't deduct shipping costs. - All live stock can come from anywhere, CR Vendors, LFS, online, whatever. If you use something from a current tank, you deduct it's fair market value. If you purchase livestock online, you deduct the actual price paid for the livestock from the budget, but don't count shipping costs. - Tank can be purchased locally and will not count against budget. (Sump tank will count against your budget, should you choose to incorporate one) - You can mod your tank as much as you want, as long as you start with a STOCK tank and deduct costs from your budget. - Budget is done on the honor system since we all know what its all worth (for most things). - There is an entry fee of $20.00, which must be received by 10/15 to lock you into the contest. These fees will be used for the prizes at the end of the contest. Entry fees are non-refundable after 10/15. - Contest begins Oct 15, 2008 and ends April 15, 2009. In short, you've got 6 months to make a sweet tank on a limited budget. Lighting fixtures, filters, skimmers, and livestock all count towards budget, so manage wisely. - Start a tank thread for your contest tank by Oct 15, so we can see it's progression as it goes along. It wouldn't hurt to put a link to your contest tank thread in your sig, but I don't know that we should require it. You don't have to start your tank thread immediately, as long as you do it by Oct 15. - On the 15th of every month, post a FTS of your tank on your thread. - When we reach the end of the contest, Myself (or Christy) will start a thread showing all of the tanks and their specs, with an attached poll for ALL of Canreef to vote on the winners. - The winners will receive a gift certificate to the Canreef sponsor/vendor of their choice, taken from the entry fees. - Basically, we'll take all the $$ contributed for the entry fee and divide it up into 3 equal portions for the winning gift certificates. michika and I will be running the contest, so if you have any questions or concerns that cannot be addressed on this thread, PM one of us. On a final note, the goal of this contest is to HAVE FUN and just see how many CREATIVE IDEAS we can all come up with and inspire each other with. I've done the best I can to alter this contest for fit into our forum here on Canreef, but the fact is that not everyone will be happy with the contest rules as they've been established. If you don't think that you can participate under the established guidelines, then your time and $$ is probably best spent on a tank that you truly will enjoy and keep in the long run. We want to keep this a positive and enjoyable experience for everyone, so... Were in here does it say that i must provide a newly updated budget by the 15th if it hasnt changed? if this is why im getting booted out then my budget was the same as when i posted it 3 weeks back and as for a full tank pic on the 15th well there wasnt one to take... untill the last week or so there wasnt any one with the amount of pics that i have on my thread, and i still have more then the average person. in the rules it says that we must have started a thread by the 15th of oct i did that no were does it say I MUST HAVE WATER IN THIS THING even in march????????? So i guess congrats Chaloupa on the win with the 5.5 Last edited by scholar; 11-20-2008 at 07:46 AM.

Since so many rules have been changed and changed, I agree this might be one more little change. Let him stay.
"The heater is from wallmart 25watts=$12=Free" I don't think we can claim free on used heaters.
