Default Unofficial start to Nano Contest #2 for eager beavers

Ok so Randi is a bit eager to get going on this contest , so those of you that are ready to rock and roll can 1. pay your entry fee and 2. get started on the build.

There will be NO water in these tanks though. The contest doesn't officially start until June 1st. But in light of Randi's boredom and penchant for injuring herself we really need to give her a project

We're talking custom tank builds and ammassing equipment and such. Those of you on a budget will need to keep track of your purchases etc. Those of you not on a budget, well yee haw, sky's the limit

Entry fees can be paid via paypal or email interac to seamonkey68@hotmail.com

Edit: paypal just hosed me for $1.28 in fees. I've never had that before, guess they've gotta get their share now too. So for those of you that are paying paypal, sorry but you'll have to pay $21.35 to cover it.

if you are unable to use these methods and want to pay cash, PM me for my address.

what do you have to offer me catherine....hmmmm? LOL

Icecream in a waffle cone assuming I ever head out to nanaimo....which come to think of it, is a real possibility. My buddy works at a tattoo shop out there, wouldn't mind popping by for a couple days one of these days...

Can we change that to no life forms in the tank? I'd kinda like to do some testing/tuning of the carlson surge; and I've learned that SG matters with these devices - otherwise I'd be asking for freshwater testing

Well I have this tank sitting here from the previous contest, seems a waste to not use it for this one... And it's stupidly overbuilt to not use it for a surge tank
