I voted both customs and other which I think should be 30G or smaller... There is a entire forum devoted to Nano Tanks, and 30G (or smaller) is definitely considered a Nano.

Then again, maybe I shouldn't have voted if I'm not participating..

Yeah I get that, IMO nano tanks are a challenge due to small water volume. I don't really see anything larger than a 20 gallon as much of a challenge, in that way, of course theres the rest of the "fun" that goes along with reef tanks in general Thats just me tho.

i voted for all the limited cash options as there are people out there with more money and resources than others. Also i think a 20-25 G catagory may spark more interest.

I think a 30g or so contest would be a great idea.

I also really like the 30g option, however, I didn't read the posts before I voted...my bad. So 1+ on the other 30g option please.

I'm probably only interested in a 5.5 unlimited budget, or a custom around the same size unlimited budget.

Wait a sec...is this budget we're voting on just for equipment or livestock too? If it's just for equipment my vote would be different. So I think I might have messed up there...

limited budget means there will be a cap on livestock/equipment

I thought it was pretty much decided on that livestock wasn't going to be limited, and there was debate on whether the equipment would be limited?
