I think it would be fun if use salty monsters had ourselves a in forum Nano tank contest. We could limit the total water volume to 30 gallons. Anything from .5-30 total gallons would work. We could set a date and create a thread for our tanks and it would be like a blog. Any updates pics could be posted so other people can watch the progress. We could have it for lets say 6 months. A date would be set that everyone would start and then they have a week to post the first pics in their thread. At the end of the contest we could create a poll and the winner would be be picked that way. As far as a prize is concerned I can pm a few mods and see if they are interested but even if a prize is not available I think this would be fun. Please post your suggestions.
 
I have a friend that built a 2.5 gallon Reef tank with a drilled 2.5 gallon sump. Absolutely amazing accomplishment!

have any basic guidelines already sorted out?
like what can/can't go in there, max/min $, that sort of thing?
 
Yes I have worked out a list of set rules. I can post them if people are interested in this contest.
 
I will post the rules tomorrow.
 
OK everyone who is interested. Here are the rules thus far:

-MOST Important this is a way for us salty MFK'rs to stick together and show our love for salt tank.
-The TOTAL water volume must not exceed 30 gallons.
-No current setups will be allowed. This must be a dry tank and sump
-There will be a start date and time when that is posted any person wanting to enter must start a thread and update it regularly
-The contest will run for 6 months
-After the 6 months I will post a poll and everyone can vote on their favorite tanks. I am not a mod so this depends on If I can get a mod to help.
-I will try to get a prize for this contest. I will talk to the mods and see if we can get something worked out. If nothing is provided I will provide something good!
-Any type of salt system will work but it must be a full salt setup.


Any suggestions welcome
 
i plan on tearing down the 29 biocube and redoing it, could this count?
reef only?
if i had set up like a 20gal could i plumb it to a 5 gal tank, and have the 5 gal as the entry?
 
If you tore down your tank and started setting it back up on the contest entry date then yes that would be fine.the tank size entered is the main tank but the total water volume can noty exceede 30 gallons.
