anyone game for a build off?

[Anonymous]

one tank, ten gallon max, and several months to create...

the winner is decided by a poll.

sound like fun?

Hmmm...I'm listening.
I have $200 credit at a local store.

I guess that the result will depend on your budget. You should put a limit. Or make categories (under $100, 100-300, etc.)

That was my main concern.

Sounds interesting, but I think there needs to be a budget limitation. Of course, it would have to be on the honor system

Heck, I might be able to drum up some prizes for the winner

 

[Anonymous]

But price depends on source, hmmm wait, I'm in

You might want to set a specific site/place as a price guideline for this.

i just thought it seemed like neat idea.
[shirk] if Len wanted to make rules and prizes i would be down wit dat![/shirk]

also, i am in agreement with whatever limitations, i just wanna play the game..

I think there should be devisions (sp?) that would show us new to the hobbie what it really takes to make this all happen, and how many diffrent things you can do and get a real good tank.

Aww, man! I wish you guys woulda thought this up a couple of weeks ago. I'm too deep in my prop tank project, which I'm already over budget for.

I wish I was not in the middle of my 60. This sounds like fun.

 

[Anonymous]

What if I already started?

Can I just drain out the water and say it is a new project?

I am already done w/ my cycling! It has only been a few weeks...

Price will depend on the equipment on hand. How about a list of standard equipment. ( tank, pump, lighting, etc will not be taken out of price limit). Optional equipment and inhabitants will count toward price limit.

Yea, it's really a great idea, but the person whom already has a 180 Gallon mature tank that they can draw life and rock and sand, etc from will blow away anyone like myself that would have to pay for that stuff.

Hmmmm, I really love the idea, but I can not think how to make it fair AND fun.

If you guys can come up with some good rules, I'm in! :lol:

 

[Anonymous]

I'm game as well. How about allowing different size tanks though, perhaps in separate categories within the contest?

Some people may want (me me me) to start a 29 rather than a 10 and maybe we would get more participants.

i'm in on this, this would be the perfect tank for the newborn's room

 

[Anonymous]

Can I play, too?

 

[thefedz]

i propose:

max of 15 gallons
100 dollar limit on equipment (including tank/lighting/filtration)
150 dollar limit for livestock (including LR/sand)
Contest runs for 4 months from start date
You MUST document/log/post your work. ideally with photographs

And the biggest thing is:
nothing allowed from a previously established tank

But equipment could be used, right? In other words we can revamp the "old" light fixture, etc. that is lying around the house.

Yes, and you can enter the contest as well

So that means you cannot put in any coral frags!!?? I was in until that rule.
