How would you factor in trading? E.g I buy some awesome zoas, then 3 months in trade with someone else for a piece of SPS, etc.

Taken from NR.

Im sure we could change this around if need be. (I probably haven't been around long enough to know what everything goes for in the B&S area, so would be nice to have a 2nd member with some background knowledge to help out organizing)

ADDENDUM A:
Calculating "cost" for livestock that was free, rec'd in trade, or purchased at wholesale prices, etc.
-Items rec'd free-- an amount will be deducted from your budget equivalent to what that livestock would commonly be sold for in Livestock Classified Forum of NR.com. Please PM me a pic, along with common name, and I will give you a "price". I have sold and bought quite a bit on the NR Classified Forum over the last two years, and I think I have a pretty good feel for what stuff sells for on here.
If you don't feel this is satisfactory, you would probably be better off not competing in this contest.
-Items rec'd in trade- Same as above.
-Items purchased at wholesale prices-Same as above.
-Items on which you scored a good deal- If you can provide proof of the price you got, cost will be figured at the actual price you paid. If it was a transaction w/a private individual, have them hand-write you a receipt, scan it, and post it on your thread.

I can help out if it we can get some interest and some mod. support.

ahhh, what about 30g "nanos". In some circles those are still considered nanos.

michika · #5 09-23-2008, 04:08 AM

I like the idea of 30g too. I'd be more inclined to participate in a 30g build.

This contest is starting from scratch... not a tank you currently have running..

The idea is to keep it at a low budget, 30G would get too expensive..

I would like to join in on this. I also think the 20 - 30 gal is too easy. I think the 5.5 or the 10 gal would be more of a challenge.

Stab_Master_Arson · #8 09-24-2008, 02:47 AM

BTW guys.

Count me in

10 gallon

Do we have to wait until the 15th to fill our tank/cycle. I assume yes we do.

Yup.. Tank must stay dry till the 15th.

I have PM'd Christy to get her to setup a Contest sub-section for all the Contest journals, in the Tank Journal section. You must have a thread with a photo of the stock AGA 5.5G or 10G tank with something in it (pop can, cat, wife, etc) on the entry day, Oct 15 (along with the $20 entry fee), however I can't accept entry fees for a few days while I wait for PP to recognize my bank account information.
