What I would like to see if Contest #1 finished before Contest #2 takes over the boards. This thread keeps being used and is on page 1. The voting threads for contest #1 is now buried on page 3. "How long is your photoperiod" is now the featured poll on page 1. Voting for Contest #1 never even made it to the front page polls. Sorry, but alot of people put in alot of work for the first contest and it would be nice to give them a couple of days of attention.

Sorry I meant to make a new forum for it. I don't think both contests should be in the same one, takes away from each IMO.

the polls aren't locked, just the threads are. I just didn't want people posting in them so I could bump them up occasionally.

bloody hell, just when I think I have this stupid program figured out. Sorry about that. It was just supposed to be locked for posting not voting too.

The program is out to get you!

So everyone, what is the plan? I'm starting to plan this all out already, but I need some goals and limations placed on my potential craziness....shall we get on it?

Lets rock and roll. What was the general consensus on rules and categories and stuffs?

Should we sort of roll it out like this years? With voting for a "best tank" and "most innovative" category?

I was thinking we could go with a tank size limit/water volume limit for both a stock and custom category (I was thinking max tank size 20 gal, max water volume 30 then it squeaks in as a nano and those doing a 20gal can have a sump). Then do limited and unlimited budget for each leaving 4 categories total?? Simplifies it a little.

It seems like the 4 person consensus (go vote people!) on the start date is looking like June 1 right now.

Most of the responses in the category poll came up as a Stock 10g with a limited budget, and a custom tank with a limited budget. However I did notice there was interest in pico-type tanks as well.

I'm still prefering a max volume of twice the size of the display, so 20g + 20g = 40g, but I'll go along with almost anything.

Budgets, I think, but anyone can pipe up here, that we are leaning towards a limited hardware budget, but unlimited livestock budget.

Rules...yeah...something something....rules...someone fill in this blank....rules...bla ba ba blacksheep have you any wool?
