Yep you can get started planning and such, go nuts! The actual "start date" is March 1st, meaning you need to have rock and water in it by that date if you get it in before then, more power to ya but remember creativity and design are also parts of the contest

Every electronic component is shipped with smoke stored deep inside.... only a real genius can find a way to set it free.

Hey guys, I just amended the rules a bit.


For those of you that are getting started right away (or even for those of you that aren't). Please start your tank thread with a photo of a dry tank (or put it in there somewhere for those of you building custom tanks). Just to make sure we're all on the same page.

And well, we all seem to get just as excited about an empty tank as much as a full one

No livestock before start date, rock and water only.

I'm tempted to join in on this one. The first one was a lot of fun. However, I don't think it'll fly with the wife. I just finally transferred my my contest tank to the new house and it had to go to the basement ahah apparently our new place is too pretty for my garbage tank to be on the upper levels ahah
