Might be a bit too stressful to enter the contest without any prior experience. Why not just slow down and go at your own pace instead? the contest just adds pressure as a newb you don't need. I feel the same sometimes, but not sure I have the heart to give up. The first 6 months can be the hardest with this hobby and a new tank....

^^^^^^^

Don't sell. Just drop the contest and take it slow. There's lots of help on here

+1. No need for the contest. This hobby is all about passion. A contest is not something that should get you down.

Ask this question: did you get into this hobby for this contest or because you wanted to?

If 2nd part is your answer, then just take things slow. I am a newby like you (been four months or something) and till now, I have faced quite a few bumps but nothing has let me down; and I believe its worth it

If 1st part is your answer, well its your call then

Here Here, "Nothing Good Happens In A Salt Water Tank Fast, Just Bad Happens Fast!"

Pull out, sit back and just take it nice n slow. Ask lots of question, (even if people like to be *#%} heads on here most will help you lots) and relax- Your build is doing great so far. Just stick with it and all will pay off.
(Hint... Don't throw money at problems, get advice and ask for help there are lots of people here that will help and may have just what you need! We all started out right where you are)

It's one of the MOST debatable hobby out there. Something that work's for someone's tank might work JUST THE OPPOSITE for another tank. You have to test and find your tank's requirement by yourself. Others are here to guide you, but at the end of the day, its you tank and you are the one who should take the risk of trying out to find which works best for you. That's just part of every hobby
