Beats me, that wasn't the case when I set up the poll. People keep changing their minds.

As I have it set now, the "limited" part means limited for both equipment and livestock.

I don't see the point in set volumes. give em a budget (equipment and livestock) and let them go at it; if they choose a larger size, their livestock budget takes a dent; if a smaller volume is chosen, more goes into livestock. I say let each contestant weigh the pros/cons of their choice.

You gotta at least have a max volume, otherwise we might as well enter our tank builds..

If its a nano contest, you gotta have nano tanks. (>30G IMO)

I agree. Set a max volume and max budget and then unleash the hounds. Sorry, I think I am repeating myself in these various threads

I strongly disagree with the set limit that 30g and under makes a nano....

What do you mean by that Catherine?? I'm of the mind that it should really be 20g or less if thats what you mean?
