Zev Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 it may be that we could run one competition with multiple classes for entry. This could be: • off the shelf tanks, two classes 40l and below41l and above • open section, two classes 65l and below66l and above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 This could be: • off the shelf tanks, two classes 40l and below41l and above • open section, two classes 65l and below66l and above Yeah, but I read the rules, so what about my 47L. It isn't 65L or 66L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 well its over 41L if its 'off the shelf', or under 65 if its a normal tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 well its over 41L if its 'off the shelf', or under 65 if its a normal tank Oh, I know, I just wanted to be obnoxious for a bit. I don't even have a tank that small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 well then get one! (because we all need an excuse to set up another tank) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Sounds like I'll be able to enter with a 60 x 30 x 30 tank if you guys decide that you'll be holding the competition for glass tanks. :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Although now that we might be able to enter tanks over 40ltrs we'll have to use more than just 11W of light so it's going to get real complicated with different rules for different sections of the competition.

SamH Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 This could be: • off the shelf tanks, two classes 40l and below41l and above • open section, two classes 65l and below66l and above *sigh* This makes it far too broad IMO. 66L above is huge! More rescrictions are needed or you could have 66L's vs 1000L's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagonman Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I say under 40L All In One Off the shelve tank's, that is what the 1st 2 pages of this topic are dedicated to, it is just going to get messy otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I still think this is an awesome idea, but is it going to be a one off competition or a long running event? Perhaps prizes only for this one and a prizeless monthly comp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 i think we should do this one as under 40L off the shelf tanks, then start planning the next one with a different theme - 'custom' tanks, or big tanks or something. Could make it a constant thing with 4 different comps a year, one for each type of tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJeff Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I agree - this should be an all in one off the shelf comp. As Wagonman has said that is how this discussion started out... and for beginners being that this discussion has been in the beginners section? Definately let it be the beginning of many comps aimed at various other categories Keep everyone happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 As I said earlier: I think they should be bog standard, out of the box. You can add a heater only. If you happen to have a tank that has two lamps, then so be it. It is more of a challenge to see what can be achieved with an off the shelf tank as inspiration to others with limited space or budget.

Carlos & Siran Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 We get our AR380 next week, can't wait to start, the ideas are flying around allready. Have the rules been set yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinkles Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 i'm sure we're all struggling to pin it down to one idea think i've got mine 1/2 planned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately let it be the beginning of many comps aimed at various other categories Keep everyone happy I think it should be open to anyone, the point of the exercise is to see what can be achieved with an off the shelf tank, without any mods as inspiration for beginners as well as experienced members. We can look at starting with just this one, but you will all have to wait until after the Exec meeting next weekend to see how and if this will proceed, so a little patience for a week is required, thanks.

So the competition might not actually happen? Also if we only find out next weekend if it's going to happen then theres not much time to get everything ready for when the comp starts.

Caryl Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 That depends on when we decide the competition finishes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zev Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 We are still looking at two to three months before judging, so you should have plenty of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarrenB Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Why Not ... F.N.Z.A.S. AQUARIUM OF THE MONTH Each month anyone can send a photo to a special email, and a judge will then narrow down the entries to 10. Then a new post can be started and we can all vote. The photo should need to include the whole aquarium (you can see the sides in photo) so clever people can't just do half a tank and zoom up to the good side. As for size why not just include any as the bigger the tank the more work so in theory the smaller the tank the better anyway. Winners could be posted on the F.N.Z.A.S homepage? This means that us who don't have the cash to go and by a $200+ tank of the self are included. Or if these guys want their own let them and us DIY'ers can have our own, F.N.Z.A.S. DIY AQUARIUM OF THE MONTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I still think there should be two competitions, a 40ltr and under all in one tank competition and a 40ltr and under glass tank competition where you get prizes for 1st and then the winners of each competition get their tanks photos posted on the forum like POTM and have the rest of the forum vote for their favourite. Also you should only be able to use DIY CO2 and any other fertilizers that you want but only 11W of light. But I understand that this started off as a 40ltr and under all in one tank only competition and most people will think it’s unfair if you make another competion for 40ltr and under glass tanks.

twinkles Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 thats why we should do glass tanks for the next round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-town... Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 What about 10litre and under competition'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
