Well unfortunately my black thumb has moved to affect my pico too. I cant keep up with it. It had a feather duster and a flower nem in it but when other stuff started dying I pulled them to protect them and now thats all I have left. We leave for disney on thursday morning so all my $$$ has been going toward that and haveent put anything into the tank. I was very excited for this contest but sometimes life and bad luck get in the way. Tank is still up but just has some asterina stars in it.

This is correct.

This is why I am thinking we should leave it alone.

only goes to the advice budget. and $0.02 is the max anyway

So here are my thought on this. the idea of the budget was to level the playing field. I think the budget limits that were set for livestock are more than adequate. the idea of the slush fund was to settle the debate about getting tanks for different prices and saving $ by building a diy vs an AIO vs something else. One idea was to split tank and equipment and livestock and corals. but if we do that then others (including me) lose our slush fund that we had set aside for livestock or corals (if i had set it aside for equipment it would not change). Another would be to make ANY leftover in ANY budget move to a slush. In that case why have individual budgets why not just say "limit is $550, GO!" I vote that because the contest has already started we keep it as is and not make any changes. its not any different than it was when you started the contest. we can then take these ideas and incorporate them into the next contest. With that being said lets figure out how to make this a club sponsored event. I know Capt. Obvious, who was working on getting prizes, has gotten prize offers if it is. Neptune comes to mind as one that said they would offer something up if it was sponsored. That is my $0.02. take it or leave it.

Yes for the voting thread or yes is your vote???????? Things to ponder I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life.

I like Kim's idea best. I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life.

I think the rules stated you had to enter by feb 15. But by starting a build thread that is entering. so you should be ok. I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life.

Sorry guys been working A LOT this week and last. Tonight at midnight i will post something. The way to start the contest is to take a pic of your dry tank where you can see the post on the screen. whether your tablet is inside the tank or the tank is next to your computer or whatever. then post that picture as the first post in your build thread. put your build threads here in the pico contest forum. remember to give everyone a monthly update in your build thread. the contest will last 6 months. See the first post for the rules. See you guys at midnight.

Water test done tonight. Used it to house some corals while I did some work on my DT. Dont worry its dry now. I love this tank. Its going to look great. As far as the goal. Its to have the one voted the best by your peers and some judges (who have yet to be determined) I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life.

Create your build thread in the pico contest forum. I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life.

Haha. Sorry. Its a work thing. I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life.
