Small Tank Contest

[TheMightyQueenPixie]

Hello all Lately I have noticed an increase of questions from people with small tanks and what to do with them....I thought i might be fun to have a contest involving tanks under 5 gals.. Members could post pics, specs and cost of their small set ups and perhaps it could form an archive that could be used by others with small tanks. The only criteria is that it is a safe, healthy environment for the selected species, ie. if it has tropical fish, it must have a suitable heater, filter etc....Inhabitants can be fish, frogs, or invertabrates...plants can be live or fake...Limit is 50 US or 70 Canadian spent...If using "used" equipment, include the price to purchase new...Entries can be e mailed to me and I will post them here annonymously..
Let me know if anyone is interested...I will award 25 dollars (US, to US folk, CDN to canadian folk) to the person that can come up with the most interesting tank. Winner can be decided by votes from AC members. Let me know what you think.

Almost forgot...No "baby fish" that cannot live out a normal life in the tank ie. no baby oscars...Existing tanks can be entered if you have one running...If I get 5 people to commit I will give a deadline and officially start the contest...Tentatively lets say Dec. 3, 2005 as the cut off date for entries. Voting during the week after that, and the award being presented Dec. 10.That should give pople enough time to seed their tanks and get their plants going...PM me if you want to commit to the contest..

Thanks Pixie stoke the addiction – what’s next passing out crack at the rehab centre or yelling “I’ll drink to that at the AA meeting”? MTS is a disease have some compassion.

Just kidding, cool idea and putting up your own funds wow!

Does the spending cap apply to just the set up or to the inhabitants as well?
