Competition Registration and Rules

I don't intend on making a profit I am say that I trust Sean on what he is doing regardless...

 

@Lizid @f-fish

Nobody will be making profit from this competition... Come on guys, seriously. I'm running this competition for the benefit of the forums. Not to line my pocket. The prizes are costing me money, how the hell am I going to make profit? Come on... If I was going to use the journals as marketing, I would have stated that in the beginning. I'm just trying to do something for the good of the forum. Why does everything have to have ulterior motives??

 

Sorry Sean I was not intending to sound like that... I did not ever think you were running the comp to make money guy....

 

now do i trim or do i not trim
5weeks mmmmmm will grow back hopefully

 

Some tough choices to be made... Hehehehe...

 

i trimmed, overtrimmed maybe may have to glue on some more moss since my log looks bald now lol. plus i have my first surface leaf on one of my pixie lilies yay lol. i'm really looking forward to this tank maturing. planted the microsword as well. now to talk to the plants so they grow as my ma says lol

 

cant wait to see what SA is capable of..

 

Have to break my setup up halfway to move house

 

@Vis - Take pics of the tank before you have to break it up!! Then you can enter that "unfinished" scape.

 

Will do. I will even try and keep it in tact for the move but not sure if it would be possible.

 

How far is the move? Hopefully you can keep it all intact.

 

About 130KM over some not so nice roads.

 

good luck @Vis hope the move goes smoothly.

 

@Vis where you moving to?

 

So are you moving closer to JHB or further away?

 

Good luck @Vis!

I have one of my stems which has decided to fight with me and wont stay rooted! Im letting it float this week and will replant at the weekend. Its hard not to fuss with the tank, but for now I am keeping my hands off, I will only trim in a few weeks time, its not nearly ready for a trim.

 

Thanks guys .Moving to Witbank. Company is opening a new branch and I need to go run it.

 

@Vis, why not drain the tank completely,making sure you dont disturb the scape, use a tube to syphon. then use glad wrap to cover the top so you dont lose moisture. also save the water in a jerry can. then when you get to the new place all you have to do is slow drain the water back into the tank so the tank remains in its original state ive done this b4 with nannos. it works well because theres no water to "swoosh" around to mess up the scape when in transit.

also makesure its not in direct sunlight when transporting.

 

@Vis Good luck with the move, at least it's going to be closer to JHB and good fish shops. Moving is not something I would wish on my worst enemy, it's a horrible thing to have to go through, even if you are organised...:blink:

 

Yeah moving with livestock is a bummer. Talking out of experience here... Lost 30% of my fish due to the drum bottom tearing out (factory fault that I didn't pick up). Was absolute torture otherwise and I moved a mere 20km.

Did my damage trimming after the initial fert dosage... Tank looks empty now but will soon be back to it's former glory (I hope)
