Competition Registration and Rules

Hi All

It comes with great dissapiontment but I will need to opt out of the comp as my tank sprung an leak. @Sean J thank you for this oppertunety and good luck to all the other contestants.

 

oops dubble post

 

oh no @hein24 cant you use the pics from before the leak sprung?

 

Sorry to hear that @hein24! That sucks a lot. But as @windfire said, you could enter the last pictures you took, so all hope is not lost yet!!

 

just a week to go, cant wait to see the results....

 

So here's fair warning! Mine's morphed from an aquascape to an algaescape! I bet none of the others will be able to top THAT!!! :trytofly:

But I'm still gonna see it through! You ARE all allowed to roll around laughing when you see it!

 

dont worry @tracyp, i think we should all just use our imagination to see how awesome the tanks could be once they mature. Nanos are alot harder than they look

 

And low tech nanos are even more difficult! I put a heck of a lot of thought into this competition. It's pointless having an easy competition and giving away such a cool prize. There needed to be a good challenge involved, and a low tech nano is one of the more difficult things to get right. Which is why any great results, are actually amazing results. To get plants to flourish properly without the use of Co2, is a very difficult task in such small tanks. And any deviances in parameters are huge in such small tanks. You have to be on top of your game!!!

And it is all this, which has made this competition so successful!

I already have an entry in... I hope to see a lot more in the next week!!!

Happy trimming and snapping folks!!

 

Definately @Sean J, i really didnt know what i was getting into when i started but its cool since it makes things alot more interesting and keeps them that way. looking forward to the reveals guys. good luck for the last week!!

 

aaaah horror, calamity i have blue green algae starting in the tank and it seems like the more i dose with excel the more it spreads. i'm removing it manually from my plants and walls and the filter too its murphys i swear.

 

Hey @windfire!! Just keep at it!! It's almost over!!

 

Im hoping for a quiet day at the office tomorrow so that I can compile my tank entry. I want to enter it as soon as possible I can't handle the secrecy much longer

 

LOL! Can I ask if you guys would rather submit .PDF files? It just makes it easier. There is one format and one type of file, and nobody can get a PDF wrong!! Pretty please?

 

Hahaha no worries, I can do that - fortunately I use it a lot

 

Started putting mine together tonight to send. Really sad that I had to pack it up for the move now.

Was fun though and what survived the move is now in my office tank and starting to look better each day.

 

You should post pics of the office tank dude!

 

Ok so finally I got my fish health sorted out... Did a 100% water change today and removed the heater again. Boosting my O2 sat levels today and tomorrow furiously ferting again for the remaining week... Tank still looks vague but decent to say the least. Will see what the next week holds.

 

Hehe Im just thankful that the boss is going out shortly so that I can work on my entry. Halfway typed up already. But @Sean J will only email it later from home - might be a biggish file

 

No problem! I got wireless at work, so not a problem.

 

Hahahaha ok kewl

for those who don't know how to convert a file to pdf go here http://www.cutepdf.com/products/cutepdf/writer.asp

Download that app - we use it every day here in the office to convert autocad drawings to pdf. It is a free product that is really easy to use. Just install it, then once your document is ready to save, save it as normal, then go to file, print. There you choose the cutepdf wirter as the printer, and set up the document as you want to print it. It will then convert the files to pdf.

Oh and the great reason to pdf a document is this - mine was 100mb in the original format and now is 20mb. ;D
