    Hahaha i really dont envy you at all. I just cannot wait to see the other tanks! Thanks again for organizing the comp its been fun and it got me to sort out my boys tank and i know everyone else had just as much fun with the tanks. A challange to the ones who had gotten used to co2 and so forth.

    It's going to be great for the winner though! To see what the tank can do with Co2 in it!! And Aquasoil!

    Well its a start and I think a lot of people learned something. Next time you see a simple good looking low tank Nano, remember how much effort they really are.

    My local fish store was loads of help and just there for advise. They are planning on printing my journal to show prospective clients what can be done in a small starter tank. Even if i dont place in this comp its done loads to boost my confidence and taught us loads so we can teach others how to do it and to get more people and lfs involved and up to date with with the black lists and so forth. They had almost as much fun as i did, i had to go show them pics weekly, and they even contributed towards the hardscape of the tank!

    thats great @Wyvren, i have to agree to the confidence boost and with Vis about the effort that goes into these small tanks.
    @Sean J i sent my entry in again to the Sean@theplantedtank address hope you got it. now this may be crazy but i'm highly tempted to trek my tank cross country to the coast with me so i can monitor and fiddle with it lol. what say you? my dad shall be horrified if i do lol. but at least i'll have one tank with me to watch while i'm at the coast.

    @Vis is actually only a stones throw away from PTA now so the move for the WODAC comp won't be that harsh. Since starting with planted tanks again I have 3 of my colleagues interested in taking up the hobby but they are still a bit hesitant due to the insane equipment prices in our region. Still nagging them though :adore:

    Ja ja ja :)

    Maybe when you see my entry you will understand a little better :)

    Did a little low tech nano for my LPS andyou won't believe how many people then also wanted one. Every little bit somewhere helps even this comp I believe.

    Ok enough with the jabbering where's the pics :p

    I will post pics of the winners. Everyone who entered, will put their journals online when they start new threads for them. Hopefully the judging will be done this week. I just need to confirm with my fellow Judges.
