Current status and last contest post is the tank is still doing extremely well. The shrimp are thriving and all is well. We have not seen any baby shrimp so I am thinking that we have all males? Our build was easy and simple and if we can do this all over again next year we will be much more creative. The glass gets a little dirty as it is sitting close to the back door where it gets light from the sun but not directly. With the sun light the mangroves still did not thrive and we ended with only two in the tank. The moss is still about the same size as it was when it arrived so we are guessing that the mangroves that did make it were the taking up all the nutrients. We had a great time with this contest and were very happy to do it with our R2R family. Good luck to everyone. We will continue to update progress from time to time and any changes that we make.

The sand separation stayed really well for you! That takes some skill

Ok guys! PLEASE READ!!

If you have completed the contest, please send a direct message to me, @JerSaint and @ReefNewsNetwork (one message, not separately) with the following:

5 photos of your journey and the final state of your shrimp tank

A couple/few Paragraphs about your experience, what you liked, what you didn’t, and anything else you want to add!

I’m not sure which way voting will go whether it’s a forum vote or the three of us make the decision but this will be the start! If you want to be considered for the final three grand prizes (and some other fun stuff), please send this by Sunday, November 11th by 11:59 Pm EST!

Do you have a list of the people who made it to the end?
