*Unofficial* Mini Complete Tank Contest

Can someone tell me how to add a link to my signature?

 

[redvsblue23]

Got some used prime HD’s off eBay and a larger return pump for the mini tanks. Going to crank the power way down on the lights but I think they’ll be worth it.

If you go to your profile there should be a sidebar that gives you the option to edit your signature. Just paste the URL in there. I haven't tried to do it in awhile (years) though, so I could be wrong.

Got mine all cleaned up and in place on my office desk.

Official start isnt until october 1st. Maybe Maddlesrain will allow an exception.

 

[phenom3030]

Oh darn, I thought I saw folks setting theirs up already. I got overly excited.

 

[Maddlesrain]

Yeah, no setting them up until the 1st! You can run test water through it, but everyone needs to hold off for just another 10 days!

 

[phenom3030]

Can I count it as a test water run then?

 

[Maddlesrain]

Can I count it as a test water run then?

Yeah! Absolutely! It's totally fine to run water through it and fine tune some things. Just no cycling process or critters until the 1st

 

[Maddlesrain]

Hey mini reefers!!!
I hope everyone is as stoked as I am that we're almost to start day on the mini complete contest!! If you haven't already, feel free to make a build thread and share it with the rest of us here (not required for the contest). I plan to get my act together and have my build thread going tomorrow.

I need to make a couple DIY items for the overflow and returns on my tank, so hopefully I'll have something to show for myself by the afternoon.

How many of you have also changed your scape plans a million times? So many ideas, so little room lol

 

[phenom3030]

Yeah! Absolutely! It's totally fine to run water through it and fine tune some things. Just no cycling process or critters until the 1st

Ok will do! I’ll empty the water and play with my scape until the first! Thank you so much!

@Maddlesrain Not sure if anyone has said this yet but THANK YOU for putting this out there and monitoring it and keeping us all updated, etc. I am excited to start!!

 

[Adamantium]

I don’t think mine’s gonna make it in time. Ordered from AquariumLowCost.com on the 9th.

Is it possible to enter late?

 

[Ben's Pico Reefing]

Just to let tall know, if your top happens to have received a top the has bent/curve in it. It will crack along sides. While still useable, ill be more than likely doing warranty on lid. Ill post pictures later today. Just something for tall to look out for.

I think there was an exception for the first month to allow for shipping delays, I belive @Maddlesrain mentioned that a few pages back. I can try to find the post in a bit, or someone might find it before I find my coffee......

D'aww thanks! ;Cat I'm so happy you have all joined me, and already so inspired by what I've seen from everyone so far!! You all are awesome!

Yes, if you order before Oct. 1 (which you have), you have a late pass. You also have until the 31st to get your tank going for the soft start

Yup! I think it's page 3 that has the updated rules.

I am disappointed I did not see this thread earlier, I might have been able to get one in time to join in, although knowing I have two separate one week vacations coming up over the next 12 months the Mini would probably not make the year mark without a complete crash anyways. I will be watching to see how everyone progresses.

 

[redvsblue23]

Already set mine up so I guess I’m out.

 

[TheDragonsReef]

Just empty it out and put everything in another tank, take a picture of it empty then fill it back up oct 1st
