Yes, everyone who voted for Dutch has to do a nano tank, 5 gallons or smaller with a minimum of 15 species. Each species must be clearly visible and distinct in the photograph.

Everyone who voted for something else can use whatever size tank they like and have no limitations. :lol:

LOL Yes, Franny, we will put together the rules for the contest at a later date, but they won't be what Aaron has suggested. :D Give us a little time to finalize the rules; we had discussed several possibilities, but some of the options were dependent on which style got chosen.

Are there any rules yet?

I might try this, but then again, I might not :-)

Any info on the Dutch 'scape activity? When will we need to have our entries completed for judging?

I'm trying to figure out what plants to use and some may not grow big enough if I don't have enough time.

Thanks

I believe that the contest will end either the end of November or the first week of December. Definitely before the holiday party!

No date yet for the party. I think we were going to do a member vote for the best date. I think we were trying to avoid having the same date as the PVAS holiday party.
