It looks to me like you have a lot of equipment there. So my question is what exactly is the challenge?

Mainly just different styles of filtration within a reseanoable amount of money. One of us has a HOB, a canister filter, and one somehow mangaged a sump.

The sand and aquascape look great.

I like threads like this because my plan is to start a small tank between 29 and 40 gallons with minimal cost and effort

You are pretty efficient then. I would imagine that would take me at least a few days.

Ah - I was wondering if it was a "how many fish can we cram in a 35-gallon tank" type of challenge, lol.

did you pain the back black yourself ? Are you keeping your heater in the hob filter? Looking good so far. I am looking forward to seeing your progress.

Besides cost... what is the challenge? how will you declare the winner?

Is this a friendly challenge, or do you have to beware of things like, your boss spiking your RO with tap water?

The challenge is mainly to see what filter style works the best for a simple tank, and just to see who makes the best reef tank.
