NASH members

OK so here is the big secret we have been sitting on. If you have been we have been trying to get people to come back to the club due to an "anouncemnet" that will not be able to be taken advantage of unless you are a current member, so here it is.

A lot of you have heard me express interest in doing a in club aquascaping contest, but the logistics of this is difficult when you consider a 100 gallon tank can not be fairly judged next to a 10 gallon tank, and with such a small entery group it is not feesible to have multiple catagories like other contest do. What I am proposing is a club subsidized tank that will be used exclusively for the compititions.

Right now our vendor is willing to sell us one of two setups at a discounted rate. The setups are as follows

1. 5 gallon tank with a standard flourecent light for $35
2. 5 gallon tank with a Azoo LED light for $40

Either way we go the club will subsidize $20 for each tank, that will mean that to each member the tank will only cost $15-$20 for each setup (one tank/light per member), If you want more than the club sponcered one I can make arrangement for you to order more at the full price that the club is paying for. I think in the long run option number two is the better option.

What I need from you is this, by popular vote which system do we want to get?

Please note that this tank will be a requirement for the NASH contests (yes we will do more than one) so buying and selling the tank at a higher price is at your own risk (aka don't do it)

And as I said this is open to only current NASH members, if you want to take advantage of the deal then get with me to pay our dues.

I need an answer by Friday

BTW I vote option two, if you look at these led light they are much better and more expensive. We are getting a great deal on these.

I vote for an ADA mini S or mini M!

Please vote onthe tanks offered as this is what we can get at such a low price

we have a source here in Houston that does custom tank. I can contact him and find out about a group buy and see how much that will cost depending on the number to see if it is feasible. I'm just a knuckle head for trimless tank. Let me know. Friday is a short notice for most people.

You have a pic of the 5 gal with Azoo LED. Is the Azoo LED able to provide enough light for plants?

You guys are nuts, haha

Thanh, get with the program, will ya If the gents said they can get good deals, then let'em have at it. Also, remember this will involve the entire current club members, many of whom might not be as versed in aquatic layout regime as others. So let's try not to make things too complicated for the club as a whole. We need to make sure all of us will have equal footing as far as everything goes. In terms of knowledge and experience, obvious these cannot be transferred telepathically:P But they CAN be shared.........verbally! And that's where we have meetings and gathering to dispel any myths that aquatic planted tanks are a PITA to keep!

So I say let's dip our green thumbs and dive in!!!!!(and no I am not high in case some are wondering.....at least at this moment I am not:P)


Option 2 with led light sounds good to me. But yes, a picture or a link to its pictures would be nice.

TNguyen

get with the program? What are you talking about. Yes you are really high! Never mention anything about layout and such. just another feedback.

Option 2.

So, we get to keep the tank, scape it, enter it into the contest, and then it's ours? (Not trying to be greedy, just curious and excited about the prospect of having a 2nd tank...FINALLY! )
