Q2 '25 Budget Builds

[ReyDeFarts]

Sorry BAR. I've been busy with life and other BAR duties. I haven't been paying attention to the Q2 entries. How is everyone doing with their posts?

Are folks enjoying this exhibition? Seems like it lost some steam... or is it me that is losing steam? Hmmm...

Who is actually still present and doing it at this point? Are we down to only a few contestants?

I will utilize this post as a placeholder as I go back through and figure out who's in and who's out.

Q2 Contestants:
@tribbitt
@PizzaOven
@Turkeysammich

Community vote:
@NanoCrazed missed the May update by 1 day. DQ or allow?

Mine is still going as of now. Though I've considered taking it down a few times if I'm honest. Recently added more clean up crew to see if that helps. Maybe will toss in some random corals from the swap to see if stuff from multiple tanks helps things reach that turning point of where tanks start looking better.

I'm still doing it and having fun.

My tank’s still going well. Got a big patch of fluffy algae on the back wall, but that patch is keeping the whole rest of the tank relatively algae free lol

I’ve been enjoying the second tank

Forgot to do a May update oops

I vote to let NanoCrazed in because I missed by 1 day too, sooo…

To be honest, I’m not sure every tank needs a monthly update. If people aren't updating their journals then they aren’t going to get votes, but at the same time we can easily have a month go by without anything new or exciting happening to our tanks.

April 30th and then nothing until June 13th. Sooo...

I mean... the rules have been posted for a while. This should have been brought up and agreed on long ago. The point of the monthly update was an attempt to keep the threads active. And not even that has helped with keeping things active. I organized this exhibition based on someone else's idea. So I tried to put together something simple but to also challenge folks with encouraging at the very least a monthly update.

If monthly updates are too much and the majority of those of you that are left in the exhibition want it changed, then please all vote on that here. I have no issues changing the expectations to what the members want.
