The first 2 people that post a remark after mine that have been here a year or more will be the judges including me.
The prize will be a frag from my tank. I will pay for shipping and everything. Post away. The pics. will be judged on:
1. "Wow" factor
2. content
3. uninhansed (sp) color
4. variety
It does need to be fish, tank, or coral related and from YOUR tank. I would like to see new photos (judged more favorably) but ones you have posted can be used. I decided to do it with a join date becuase some one with alot of experience could start a new user account and win. The first picture you submit will be your entry, no changing please.
Good luck and post away. PLEASE ONLY POST (1) ONE PICTURE and keep the size to 500x500 or less. This contest will run for 2 weeks.
Good luck.
Hey B,
I already posted once, but can we post from separate tanks?

It doesn't matter how old your tank is.
If you joined this site less than a year ago you qualify. It doesn't matter if you have had a saltwater tank for 50 years as long as you have been a member of this site less than a year.
No one can enter a pic if they joined after the contest started, though.

That's why I was wondering if we would communicate thru email. If we openly post our individual favorites on here, we may have people get mad at us and act like big babies.

You can post more than 1 pic. however your FIRST submission will be the one judged for THIS competition. That will help keep someone from posting 15 pics. and making this overly long and hard task. Hope you understand.

I received my new MH lights but one of the bulbs were broken so my replacement won't be in until wednesday. I just wanted to make sure I still had time to get my pics with the new MH lighting and not my current T-6 lights.
5 oct. is what I figured to be the last day. I will give a count down as we get closer. Barry
