Nano of The Month - Nov. Entries Needed

Illuminati · 10/13/2006, 11:32 AM

There seems to be intrest in a Nano Of The Month contest so lets give it a try.

Post a Full Tank Shot that shows off your nano in this thread between now and Nov. 1.

On Nov. 1 I will pick 5 nano's and I'll have Frankie E (Since it was his idea) pick 5 nano's from this thread to make it to the "finals" and another thread will be made for the owners of the 10 tanks to post pictures and give us some info about their tanks.
A poll will go along with this thread and we can vote for the best nano tank.

Voting will be open for two weeks and after we have a "winner" they will start a new thread like this asking for people to post a picture of their tank and the winner picks the new top 10 (That way it's fair and there is community involvement).
Voting will again be open for 2 weeks and that winner just keeps the cycle going....

You can enter every month if you would like but once you win your 15 minutes of fame is up and you cannot enter this again, unless you drastically change or get a new tank.

Post your pictures

Clarkii3 has a nice reef, with the coraline growing. Keep it up guys good job.

Frankie E · 10/13/2006, 02:06 PM

::sniffle:: Wish my nano looked that nice, Nothing lives in it, It's been running since May. More or less a very expensive hopsital/QT tank. Too busy with 55 gallon and electricuting myself. ::sniffle::

july865 · 10/14/2006, 11:19 AM

who is choosing?? the readers or is it a commity/person? i say, lets do a reader poll

CoralFiend · 10/14/2006, 11:21 AM

Hopefully there will be more entries. I like seeing other people's nanos. I have to admitt, I think I like Rockindacheeks' tank myself.

Deepsea2005 · 10/14/2006, 11:58 AM

It will be a readers poll but we are going to narrow down all the tanks in this thread into the top 10. Here's the jist of the rules, I hope it's as fair as possible.

"On Nov. 1 I will pick 5 nano's and I'll have Frankie E (Since it was his idea) pick 5 nano's from this thread to make it to the "finals" and another thread will be made for the owners of the 10 tanks to post pictures and give us some info about their tanks.

Voting will again be open for 2 weeks and that winner just keeps the cycle going.... "

Keep posting everyone, the nano's look amazing.

I'd like to get around 30 entries before Nov. 1. Come on, make it tough for me to pick 5

Travis Savant · 10/14/2006, 05:47 PM

Hm...I doubt my tank can beat Gary's Pirate's Reef, but sure, why not, here's my entry...

**** I lost...

squiddly · 10/14/2006, 09:54 PM

I just have to say that I think this is a great idea. It's wonderful to see everyone's set ups and get a good idea of what goes best where, which corals look good, where to put the rocks, etc. etc. It's certainly helping me as a newbie.
