February Freshwater Tank of the Month Competition

jrman83 · 02-09-2012, 04:52 AM

Now is the time to submit for the month of February. Submissions period will run until 21 Feb at the end of the day. From there, the voting period will take place for 1 week after. A poll will be added to this thread for the voting phase.

You must upload photos of the tank to our Gallery. If you're hosting the photos on another site, please re-upload them to this one; that way people can always see your tank as long as the forum is up and running! You can submit as many photos as you like, but for the sake of space try to keep it under 10. If you update your photo during the submission period just update your original post, do not make more than one place for people to look at your tank.

Post in this thread! Post your photos and details about the aquarium; the more information the better (size in gallons/liters, livestock/plants that live in it, etc.). Now's your time to tell the voters why you deserve to win Tank of the Month!

A few rules:
- You may enter the contest even if you were in a previous contest, provided you did not win in the past four months.
- Photos of your aquarium MUST be hosted on the Aquariumforum.com servers, NO EXCEPTIONS. It doesn't matter if they're on a premium Photobucket/Imageshack account or not, they need to be hosted on our server. Photos not hosted on our server will not be considered eligible; this is to ensure that future users will always be able to see the photos. You may not have that account up and running in the future.
- Only one nomination per user.
- In the case of duplicate nominations (two or more users nominate the same tank), it will count as one nomination.
- No intimidation or belittling of someone else' tank, especially if you're a competitor. No cheating.

Decisions are FINAL. If you feel that your tank should have been picked over another, then blame your peers because they're the ones who are voting for it. Unless there's a case of cheating or other extraneous circumstances, decisions will not be overturned. Also, keep in mind that you don't have to nominate your own aquarium; maybe you were really impressed with another user's aquarium? You can nominate them instead! The same rules and guidelines apply to nominating someone else' tank.

Winners get the coveted TotM winner seal added to their profile. Very few people have these.

Again, nominations will close 21FEB.

Good luck to all who submit!

1 Angelfish
3 Roseline Sharks
1 Turquoise Rainbow
1 Marci Rainbow
3 Madagascar Rainbowfish
2 German Blue Rams
5 Bleeding Heart Tetras
3 Otos
1 Panda Cory (getting a couple more really soon)

All plants are live, and there's one big piece of real driftwood in the middle.
I do have a fake piece of wood in there because I thought it was perfect to run my bubbler under. Other than that, everything is real....
Also, I use PFS as substrate (Pool Filter Sand)

I run an Aquaclear 110 for now. Looking to upgrade to either another AC110, or a canister when my fish "grow up" a little. Right now pretty much every fish is a youngin' except the Angel, so I think my solo 110 is good for now.
This is my first time entering this tank in the competition b/c it's the first time I feel its worthy. Hope you like it!

And one with the daughter :-)

ZachZaf · 02-09-2012, 08:22 AM

Aww your daughters cute! and you got me beat tank wise but that wont stop me from trying!

this is my place holder until i get my new camera on friday!

PICS (AND actual good ones) TO COME!!

Alright now my entry!! (*be gentle its still being established...)

This would be the 'front view' looking at it from the kitchen

And this the 'back view' From the living room.

Tanks is about halfway cycled.. with only a betta and a farlawalla catfish in it...

the lighting system is set up for 12 hours a day of light... one light is 6-6 the other 8-8 starting from left to right in the kitchen view, it makes it seem as though the sun is moving across, as it rises from the left for two hours before the other light comes on for 'full day light' and then goes out two hours before the other to imitate the sun 'setting' on the right side. ;)

55 gallon, planted with wisteria, amazon sword, a couple bunches of anarchis, a banana root bunch and an unidentified sword type. Water is still a little cloudy from the tanins leaching from the roots. so this might be a better entry for march once the water is nice and clear...

giddetm · 02-09-2012, 08:54 PM
