Now is the time to submit for the month of January. Submissions period will run for the next 2 weeks and end 21 January 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.

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 21JAN.


Good luck to all who submit!

Thanks for setting up the comp' again Ben, and good luck to everyone who enters! :D

I signed up for this forum to enter this contest. I will as soon as I get it all figured out. It looks like I need to wait to upload pictures though. The gallery is down for maintenance.

Me with my 45 gal planted




A school of tiger barbs

The tank by itself. The obvious highlight of the tank is the Cryptocoryne usteriana. That is the large red and green plant in the middle.


The base of the Cryptocoryne usteriana


Anubias


one of two cryps. I'm not sure what species


I took this up angle pic so you could see the bottom of the Cryptocoryne usteriana leaves at the top of the tank.


bala shark


leaf fish


Petricola. The colors in this pic are off. It's the flash I guess. The plant is red, the fish is black and white. Still a cool pic.


His name is Hoover--as in the vacuum cleaner

You can see the tank is heavily populated with simiaggressive fish. The fish have all been around for at least a year, most for two years or more. The same can be said for the plants. The tank requires almost no maintenance. There is a rainbow shark in there but he's behind a log right now. He's camera shy I guess.
