Default June 2012 Freshwater Tank of the Month Compettition

I want to start this back up again as some have actually showed interest. The site had some issues there for a while with picture storage and now believe it is all resolved. So...get your cameras ready and submit your tank.

Submission deadline is Tuesday, 26JUNE. At the end of the submission period a poll will be added to this thread for the voting phase. Voting will end 03JULY.

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. 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 post 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.). It is 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.
- Only one nomination per user.
- You do not have to nominate your own tank.
- 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's 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, remember 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's tank.

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

Again, nominations will close 26JUNE.


Good luck to all who submit!

No. A tank must first be submitted/entered, ie nominated first in order to have something to vote on. Voting is the latter part, submission comes first.

I'll gladly post my work-in-progress tank soon, but it is just that - a work in progress. I'll get pictures of it on the 25th or 26th. Hopefully people can see the potential in it, and not just the current contents (small, young plants). I am striving to create the best environment possible for my pygmy corydoras and friends, and I refuse to get them until their new home is ready. After all, you wouldn't move into a half-built house, would you?

Well, here goes guys! My first tank of the month entry. This is my blue pearl shrimp and otocinclus 10 gallon tank. It is a low tech set up. 15 w fluorescent hood, Flourite substrate. The wood is Malaysian driftwood. The plants list includes three kinds of ludwigia (ludwigia palustris is one...I don't know the others), alternanthera reineckii (the very red plant in the back) many red crypt wendtii, wisteria, rotala rotundifolia, micro sword, chain sword, Singapore moss (on the rock-just starting out), and dwarf sag. This tank was set up on 5/4/12, so it is fairly new and still has a bit of growing in to do, but I'm so happy with how it is turning out that I couldn't resist entering it! I got the rest of the photos to upload. I hope this is not too many! Thanks so much for checking out my tank!
