Pleaes be patient, I have just sent the PM out to all the entrants, and they should be posting a short write up of their tank shortly :) You do have 14 days to ponder who you wish to vote for!

However, if patience has never been one of your virtues, you can visit this thread:

You can see photos there, but there are no write up, specs, history etc.

Well, heres my 29 gallon tank!

Its been up for a little over 2 years, and has been a reef for less than half of that. After a short time with softies I fell in love with SPS, and have sucessfully been keeping them since the early summer.

As of now i have onyl a few SPS, which include:
Porites
A few Different Digitatas
A small green slimer
A purple brush gorgonian(been there for almost a year, got it for free from a CTARS member)
A green birdsnest
A small green w/ purple rim cap frag

I get steady growth from everything, and they are starting to encrust over their plugs and move onto my rock

Filtration is a 3 gallon HOB fuge stuffed with cheato, rubble and a bag of carbon in there, soon it will be a new 12 gallon fuge, that will stand behind my tank, with the same HOB concept. I do not run a skimmer, and have 0 nitrates, though as my SPS grow i may do a DIY skimmer.

Lighting is 1x150W HQI, and 1x65 watt actinics, 4x3/4 watt blue moonlights

Flow is provided by a Tunze 6025 nano version, and the flow running off from my fuge.

Now for the pics:

Here's my 24 gallon nanocube

I set it up in April so I'm still kind of a newbie at this. I have a nice mix of Softies & LPS right now but plan on getting a 12 gallon for my LPS and turning this into a softie tank in the future.

Here's a full tank shot:

[binaryterror]

Here is my tank. It is a 24g Aquapod with a 150w Sunpod MH w/14k bulb. It has been setup since the end of July, and is going strong! I have no idea how much LR I have, but it is my only filtration besides a sponge place in the overflow. Thanks for looking!

Beautiful tank victoria, havent seen it for awhile.
what kind of lighting fixture do you have over that.

[Ocean In A Box]

No offense to anyone of the others who haven't posted that are a part of this, but I think you've got some incredibly stiff competition with Victoria's tank. Just awesome...

[GrandeGixxer]

Bump it to the top, Victoria, that is an amazing tank!

[ludeboy12]

[mr pink floyd]

i actually want to see the write up of her tank, it truely is amazing, and i think i speak for everyone here when i say no shame in losing to the best!

[kaserpick]

Here's my tank again; it's a 25 gal that was converted from a 30 (total water volume is 30). It's a little over a year old now; the reef has been accumulating since March '06. The current setup is skimmerless and works only on biological filtration. The only equipment I have is a heater, PC light, pump with plumbing for circulation. I like to keep things simple. Here it is.
