About the Tanks of the Month

[Nomadic]

I have a question in relation to the tanks of the month. I `m close to restarting my hobby back up after a LONG absence. I like to look at the tanks of the month because not only are they truely breathtaking but, i also look for fresh ideas to apply to my new setup and it helps alot. One thing i did notice is that most of the "tanks of the month" are sps tanks. Also, most of them are so huge and high tech, as to be well beyond the avg. hobbyists means both from a practical and financial standpoint.
I guess what i`m trying to say is, why is it that only the huge and elaborate sps tanks get nominated? Some of those setups look like 10s of thousands of $ were put into them. How can the avg. hobbyist relate to that? Also, why aren`t LPS and Soft coral tanks nominated?? Are they just concidered bottom shelf to SPS?
I`m sure there are stunning LPS and soft coral tanks out there that are less than 300 gals that can and should be nominated too?? right?? Why are they being overlooked?
