almost forgot to vote! 

 

hate to be the nitpicky dude, but it would be great if there is a single page or post with pics and elevator pitch / shark tank pitch of each contestant tank.  I bet most people voted based on people they follow without going through each individual thread.  I know OP has a list of contestants with short summary and links to their thread but picture is worth a thousand pods.  And the elevator pitch (just a few sentence similar to the OP summary but written BY the contestant) will give contestant a chance to showcase their personality too.

That's what I thought the final FTS was for. So on the voting page there would be one picture being the final FTS and the short summary. The voters could do a quick skim through and vote or click through the contest journals and vote. It seems the poll gets the views but not the votes.

That would have been easier for members that didn't follow the 100 days. Maybe next time.

No, once someone wins a category, they are no longer eligible to win the other categories.

So PJ wins #1, Stella #2, IK #3?

Unless some late voting changes things, that's how it looks like it will go down.

Well I tried to wait until the last minute to vote, but then I realized the deadline is midnight Pacific time and I still had three hours.

I had a tough time with this, as I got busy right when the contest started, so I didn't keep up with all the contest threads. But I did catch up on the FTS thread and was able to read through the final write ups each contestant provided. 

I'm so impressed with what all the contestants achieved! Some of my takeaways:

- It's really hard to get a tank going well in 100 days

- It's really really hard to get a good looking tank going in 100 days, even for very experienced reefers

- If you want to get a good looking tank in 100 days, you better be ready to love macros, gorgs, and sponges 

 

Congratulations to all the contestants!

I'm withholding my own votes, as the host of the poll, unless there is a tie that needs to be broken. Polls close automatically at 11:59pm Pacific time, by my watch there's about two and a half hours left!  

 

Thanks to everyone who has voted so far! I will go over the results with our contest hosts @metrokat and @jedimasterben in the morning and we will announce the final results later in the day.

So. What'd I miss? 

 

Happy Monday. I am back from NOLA and MACNA. It was a very busy 4 days. Thank you to everyone for participating and voting. 

Results to be announced today!!! And I will open a new thread for voting in the additional bonus categories.

Congrats winners. The girls rocked the marco, gorgs, and sponges and it shows that not everything needs to be SPS and high end things to look good.
