Let the members of NR choose the winner of the three and under pico contest, since the sponsors chose to snub them.

Bumping because I know y'all want to vote... NOW!!!

[slickwill613]

Votes coming in, lets see some comments.

[briansbelle]

Island got my vote, love the mantis shrimp!

[Watertiger]

Pest are where it's at:)

[MeepNand]

That was actually tough, but Tiki's was the most vibrant. The other tanks need more macros.

[MGDMIRAGE]

Tiki easily.

[BigRok]

Tiki's tank is the complete deal, pest or not, that tank is something to be proud of! Also his video and documentation is so complete, it really shows the attention to detail.

 

Somebody owes him that 2 gallon pico prize!

Can you post latestFTS for the contestants in the first post here?

Tiki's pest tank is too cool not to win.

Kat, I tried for hours, to the point of my wife yelling at me to get off the computer, and for some reason I couldn't get every photo to show, most photos would just show the link in text. Drive me nuts.

 

Thanks everyone for voting. And for dealing with having to look by clicking the link. Lets see some more voting.

 

 

[MysticReef]

Voted -- bump!

[BigRok]

I think we now know who the winner is.

[Islandoftiki]

Thank you for the votes everyone! The tank is still up and running and doing well.

 

If you haven't seen, the pest tank was featured on Nano-News!

 

 

Cheers!

Looking at the voting poll, it looks like the winner is clear. Anyone object to just calling it?

[BigRok]

I certainly don't see an issue.

 

Congrats Tiki! That is an awesome tank.

[slickwill613]

Sounds unofficially official to me. Grats tiki.

[Islandoftiki]

I accept the Unofficial People's Choice award for the 3 gallon and under pico tank contest!

[Islandoftiki]

I would like to congratulate every person who stuck with the contest to the end. Good work everyone!

 

Considering the contest started with 50 people and dwindled down to 5, congratulations are in order for Kazooie, ReefersEdge, Bgj223 and Funkngroovy for hanging in there!

 

Cheers folks!

One last thing:

One last thing!

 

Since all of the sponsors of the contest have vanished and all of the prizes have evaporated into thin air.

 

For 2nd and 3rd place, Bgj223 and ReefersEdge will each be receiving $20.00 Marine Depot Gift Certificates courtesy of myself!

 

Cheers!

That is awesome of you to do.

 

 

 

 

Anyone else interested, we could all chip in small amounts to get tiki a first place prize, or just all give a dollar PayPal gift, pm me or reply to the thread if interested.

[BGJ223]

I came in a close second with 4 votes, not bad if you ask me.

 

Congrats to everyone that participated, and especially you Islandoftiki for putting together a nice tank.

 

Also a big thank you to you for the gift certificate.

[Ecospire]

I was hoping that a new pico contest would be opening up soon. Would enjoy participating this time around.
