ok guys and gals so ive been informed that the ladies do a better reeftank then the guys......well im curious is that true...


well theres one way to find out and here we go!!


ladies post your tank fts and if you like add a small bio about your tanks info in the ladies thread, guys do the same in the guys thread, after one month from today ill start a poll to see who canreef members think make a nicer reeftanks....the ladies with their attention to detail or the men with their stubborn toys!!!

pls do not post pics here, use this thread to talk smack if you like:)

there is no prize besides bragging rights but if one of the sponsors wanted to contribute a prize that would be cool:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

This is an interesting idea. BUT, as it is a no brainer that guys tanks are better, I won't even bother breaking out the camera. The woman will do themselves in just by posting their pictures. :)

I think I am going to suffer for the next 30 lifetimes for this comment. ;)

See, this is the difference between guys and girls.. You guys are always comparing "stuff" and trying to out do each other.

We girls stick together and complement each other, and don't feel the need to compete. We know we have good stuff and I for one see no reason to have to prove myself..

Exactly its overall who makes nicer tanks:) and there's still lots of time the ladies are smart and using the full month to get killer pics...we guys are a bit more "here it is" approach lol remember guys chicks are sneaky lol:)

If you do setup some kind of voting for this "contest" just remember guys out number girls by a significant amount and regardless of whether girls have better tanks or not they can easily be out voted by us guys. So make sure you do something to make it a fair fight.

Oh and if I post my tank pics it will be under the girls thread, sorry guys but my tanks would never be anything special without my wife's constant approval, ability of picking "pretty things" and her special skill of continuously nitpicking and pointing out all the flaws I have to fix.

reefwars

True so maybe a few unbiased judges would be a better approach??

Lets not count our clown eggs before they hatch the ladies are cooking up something good;)

An idea perhaps..
Nominate team leader for each team, team leader pics 10 photos from their team, 10 photos from each team posted anonymously on something like facebook or another forum. Whatever team gets the most votes/likes (combined) wins.
