I think some people had problems with a vendor running the contest??

Now it'll prob just die off and then people will complain when their is no contest

rstar 12-05-2008 08:19 PM

geesh, i dont get why people get so uptight about a vendor running the contest, its just mean great prizes to be had... that a real bummer that a few complaints can ruin something good...

Jason McK 12-05-2008 08:56 PM

Steve did a great job with running the POTM but at this time we thought it best to have the contest run by Canreef staff rather than a vendor

Thank you for your understanding

The only coral to survive my two consecutive horrific tank crashes. Ugly, but build like a tank, so functional!
