Pretty close all in all :)

congrats Greg! Well deserved win. POTM and Nano wins, you are on FIRE! :biggrin:

I will contact winners tomorrow about prizes, congrats guys that was alot closer than it looked . I'm not posting the judges names but if they want to reveal their identity and explain their thoughts it's up to them., so is every keeping their nanos?

Congrats Grizz

To my surprise my nano tank has become a favourite of mine, I will definitely be keeping it. I only wish it was glass instead of acrylic, would of made cleaning it way easier!

Congratulations Grizz, I really like your tank.

I really wish i could have got mine finished, im tired of just daydreaming of it haha, Congrats Gregg your tank looks awesome!!

Can you link the winning threads here so we, as in I, don't have to search them out?

Lazy Monday. Too lazy.

Thanks my fellow contestants!!!

The wife has convinced me that I should keep my nano as a frag tank once I get the new tanks together & running.

Nice..great nano and hats off to you Greg

Thanks dreef.

Congrats to all three who made the end of the contest!

Congratulations to all the winners!

Thanks Big G, I will have to come see what you got in stock :biggrin:

Congrats everyone!! Definitely inspiring tanks! Hope you keep them going:lol:

Mines going strong, I just upgraded the light for it :biggrin:

That's awesome! I love the small tanks, can keep things that don't work so well in the bigger ones!

Mines finally back on track too, i got some picutres to post now too haha

now the question is where to put them... my original build thread is very far behind but my nano contest isnt properly named anymore haha:question:

is there going to be another one? I have a nano right now and would like to start another one. :)

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE

Funny you should say that as I was having that same thought about mine.

yes but will be alot of changes lol


the next one will be for a larger volume of tank.
i need more than me to help run the contest.
the rules will be different
timeline will be alot shorter

im sure there will be more ill start a thread here soon about it and maybe a few of us can make a contest comittee and brainstorm for a better contest:)


im up for suggestions on the next contest or for any volunteers who would like to help run it as i dont have enough time but could def help.


cheers
