I also found that a little strange, why would ten people choose to vote in the one pole but not the other. I don't want to say it but something smells fishy :razz:

I'm confused? Like you thought the "Most Innovative" category is specific to the tank itself? If so I'd say sphelps tried something new for starting from a standard 10 gallon, but like I said.. I'm confused?

ahah I never thought of that but now that you mention it... seems a little odd ahah. But like I said... maybe it's just that less people are interested in this category or they don't think anyone was innovative so they just decided not to vote.

Yeah you're probably right, I probably shouldn't have said anything

Well considering the budget was for the tank itself, then the most innovative tank would be the tank. Spending an extra grand on a neat stand and water system is kind of out of the realm of the competition IMO.

I'm not starting anything here, I'm just sayin..your system is totally innovative, its that I thought this was supposed to be a nano tank contest, so I was looking at the tanks themselves.


It wasn't that I didn't think anyone was innovative, I just couldn't decide so I didn't vote.

Dang with that reasoning you totally should have voted for me :mrgreen:

LOL:mrgreen:

Fair enough but personally I think you should still be able to make a call between the tanks. Even if you want to ignore the stands I think I could make a decision between internal over flow, external overflow, tank mod, and rock work. I wouldn't exactly call any of these things cutting edge but I think they are all the implementation of ideas that are some what new or at least slightly new approaches on /variations of an existing idea and that should be able to render a best from selection vote, also not trying to start anything.... just confused but we all think differently :)

And at the end of the day I just wanted something to hide all my nano tank's junk in because part of the budget or not I didn't want to make my house look like a mess for the contest, which tanks have a tendency to do ahah

yep I totally hear what you're saying. I went through the threads again with exactly that in mind. And voted :wink:

and you enjoyed it. Who doesn't like checking the lil circle and clicking the vote button :)
