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

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.

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
