Totm suggestion?

[Adrian]

How about a contest of totm of 50 gallons or more, and then another for 50 gallons and less?

Hard for someone that has a 10 gallon competing against say, a 120 for instance.

Just a thought.

I understand what you mean but I think you could make a 10g look just as good as a 125g. Just usually people dont put as much time or money into the smaller tank.

[cocoa_pleco]

we had a thread on this in early 2007, theres plenty of 10g's that outcompete a 120g in awesomeness

How about a Saltwater TOTM and a freshwater TOTM then? It can be hard to judge a beautiful planted 150 gallon freshwater against a beautiful 150 gallon saltwater one.

I've won second place with a 10G so it is possible... there are loads of smaller tanks nicer than larger... it is not the size it's the content <that kind of sounds dirty>

It is hard to beat a beautiful saltwater though... they are always the most beautiful :1luvu: :1luvu:

Many 10 gallons are amazing.
Just people that start 100 gallons+ usually have more experience and they're tanks look better, regardless of what size they decide to make them.

I haven't seen many SW tanks entered in TOTM. I think there won't be enough entries in the SW section if we decide to divide them like that.
Just my opinion.

[cocoa_pleco]

yeah, SW would be bare, not too many people here have reefs

[crackatinny]

Yes this has been suggested before, and as Cocoa said, competition between small and large tanks is not an issue, a few times 10g tanks have outdone 100+ tanks.

Besides, there is a lot of work in the comps, and at this stage adding extra is out of the question.

i have a 10g, and i think it's fabulous. one of these days i planning on getting that shiny totm award

[cocoa_pleco]

there we go, karbomb is a example, that 10g is better than some 500g's ive seen

[RichBowyer]

I agree with most above. I am in the process of setting up a 29 and it will have a better chance of winning TOTM then my 150G ever will.
