Just a quick question. Is there a reason both my potm and totm were left out?

[BV77]

only 10 people voted so far.....let's go folks, take a minute to vote. Lots of nice tanks to choose from.

[iheartfish:)]

They're all beautiful! Great tanks, guys.

[yannis2307]

can we vote our own tanks? i suppose not...meh...

[BV77]

Would obama vote for himself? Unethical, but I bet he would. So, yeah, you can vote for yourself, but only if you truely believe your tank is the best one.

I would say you shouldn't vote for yourself. It's not great sportsmanship if someone else has a nice tank. Also, you're going to be biased. That's why I don't vote on competitions that I'm in.

Awhile ago we started an critique by people of what they thought of the tanks. I liked that trend and am going to continue it.

Tank 1:
This tank is off to a great start. It looks like you are in the slow transformation of going with the natural look. If that is the case I would remove the castle and replace it with driftwood and a rock. The background draws the eyes away whats actually inside your aquarium. I would go with no background or a flat color like black or white.

Tank 2:
For a tank with fake plants you did very well. Any reason the water level is low?

Tank 3:
Very cloudy water...I like the tower thing on the right and the anchor looks cool to. Do a water change.

Tank 4:
I always love crystal clear water and a clean tank. Your plants look healthy but you need more. Also, when taking a picture try to hide the cords and mag float. This tank is going to grow in very nicely.

Tank 5:
Great looking plants. I like the dw placement and broken pots. Penny wort is a classic, I love this plant.

Tank 6:
this tank need some love bud. Get a decoration that goes vertical to give it a sense of depth.

Tank 7:
Wow, great looking tank bud. Great piece of driftwood. Your parva in the front looks very healthy too. There are alot of plants in there that are going to get huge. Trimming is going to be fun.

Tank 8:
very peaceful and well done tank. Hmm if you could hide the equipment by using a canister filter..it would be spot on.

Tank 9:
great look but that tank is WAY off level! you should fix that.

Tank 10:
Wow! great planted tank! That telanthera grows tall it will be a nice focal point. looks like i need to start entering again!

[Betta man]

Yes, the tank is way of level, and it's hard to fix. I don't think the fish care...

[Mr. fish]

I'ma planted tank person so You should know who i voted for.. lol

Nice tanks people! Can't wait to show off my bad boy next month

[Mystery snail]

I've got a planted tank that might give u some stiff competition Mr. Fish : ) I have not photographed it yet, this just reminds me I need a new memory card for my digital camera to take it.... so thank you... I do believe we voted for the same one this month.
Once you go planted, there's no turning back.......
Unless you set up a SERIOUS African Cichlid tank, with AWESOME AND SOLID stone work, with places to swim through or hide..... Just my 2 cents.

[funlad3]

Or a reef...

[Mystery snail]

amen to that... To each his own.
Can't leave out the catfish nuts and their fancy Plecos and cool cory's. or the big S.A. Cichlids.

oh snap! Secret planted tank weapon! Looks like next month is going to be a show down. Get out your scissors, dial in that dosing, and crank up the CO2!
