Title: POTM
Post by: Twizted1 on January 19, 2013, 13:10:42
I have been thinking for ideas for potm for this year. We could do fish, inverts, lighting, control systems, fuges, most unique, best diy, anemones, nps corals or macro algae. Just a few ideas I wanted to tho out there.

Sounds good, which do you want to do for January?
Title: Re: POTM
Post by: Twizted1 on January 19, 2013, 14:32:25
How about best DIY? No sure I have a good one, but should be interesting.

Post by: Twizted1 on January 23, 2013, 09:30:17
Or it can be anything. Anyone else have any ideas? We can bad things also. Worse gha. Things we can learn from. Anyone?

Right now I would be up for worst GHA.  I can't seem to get rid of mine.  I personally have been debating adding a sump.  I would love to see how everyone else has theirs set up. 

My vote is for either GHA or Sumps/DIY

Let do best symbiotic relationships in a reef tank.  Could be goby and shrimp, clown and nem, as long as there are 2 animals in the picture that benefit each other, it would count.

Thoughts?
Title: Re: POTM
Post by: lazylivin on September 08, 2013, 21:30:43
Sounds like a good idea to me.

What would you like to see as a potm? List any and all ideas. Tell us what your favorites would be. Can be odd or common, something we have never done or something we have done several times. Please feel free to voice your opinions. Thanks all.
Title: Re: POTM
Post by: Bucknutz on November 02, 2013, 17:41:57
Specific corals like acans, brains, zoas, birdsnest would be cool.

How about a pic of the oldest fish or invert you have in your tank and maybe a little story/background of its history?  Might be interesting to see what everyone has.

Not sure how this one would work? But maybe we can try it? I would win if I could get my wife to take a pic of me in the tank lol.

Post by: Tony on November 03, 2013, 16:27:31
We could do something like the most annoying feature of your tank.  Everyone has something they wish they could tweak a little.  Be it a noisy overflow, an overflow compartment where your mag-float doesn't reach, or that one place in your tank that snails seem to climb into in a vain attempt to get stuck so it would seem.  See how many people have the same annoyances you do.  =P
Title: Re: POTM
Post by: Twizted1 on December 04, 2013, 00:01:26
Any ideas for Decembers potm? I was think of most unique livestock? Can be anything in your tank that's still alive. Anything but coral. Or we could do a most unique series. Fish, inverts, coral, DIY ect..... Any ideas?

HOW ABOUT FULL TANK SHOTS DECORATED FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Title: Re: POTM
Post by: Bucknutz on December 04, 2013, 13:19:55
Turn POTM into POTY.

How about best of the year photo? Any photo (reef related) anyone has taken in 2012 even if it has won a photo contest. new or old and only photos taken by you yourself.
