• Contestants may submit up to 5 photos (700X500 or smaller is suggested) of their tank. Contestants may submit a small video, 60 seconds or less, of their tank in lieu of one photo. Entries with more than 5 photos will be disqualified. Don't submit the images as attachments. Instead link them from your TR Photo Gallery to your post. Or, use an image hosting site like www.photobucket.com or www.imageshack.com and copy and paste them into your post.

• Contestants should give a detailed description on how long they have had their tank, where it is now, DIY jobs and problems they had in that time. They may also include an equipment and stocking list.
• Entries must be submitted inside of the contest entry forum. Entries will be made in the form of a post. All posts/submissions are final, and cannot be edited or deleted once they have been submitted. (Some contests may allow follow up posts to add additional info.)

• Those entries will then be submitted into a thread for everyone to vote.
• The voted poll will be opened on the 18th of each month.
• Voted polls will be closed on the last day of each month.
• TR owners/moderators reserve the right to overrule all voting in the event that the results are in question.
