Groovy. :-) Was nice to hear the voices of the Staff.

Nice bonus podcast. Great contest ideas! Way to go Jake (RazerCorals), such an awesome sponsor!

Maybe all this algae I have will benifit me one day. LOL

LOL.....well, I can't say "I knew I should have taken pictures of the green forest in my tank"....who wants pics of those. :rolleyes:

I know what's going to happen with these photo contests though.....I'm going to get even more green with envy when I see all those beautiful tanks out there!!! :mrgreen:

As it is, I've got this thing in my head of a 10gal nano.....

:confused:

Without giving away too much, please keep in mind that this is going to be a very diverse contest as it evolves. You may not be as envious of some of the photos as you think.

In the end, this contest, much like the entire Talkingreef project is going to be what ALL OF YOU make of it.

Have fun with this one...and keep yourself tuned in for additional opportunities to become more involved with this great site and all its related resources!

I know. ;)

I think you guys (and gal) are doing a great job....especially Rob!

I'm looking forward to seeing what you all have in store for the site and the contests. Either way it will all be fun, and educational....just like the podcasts and forums.

Is there a Feb. contest? I can't seem to find it

We get to hear Gwen's voice? Be still my heart!!! ;)

Downloading now. Yep, I just got home.

Yeah! It was great to place some voices with the names and threads! Thanks guys!

Soooo....think those frags could be shipped to Sweden as well??? :-)

BTW, when's the deadline for the contest?

How does one enter the tank contest?

should be up in the contest forum either tonight or tmw night

BTW, when's the deadline for the contest?
contest deadline is the last day of the month, 11:59 EST.

regarding the international shipping, there are some complications there with both import/export laws, and the actually ability and cost to ship something live to international locations. we are still working the details out. i am trying to come up with something else in the even that the winner is from another country, as i am not confident we will be able to resolve this shipping issue.

contest forum is ready.
please use the existing Contest Forum (http://www.talkingreef.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=28) and submit entry as a thread.

please post any questions regarding the contest here, or if you are having any problems posting let me know

thanks

Rob, is the contests for people with memberships only?

Hey Rob, something's wrong with the announcement...it says I don't have permission to access the page???

Same thing here.

Admins check the permits on that page, I'll bet it's set up for admin access only right now.

Later: I just noticed that the TR Contests forum is listed as Private.

thank you i will investigate this.

ok, modified some permissions, please let me know if you can post anything

I can get in now. Thanks Rob. I'll post an entry later today.

Alright Rob! Works now....Thanks!

thank you for the feedback.

you should also not be able to see other peoples threads, only your own. so let em know if that is the case also (yes as of now there is at least one thread in there)

It is possible to edit the posts in there as well as add images from a url?

I added images and they are not showing up for some reason

You can't edit. I'm pretty sure that was one of the rules.

Oh yea....sorry :)

nope, no editing, but, if you feel you need to add any more information you can always "reply" to your post to add more information

Is it just for pics, or is part of the contest a description of the tank? I pretty much just posted pics.

yes, please post desciptive items, as we will likely judge the winner on more than simply having a "pretty tank"
