    What happened???

    Is everyone too busy to enter the contest? Too shy to be the first? I've seen some awesome photos from many of you guys and girls. What's up?

    I respectfully make a motion we grant an extension of the deadline to Saturday the 29th. Is there a second? Yes, I second the motion, too. And, since I'm the Grandfather of TR, I expect a little respect and know the powers to be around here will grant my request. (HA, yeah, right )

    So, that being said and done here's my first entry to get things going...



    My Sohal Tang, Acanthurus sohal, purchased in June of '06 at 3 1/2" now 6"+. This is a great fish for those willing to fill there needs. Tangs need swimming room. They are powerful swimmers capable of bursts of speed that are blurring to the eye and camera. An aquarium of 6' in length is a minimum, abundant rock work for hiding when alarmed and a varied diet. The diet should include marine based veggies in the form of red and green Gracelaria, dried Nori (even though a bit processed it is still marine based, easy to find, feed and beneficial), Mysis shrimp, and other foods available at your LFS. The important thing, with all fish, is variety.

    Now, if the powers to be here, decide to cancel the contest due to lack on interest (I can't imagine a lack of interest), then I will withdraw my photo in order to preserve my right to enter it again in the future when interest builds.

    OH, how does everyone feel???

    contest

    Let the games begin!
    the first one is supposedly an ORA Acropora Tenuis with actinic lighting only.
    The second one is a ORA Acropora Tortuosa having some issues which have since been corrected. However, since it was healthy, but having too much flow & phosphates it has become truly unique, especially since it is now thriving.
