I dunno, maybe the mods don't like aquascaping??? But that would just be plain wierd and crazy. Who doesn't like aquascaped aquariums?
I need a new camera too. So I would be quite happy to wait a couple of months before the comp began.
Plus, my tank is pretty fresh and would look a lot better in a couple of months too.
What trepidation would there be? Nothing ventured nothing gained I say.
If the mods don't want to do it then I could host it myself. I will create a thread similar to this one directing people to a website setup behind my website. The thread here could be used to post news on the comp. The site I make would be just like a bulletin board and people could enter their tanks with a voting poll and other people could post comments. After a certain amount of time the votes would be tallied and winners announced. I don't know about prizes, but I would make a special website to honour the victors.
But really I think it would be easier to do it here as everything is already setup. I could still create a nice website for the winners if the mods wanted me to. I can help out where ever needed.
