Title: Planted tank photo contest?
Post by: Vizerdrix on March 25, 2008, 05:07:02 PM
Succintfish mentioned at yesterday's meeting something about a planted tank photo contest being run by Reefs Canada or something.  Anyone have additional info on this?  I know I won't win, I can't compete with Charlie, FischKopp, and all you other planted tank fanatics ;) but I wouldn't mind giving it a try. :)

Need not worry about me  ;), i prefer the laid back joy of the hobby than the competitive or business side of it  ;)

we only need to get Redbelly to look this way. He's the sponsor behind the contest.

I don't know. Groan and myself are pretty good with Red Hair Algae in our salt water tanks.

Hey Guys,
When Reef Canada gets its own forum section it will be running a planted tank photo contest. The person with the nicest picture of their planted tank will win a free hydor koralia.

In a planted tank the water movement around the plants stems and leaves are very important yet you want to try and keep the surface still. For these reasons and more hydor koralia are great power heads. I will be writing a full write up to this effect when we post the contest and i very much look forward to our local plant guru's putting in their 2 cents :)
