Ugly Tank Contest!

[johnmaloney]

Got an ugly tank that is marred by nuisance algae? We want to see it! Post your pictures here, and we will choose the ugliest tank to us. The "winner" will receive a custom crew from us, (or a refund on a recently purchased custom crew), and be given step by step instructions on how to get their tank clean. Everybody who participates will be given a 25% discount.

Show us how bad it can get!

Note: By submitting a photo, or a link to a photo, you confirm that you are both the owner of the photo and the tank. By posting the photo, or linking to it you give us the right to use the photo on the site. You have the choice whether to remain anonymous or be credited for the photo. If you wish to be credited for the photo, please place your name on the actual photo itself.

Remember that you asked for it!

I must preface this with a brief explanation . My local tank started growing different types of macro algae so I decided to let them have some grow out time. I have beautiful reds and all types of greens but also way too much. There is hydroids, bryopsis, bubble algae, hair algae, cyano, and many other different types of macros. What army can clean this up? :lol2:

Here you go:

Cool idea for a contest.

 

[h20 freak]

The sand has always been a mess:irked:

 

[johnmaloney]

WOW Domboski! Great looking caulerpa in there! Really nice specimens. What is the red thing in the middle? Is that a macro too?

Looking good H2O! Is that an older tank?

 

[Domboski]

Thanks John. The red thing in the middle is a sponge.

I can't beleive this has not gotten much more interest. People are always posting pictures of their ugly algae infested tanks. What's the matter, having the official ugliest tank on MR is not worth a free clean up crew?

I can win this, but do not want to embarrass myself :lol:

 

[Domboski]

I can win this, but do not want to embarrass myself :lol:

I like your tank! :lol2:

 

[Euroreefer]

LOL. I nominate Dombowski!

 

[mandown123]

we dont have enough choices. I can't believe you guys are so self conscious about your cyanos!

 

[h20 freak]

Looking good H2O! Is that an older tank?

Almost 3 years

And only two entries? Wow.

 

[johnmaloney]

We are getting a bunch in from all over the net, so even if not many more show their tanks it will still be a good show at the end. Domboski, while I apprecitate you getting things started here, that tank isn't going to win. Sorry, but I want like 90% of the stuff in there.

Everybody has fought algae at sometime people. Nothing to be ashamed of.
