OMGosh that is beautiful. It looks like we have the same size tanks, though. Wish I had the space for it! Good luck on your sale.

I've viewed your webcam before. Don't you have the avatar that's of your tank and it moves? Is it just a .gif or did you stream it? You should submit for our TOTM, I know all of us would enjoy the pics!

That avatar is just linked to image on the homepage of AwesomeReef.com (http://www.AwesomeReef.com) witch updates every 3 seconds. To view the streaming video visit here (http://www.awesomereef.com/stream.html).
I change avatars like underwear. More often than not, it's just a static image.

I'm not familiar with MAAST and their TOTM workflow. Only Charter Members can submit their own tank?

Yes, it is necessary to be a Charter Member ($25 annual dues) to submit for TOTM. There are many other benefits to being a Charter Member. To name a few, discounts at many LFS (Aquatek, Austin Aqua Farms, Coral Reef Bazaar, Deep Blue Aquariums, Horizon Aquatics, and River City Aquatics are all local sponsors); eligibility for door prizes at monthly meetings; reduced/free tickets to special events; voting privileges, and more. You also get a $25 prize for winning TOTM, so please consider joining and submitting.:wink_smile:

BTW, beautiful Gigas!

Not to mention last month Tank of the Year winner I believe won close to $1000 in prizes, which the twelve TOTM's are the nominees for.

Sound like a bunch of salesmen don't we.

ha ha..yeah, but when you have 4 different board members and a TOTM committee person saying to join for TOTM...that is a pretty good indicator you have a shot...LOL...

None of you huge tank guys want this? It may go out to the aquafarm if there's no takers.

How much larger is this going to get? If he is max out, let me know.

I think they can get 4 foot in the wild. I have no idea what the max size is in captivity. It's growing fast though!

I've had a couple people express mild interest, so I'm offering this to the first person that shows up with the money that has a 180g or larger.
