First, let me say we at Reef Cleaners were honored to host the 2nd Annual Ugly Tank Contest, and look forward to hosting next year's contest. Because of server constraints, we cannot post the 50+ submissions from this year, here, you will have to go to this link:

http://reefcleaners.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=87&func=view&catid=2&id=1580#1580

to checkout the entries, view the finalists and find the Ugliest Tank of 2009. Sorry for the extra trip, but the forum software has an images limit. If you right click the link above and select "Open in New Tab/Window" you will be able to stay here and view the images in separate window.

There is a nuisance algae in there. In the front middle of the tank, the cup shaped macro.

i love how the macro grows straight up the corners! :) Thanks John (for the compliment) the rock is agrocrete. I have videos of all three of my tanks posted, they are all different and equally nice, you should check them out! :D

I know, I know, I shouldn't compliment my own tanks, I am just so proud!
