UPDATE:: WEEK 9: Member with the most points for this week wins the week #9 spot. See below for point details!

The time has come for the R2R Forum Challenge! The rules and how the contest will go as is follows:

Contest Start: Feb. 1st @ 12am Eastern (each week starts over at 12am est.)
Length of contest: 12 WEEKS
Number of Qualifiers: 12 (One per each week. Points will start over at the beginning of each contest week. Each member can only qualify once.)
Winners: Each qualifier will win a prize. (We will draw for the Grand Prize from the group of 12 and then so on until all prizes are gone. One prize per qualifier)
To Qualify: Member with the top point total for each week will be that weeks qualifier.

Ok so I guess you're wondering how to get points? Here goes the point breakdown.
You will receive points for certain task. These points are automatically added by the contest software I have so there is no room for human error. Here is a list of how to earn points.

Every time you post you will receive 10 points. (minimum of 50 characters to be counted and yes the software knows if it is 50 or not)

If you start a thread that is decided to be "STICKY WORTHY" you will be given 250 points for the week the thread has been started. If you wish for your thread to be considered for this you must contact skinz78 with a link to your thread via PM during the week that you have started your thread. The R2R Team will then decide if your thread is "STICKY WORTHY". Entry's for this portion of the contest will be cut off on the Sunday of the week to give the R2R staff time to decide on what is "sticky worthy".

Every time you refer a person and they add your exact member name to the registration process you will receive 50 points. (new member must have at least 5 post for your points to add in. Also if we detect that you have created new accounts in order to "cheat" then you will be disqualified instantly and put on R2R probation. Sounds harsh I know but people try to cheat)

For every thread you post to you will receive 10 points. (this only counts one time per each thread and still needs a minimum of 50 characters)

For every forum you post too you will receive 10 points. (this only counts one time per forum and still needs a minimum of 50 characters)

For every thread you start you will receive 20 points. (you need a minimum of 50 characters to count)

Note: If we see threads and post that are worthless they will be deleted. Also offenders will be disqualified. Also note that their are certain forums that will not count any points for post or threads no matter what. These are the selling, trading, ID, sponsor, feedback, giveaway, lounge, and club forums. These will not count!

PLEASE note that it doesn't matter how many post and so on you have now. The contest starts everyone fresh no matter if you have 1 post or 1000 post before the contest starts. Everyone has an equal chance!

Ok so now for the prizes and awesome sponsors of each prize!

1. Grand Prize Sponsored by REEF2REEF is a 150G Marineland Deep Dimension Aquarium, Stand, and Canopy.

Yeah, I really want it and I am prepared to go for it, but I don't want to annoy other members as i have definately read some push back on it. But I guess you got to put it out there!

Cool make it happen, things have been slowing down lately. Time to pick up the pace.

LOL this is just my normal post rate, I like to spread the knowledge as much as possible all the time! I really didn't try a whole lot harder when I did qualify.

DB- I think it might be too much to try to set up a new system and post. You never know what could go wrong if you split your attention. ;)

Lol- but I could share all the fun :tongue: plus I'm going to be really freaking excited- I'm swapping a 20L with no sump (so has live rock taking up half the tank) for a 4x2 SUMPED system. The amount of real estate I'm gaining is still just amazing me.

I think a new system is an easy way to qualify. I'm sure you'll be asking questions and sharing along the way.

Oh- I'll be sharing- but for the past year I've been doing the asking and dreaming about it, so have most of my answers pretty good for the basics. Will be looking for input on skimmer's though- this is my first non-nano tank so I'm totally clueless on a skimmer for my needs at this point (I'm used to saying "tunze 9002" and calling it a day :tongue: ) But yea, there will be some new questions coming up, and some posts when I get the pipefish tank plumbed into it- just not sure if that'll happen now or if I'll put it off till I've figured out where I'm going to be living :squigglemouth:
