I have been thinking for days that the winner has to have been "hand selected" out of the Preferred Reefers such that the prize goes to someone who has a suitable home and will keep most all of the equipment, set up the tank in their house, fulfill the trip to LA with Randy and Ryan to choose fish and coral, etc. and allow folks to follow along in the journey. It would not be nearly as cool (for us to see) if a college student living in a dorm with a 10 gallon nano who ordered salt in the last year won this crazy prize. Just to have a suitable place for the tank and a substantial foundation (joists) is an undertaking for many of us here on R2R.
If I won it then I'd have to turn it down. Maybe that's what they're hoping?
