They're all awesome. Great set of tanks for sure. Hard to choose just one!

Big props to #15. That's beautiful!!!

All tanks look killer in the own right. I just appreciate the layout and growth vs overall tank size of #15 the most.

Thanks! Just having fun. There are much better photos in this lineup. Glad to be a part of it.

Impossible decision, just have to guess, since they are all so beautiful. In the future if a 60 second video could be sent in as well it would really help at least in my opinion. With how successful these all are in terms of coral coloration/growth seeing the fish (unique?) would really give an edge.

Great idea maybe for a thread on those tanks after the potm vote is done or maybe a video or checking out their build threads...Yet the always tricky question here is:
Should voting consider the quality of the tank, the inhabitants selection and health, the coral selection softies vs lps vs sps or even cherry corals filled tanks or should it focus mainly on the picture quality ie composition , focusing, colors as its a picture contest. I always find myself struggling to keep its a photography contest yet in an aquarium forum. In photography forums for example it's not the norm.to criticise the model and you just focus on the picture quality....
Lets not derail this great POTM with this ill setup a dedicated thread in the forum so we can all share thoughts there.

I agree. An awesome photo of Xenia would be better to me than a dark blurry Master Scoly. With point and shoot cameras on phones, the art of photography is getting lost, but there are some of us trying to bring it back into focus.

we try to keep the submissions anonymous during the vote

@ 90s reefer believe ur tank would give the larger ones a good run in 1-2 years time when corals grow and fill up, the colors and shapes are amazin, am sure itll fill up very nice. I'd be a bit worried about space looking at the number of corals there but that's a different discussion .
