My Tank Thread
We're exactly 40 DAYS from THANKSGIVING!! It's a great season to be filled with gratitude and thinking of the things that make life so special. We're grateful for the wonderful relationships we get to build as a part of this community, and of course for this wonderful hobby that brings us all together!
In celebration of this special time of year, we're excited to team up with @ReefChasers who is bring us an absolutely awesome giveaway where one lucky reefer will take home a Red Sea Reefer XL 525 valued at over $3,000! Now that's something we're sure you'd be thankful for!! So welcome to Reef Chasers 40 Days of Reefsgiving!!
This giveaway will be tons of fun as we're bringing a contest with its own calendar of entry challenges! You'll have a 40-day calendar of entry opportunities to complete (1 for each day), and the more you complete, the more chances you have to win!!
Official Rules:
- You must complete the Official Entry before completing any of the daily or bonus entries. We will verify the official entry before confirming the winner, so DO NOT miss that step!
- Each daily entry is ONLY valid for the day assigned. Once that day has passed, the opportunity for that entry is GONE!
- Be sure to make a post in this thread for each and every entry you complete (this is important since we will be using a random number generator to pick the winning post).
- You must be 18 and living in the continental United States to enter. (We hate this for those living outside the continental US, but we have to have this rule due to the shipping costs of this prize.)
