The photo contest this month is Emerald Eyes...take a photo of the green jewels in your tank. You may enter up to one each coral, fish, and invert that you love the most...for a total of 3 entries!

To enter you will need to add your photo entry to the applicable CR Showcase forum:
Coral Collector Forum
Fish Finder Forum
Invert Index

Be sure to select the Emerald Eyes from the drop down when you start your thread. When you enter your photo in one of the above forums, you must also complete the thread fields to the best of your knowledge. Completion of the fields will be taken into accounts when choosing the finalists.

If you want a little more information on how to add your corals to one of the showcase forums, here is a tutorial.

This month's prize was is a Hanna Phosphate Checker donated by Premium Aquatics. This will help you get that unwanted green out of your tank, by accurately testing phosphate levels one of the parameters most responsible for nuisance algae growth.

In addition, the winner will have a golden camera award placed in his or her postbit and will be featured on the CR. The winner will also serve as a judge for the next two photo contests.

The last day to submit photos is March 31, 2012.

Selection of the Winning Photo

Based on the number of entries submitted, a number of semi-finalists (10% of the entries will be semi-finalists) will be selected by jimsflies and the previous two POTM winners. Semi-finalists will be posted for the general membership to vote on their favorite. In the event of a tie, the tied entries will be reposted for a tie breaking vote with the general membership. Should we receive 10 or less entries, the judging panel will decide the winner. Photos will be judged on topic, composition, and quality.

Did you know....this is our 24th consecutive monthly photo contest! We've had some awesome photos submitted since we started this! Keep up the great work CR.

What would you classify Cheato as?

[jimsflies]

I knew CR members had the most colorful corals. Apparently green is too common for most of you to keep?

Where are all the green corals?
