    Good day peeps...just a quick question/idea...

    TOTM / TOTY got a bit quiet last year, think it had a lot to do with people finishing their scapes and waiting for their tanks to grow in. Could be that people just didn't want to enter or lost interest...who knows...

    Fact of the matter is...without pitting ourselves against each other, we wont grow. You only as strong (weak) as your opponent...which without the comp...is ourselves. If we cant grow as scapers, how can we grow and compete in the IAPLC? Well, that's just my thoughts...

    Anyway...admins, members, Trump supporters and snail killers...I want to know if you guys are interested in starting the TOTM off again? We in a new year, still January so we can start from scratch.

    I'm even tempted to add some livestock as a prize come end of the year if you guys dont want to enter just for the fame and glory. I know the owner from Nano Aquatics quite well and I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze an apisto pair, CPDs, shrimps, half used tin of fish food, 2 beers or something similar out of him...

    Thoughts??

    I liked looking at the TOTM/Y. Very inspirational. I think it is a good idea although I do not have a tank to post currently. Think many people will be in the same boat (or should that be tank?)

    Just a quick question though - can a brackish tank be entered or not? I'm currently in the process of converting my cube to brackish - still want those bumblebee gobies lol

    Bar a few exceptions this is no longer a scaping forum sadly...
    As for the mods, well apart from @RC they don't really exist anymore do they...

    TOTM was becoming tediously boring and one had to literally scrape the barrel most months to find tanks or even get votes in for that matter. Not sure this will last long if reborn as this forum is way too small for it.

    SOTM might have more appeal :)

    Ps: I nominate @Deadpool as a new mod, why bother keeping most the others mods if they are never here and modify zilch ?

    There are few of the old guys rescaping. Mabe their tanks will be some inspiration for the new guys that joined. SOTM hmmmm i think that will be a battle between @Trev Pleco and @Maurice. Only guys i know with some high grades and @wolf also starting up again.

    I also nominate Marc for the new south of the orange mod :)

    the great thing about this forum is you can talk about the mods and they will never know, well most of them ..
