TOTM & FOTM competition - discussion thread

Why? It had the entire full tank in it from what I can see? I could see the surface and both side glass reflections

I have deleted my entry as the rule of "NO DISCUSSIONS!!" has sadly been broken (in this thread) on this occasion.

@Stephen please put your entry back, it's a little bit of leg pulling and that's all.

I set this thread up here because there are no discussions rule allowed on the TOTM forum thread itself.

If you recall it was all to do with this aquarium entry below to tease @fr499y up over the rules.

He'd cropped the photo and I was taking the mickey.

@Martinspuddle

This thread started as a bit of fun with your above 'entry', I found it amusing.
My reply was:-

Good to see an aquarium with no algae … no substrate, no water, no plants , no fish.
I think you have a good chance of winning.

I set this thread up here because there are no discussions rule allowed on the TOTM forum thread itself.

I have read the rule of "NO DISCUSSIONS!!" as meaning anywhere on the forum (whether my interpretation of the rule is right or wrong), hopefully @fr499y can confirm the rule of "NO DISCUSSIONS!!".
In my view any discussions (on the forum) may give an entry an unfair advantage, which I do not want.

I had removed (cropped) the side reflections from my TOTM entry as it did not look good (I can't do anything about converging sides with the camera I used).
I looked at the original photo and thought I had algae on the sides, but no it was blurred reflections of the plants.
I have worked hard on my 120L aquarium over the past month and thought it was a decent entry for the July TOTM.

I know that your post was intended as a bit of fun.
The issue I have is that it was being discussed, which may give an unfair advantage.

@Stephen Put your tank back up I really like it!!

Yeah @Stephen get it back on lol

OK, I have re-posted in the July TOTM.

[fr499y]

No discussions in the thread for the TOTM.

Am I banned from using this thread?

What happened to free speech brother? ...power to the people, we must be heard!

Re-enter your aquarium @Stephen or I posted the worst aquarium you've ever seen.

[plankton]

No, there's no discussions in the actual competition thread, or this thread would have been stopped as soon as it was started.....
Isn't it a shame we can't read how we listen?

@PaulVerrall I'm curious, just how do stop the water draining out the right side of your aquarium?!
