I don't have sps yet either so ya, I would be sol that month. lol

Or maybe we come up with other themes that offer a little more like sps/lps. Or just "Coral".
I'm thinking we could even do a theme like "Green" that is more general. Those suggestions were just taken from another website so we could come up with our own.
And another idea could be that the winner of each month has to come up with next months challenge. But there was something about seeing the whole year set in stone ahead of time that I kind of liked. I dunno.

I think picking general themes (i.e. "green" instead of "SPS") would work better for our site.

I think Dennis is dead on..it does seem like the same type of pics win every time, and I'd like to see some variety as well!

Whether the themes are less specific than Den's or as specific, I think a theme would be great.

And while I don't like to exclude anyone, I think it's okay if once in a while someone can't enter because they don't have that type of coral or something that meets the criteria. It may give someone else a leg up that time, but the next time around, you might be one of the few who has a good entry...

lol, i can't help it if people want to pay me for my hobby.
I do like keeping it a hobby though. At one time i liked doing the graphic design thing... now it's just work after doing it all day every day for the past 15 years.

Now if I could just figure out how to get my reef hobby to pay for itself.

I think this would make it alot more fun and more challenging. I am for it. I like the idea of rather than doing specific "sps" do "coral" and maybe rather than doing "clams" you could do "things with shells".

Just an idea so everyone can participate.

Yeah I like the coral...fish...non coral invert...rotation? We always seem to get a lot of fish pictures... not that its a big deal but there are a lot of really cool things in our tanks that I think get missed.

I'm game...sounds like more of a challenge (not that I've ever won )....but at least it's not so general.
