    Default **Winner of the ACS Desktop Nano Dec competition**

    A huge thank you to Nick at Aquarium Cabinet Solutions for offering up this great prize and for Pete aka Chippypah who made the media chamber and the reactor & the outer chamber has the Salty Box logo engraved in it.

    We wanted to see a photo of anything from your tank. This was not limited to anything other than it had to be from your tank & the picture taken by you.

    Nick at ACS was emailed all of the entries & there were quite a few. He went through them all but said he struggled to pick an actual winner so emailed me back his final 5 & asked me to create a poll so The Salty Box members could vote and they choose the overall winner.

    Well the clear winner was picture number 3



    This picture belongs to Pete aka Killi.

    Now Pete won the Arcadia Dec competition and as per TSB rule number 8:-

    Rule #8. If you win more than one prize in a particular month, you may choose only one of those prizes. Once done so, the remaining unclaimed prize/s would then be offered to the second placed entrant/s.

    So in 2nd place was picture number 4




    & this beautiful picture of a yellow sun coral belongs to Neil aka mrbluefox

    Congratulations Neil. Please contact Nick at ACS to claim your Nano tank

    We want to see a tank thread now Neil with some cracking shots

    This is how the poll stood:-

    picture 1 5 11.11%
    picture 2 4 8.89%
    picture 3 23 51.11%
    picture 4 8 17.78%
    picture 5 5 11.11%

    As always, a huge thank you to all that took the time to enter & for those that voted.

    Dont forget the new competitions that are currently running this January

    First of all, I'd like to mention again how grateful we all are for Nick at ACS and Pete at Chippypah reactors for providing a kick-ass end-of-year prize (as we are for all of the suppliers who provide the prizes for these competitions) which, let's face it, comes off the bottom line. And during times of austerity like these, we should be even more grateful for any offers that are given. So guys - thank you very much.

    Second, I think you'll all agree that Pete's picture was an absolute belter and when I saw that mine had been pitched against it my heart sank. My partner Anna gave the all telling "That number 3 is very good isn't it?". Just what you want to hear(!) Well done Pete on winning two in the same month.

    Finally...Thank you very much guys! You don't know how long it took me to get a photo that I was pleased with. Anna mocked me for sitting, lights off, in pitch black trying to get that elusive shot where the polyps were fully open and weren't covering the mouth.

    I already have ideas for what I want to create and will be informing you all in the not too distant. In fact, I actually awoke one morning in December thinking..."Yes I want to build a ....... tank". Needless to say I got excited and failed to go back to sleep - understandably, I wasn't very productive at work that day!!

    Fingers crossed it'll be a tank of the month one day, it'll certainly be a challenge and one that I can't wait to share with you all on here.

    Again, thank you very much!!

    I am a fan of Sun Corals. So well done, and what a fantastic prize!
    Pic 3 was also a stunner, really good quality.
