Gouldian · August 19, 2010

Hi Guys,

This will be the coolest events in the Marine Scene for this year!

Reasons:

For many years, organisers have been cracking their brains to look for a suitable way to showcase captive marine aquaria without success
1st professionally organized Photo Contest for Captive Marine Aquaria in the 1st all Marine Exhibition
Photo contest provides opportunity to showcase our beloved tanks without risking our lifestocks
Most set-up contest is prohibitive to most hobbyists due to time, logistics and manpower
We are not the 1st to organized photo contest for captive aquarium set-up, ADA have been doing so for many years
Conscientious way of promoting Marine Aquaria to the public

Looking at the prizes, it is really worthwhile the efforts of spending additional hours maintaining your tank and taking a the shots needed for the contest!

Please give us your generous supports! :ThanxSmiley:
