x2

[The Red Severum]

agreed 6!

[troutking]

lov the pbass in pic 6

[LBathory]

3 has a really nice feng shui. got my vote ;)

[redbellyPirahna4]

#6 love the cichla

[redchaser]

I've got to go with #7. Everything from the beautiful burrled maple cabinet work, great looking background, and the massive pair of stones it takes to keep discus with an arowana and oscar...

[uting]

number 6!

[Pyramid_Party]

Wow these contests are biased. I went with something different this time, I like number 4.

[jcardona1]

6, game over! awesome tank and cichla :headbang2

[Arturo]

6 is the number for me. Almost as if they positioned the fish to come out like that, also the tank is simple and clean.

[devder1]

It's too bad the contest isn't even about the tank anymore, it's just who has the coolest fish like usual:(

[---XR---]

everything has to be taken into account when judging each tank, aquascapeing is great, but the tank needs a focal point, those monocs are prefect.

[Natural_Born_Killer]

i was inbetween 6 & 2, decided in the end for 2, just has a nice feeling about it to me...

than what do you suggest as a focal point for tank 8?

[shelbyzman]

I like 2 and 5, ended up voting for 2...very nice looking tank.
I like number 1 too, just think the pic quality doesn't really do it justice.

[---XR---]

german blue rams or apisto's. I'm also partial to how good the picture of the tank is taken, if the shot was darker and i couldn't see the back of the tank or the filter, with the plants/substrate popping out aswell as the flashy colors of the small cichlids, it would be great.

[Proteus]

#6 gotta applaud the setup for those specimens- very realistic like what would have been seen in the wild at that moment.

Cheers to #6

however felt #7 has potential if the angle was better

[Maduro]

#2 all the waaaaay!

[SanguineBane]

really dig 5

[jcardona1]

It's too bad the contest isn't even about the tank anymore, it's just who has the coolest fish like usual:(
um NO, its not like that. if there was a good planted tank setup this month, i would have voted for that because planted tanks are some of the most amazing setups. but there wasnt, so i went with the next best thing. #6 is a complete package. clean, simple setup and great looking fish that compliment the decor well.

[malawi mayhem]

#2

For me it was a very hard choice between 2 and 6. This, inspite of the african entry which is very similar to my own 2 tanks....

I look forward to getting pics up soon...

Good Luck to all...!

[JK47]

#6 is amazing! Simple, green and mean...

[silverdragon]

#6 got my vote!

[Sarin9390]

All of the tanks are amazing but #2 and #6 are my favorites. But number #2 got my vote, i just think it a truly breath taking aquarium, awesome...

[blazin_dragon18]

i'm sure #7 is a great set up, but the angle of the pic just don't tell the full story. can we see a full frontal pic?

[devder1]

Hey guys look at tank 8 what are some things you think I could do to improve the overall look of the tank? Thanks

[mtuttle02]

no questions # 6

[Monolicious]

Try a black background as it will give the tank more depth and show your plants off a lot better IMO

[vaine111]

it was a toss up between 2 and 6 but 6 got me. i love the placement of the air bubbles and the 2 huge rocks... basic pbass tanks are the way to go. if 7 would of gave a better front veiw i'm sure it would of got my vote.

[haynchinook334]

TTT

Its an eclipse system, the background is a mirror :(

[Maduro]

One thing that will help the look of your tank is hiding the equipment. You'll see a quick improvement as the hardware becomes one less thing detracting from your fish and plants.

[hairdog]

two rocks a stump and a fake plant is running away with tank of the month

ok im not sure how to cover the filter?

[Maduro]

Figure out some sort of vertical elements / structure to hide the tube (plants, rock, wood). Also, don't keep your algae scraper and clip in there when not in use. please keep in mind I think your tank is cool as is and am only offering these suggestions based on your question. Lots of folks get away with just leaning a piece of wood against the corner in front of the filter.

k ill try

[Diogenes]

yeah people just vote for the fish they like in all these things. If there are more people on the site that like a certain fish then that's the winner.

[Ullopincrate]

I'm going with seven. Beautiful tank, cabinet, aro, discus..... hands down.

[BaTsBR]

owner of the tank 7, please, do you have more pics of your tank ??
if you have a link, could you send me a pm ? looks very good. congrats.

[Clslogic]

its between 2 4 and 5 for me. All look good though.

[jojo_nature]

As this is Tank of the month i have to vote 7 i think it's the best looking tank not the best photo but still best tank IMO .

[jasoncambs]

i did my vote , but did wonder if the title should be MARCH 2009 TOM,, or is it a old thread from 2008??,, i voted anyway ,,

[adc464]

tank 2: are those fake/silk plants?

[houseofpayne]

#2-nice jags

[Kenfish]

#7 - this is a great tank but pics doesn't do any justice.

[r3d]

#2 is amazing
but i accidentally voted 3 instead of 2 :(

[Maduro]

Plants are fake in my tank, I doubt real plants would fare well in my dim lighting...compliments of crafts shop ( very cheap). thanks for compliments, love my jags

[Tunez]

i went with number 2 looks really well landscaped

[KASK]

NUMBER THREE HAS NICE COLOR AND VARIETY ID GO WITH THAT ONE

[packer43064]

6 was boring. Too much open space. Looked off balance with the fish at the bottom. I voted for 2. It just gave me a calming effect. A very light green effect to the tank. Very well proportioned with the drift wood spanning the tank.

[Monolicious]

#6 is set up for the species of fish that are being kept.

[packer43064]

It's TOTM. I don't care what fish are in it. Just how the deco looks and how it makes you feel.:)

[Mattyou]

Whoever has tank #7, point me towards your photo albums in a PM plz.

Thanks

[Colubrids&Boids]

#6 Ftw!

[M4K3L4]

DEFINATLY SIX. JUST THE RIGHT BLEND OF EVERYTHING. NICE TANK:jaw:

[Gator]

#6 got my vote!

[twistedsnap]

went with seven but it was close with 2 and 6 kinda think should went 6 now that i look at it again
