Keeper of the Acro Contest! Vote here!

[Emerald525]

As some of you know, Tim started this thread:

 

http://www.pnwmas.org/topic/34960-acro-keeper/

 

For those of you new to the forum, Tim used to own Westside and had one of the nicest displays of sps. I learned a lot about sps from him and so did many others. He also has a good eye for unnamed acros and can see their potential. He has 2 named acros the Westside Rainbow and the Westside Longhorn. 

He has generously offered up a unique and unusual colony and the contest is to see who can get the best color out of the unnamed colony.

 

There are a lot more worthy growers than there are spots so to make it fair I am helping Tim out and posting the pictures and you can decide who gets to be the keeper of the Acros. Voting will go for a week. I posted one picture for each entrant.

 

There are only 6 spots left so vote 6 times! To see more pictures from the entrants go to the thread above. Please pick the entrants you feel have a good chance of making this new acro a thing of beauty as the winner gets to name it and the colony goes to PNWMAS  I posted only one picture per entrant. If you want to see more than go to the site.:

 

 

Here is the acro with all the potential!

 

 

 

Please also note that some people do not have fancy cameras and had to rely on cell phones so try to take that into account when voting. 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are acro keepers already selected:

 

Ken (Kshack)

Frank 

Brad (Reefnjunkie)

Fernando 

Isaac (Mandinga)

Batchelor

Jorge

Beer503

 

 

Remember only pick 6!

Should the people in the running not vote? Also what happens in the event of a tie?

No people in the running can vote ! Sorry the pictures didn't come out I hope someone with it experience can fix them. You can refer to the original threat to see pictures.

[cerk1985]

So we can vote? Lol sorry I read that both ways lol.

[Emerald525]

Yes ! You may vote! In the event of a tie there would be a run off between the ones who are tied,

If my PAR Masterpiece of a tank doesn't win a spot, then I know this vote is fixed ......good luck to everyone entered!

Thanks Kim if people want to do group buy just let me know, I personally just want to grow the best and pretties acro because that is my passion, anyway I hope you choose well.

I will definitely let you know. I'm going to start trying out a few sps in my tank but don't have room for much more and I'm not as stick crazy as some of you. You did have one of the best sps show tanks.

All the people listed are very capable sps growers so you really can't lose Tim!

[Tim]

I have no idea. I was just helping Tim decide on the growers. The rest of the arrangements will be up to him.
