Red Coral "What Can You Make of THIS?" Contest WINNER ANNOUNCED!!!

[Carmen]

INTRODUCING:

RED CORAL “What Can You Make of THIS?” Contest!


Red Coral would like to propose a contest!


We would like to challenge 8 contestants to devise a CREATIVE and ORIGINAL use for the Midiflotor or Miniflotor Skimmer! Red Coral has 8 of these units in stock. Due to the incredible advancements in skimmer technology there is no longer a place in the marine aquarium hobby for these particular units when used as a skimmer. Therefore we are challenging the contestants to come up with another innovative use for this unit! Anything aquarium related… BE CREATIVE and Have FUN!



Red Coral has 8 of these skimmers, 4 of each size, available for contest use. To enter the contest a $25 Red Coral Gift certificate must be purchased (to be used in store or on our online store at the end of the contest). Nine independent silent judges will judge the contest. Contestants will have 2 months to complete the challenge and provide pictures and details of your new creation or creative use for this unit on Canreef. The contest will begin as soon as all 8 contestants have picked up their units from Red Coral. Contest is first come, first serve since we have only 8 units available!

The winner will receive a $175 Gift Certificate from Red Coral (to be used either in store or on our new online store) and hopefully all the contestants will also benefit from their creations with an innovative new use for this unit!


RULES:

1.Make whatever you choose using one of these 2 skimmers. It must be aquarium related. The idea is to try and find a creative new use for this skimmer.

2.You may use it as is or take it apart, but please use the bulk of the parts in your new creation. The judges will be taking into consideration how much or how little of the units are used in your creation.

3.The judges will be voting based on usefulness, most innovative, and as stated above, inclusion of skimmer parts.


HAVE FUN!!

Any questions regarding this contest should be directed to Carmen via private messaging on Canreef.

We will ship at contestants expense.

Cool idea. I think my hubby would kill me if I got yet another piece of tank equipment just to have it hang around the house

I'm still thinking about it though

[danny zubot]

If I give one to my toddlers, I'm pretty sure they would come up with a few fun uses for it. Not sure if it would actually benifit the tank though.
Cool contest, can't wait to see what people come up with.

Today is AUGUST 1ST - Contest End DAY. I have heard back from a couple more of the contestants who think they should have something to enter by the end of today 12:00 midnight.

Nobody reads the first page any more LOL

You'll have to let us know how well your Reef Bong really works. I think the concept is very clever. I can see you having to trim back the cheato from time to time though. Congrats!

Thanks everyone I enjoyed making it. Jepree came up with the idea and we both worked on brainstormin and everything. Go team reefbong! lol

danny: Ya, after I started I regreted not grabbing the bigger skimmer, but smaller and more compact works for me.... which is the reason I made it a HOB system (for now i only have a 30 gal). Well see how it fits under the stand on the sump on the new tank (if i ever get it setup )
