I kind of like the idea of teams: especially where a novice is being helped along by a more experianced reefer. It might also be a really fun thing for parents and children to work on together on . . . or husbands and wives . . . Or siblings.

I would say no to teams the tanks are small enough to handle on our own I think (unless you would cut off your own hand with power tools in an attempt to plumb a tank....), but how about catagorys?
Newbie reefers (less then a year)
Experienced
Advanced

I know I dont stand a chance against even half the people who are newer then me lol

Two questions:
The 10 pts for photography is only on pics of the full tank shots? Not equipment plumbing etc?
Next, is the contest for the tank only or are stands and how and what the tank sits on also part of the contest?

the 10 points for photography will be for anything to do with photography including fulltankshots,updates,and just general pics added when ever. it wont come down to who takes the best pics , a person who shows 10 phone pics and gives a bit of detail or just posts random pics may get more points then the person who goes out and buys a $3000 camera for 4 pics and just expects to win .maybe you cant get a pic of that tricky wrasse they all come out blurred...so post 10 blurred shots that shows the judges that you are trying for both participation and phtography:P

stands, light holders whatever little goodies you incorporate will def be looked at, not saying you "have" to post stand pics but being a bit creative might sway the judges for some points ya know
