| UPDATE: Doc1 is the winner of the Aquarium of the Month contest. TropicalGrimmish has been disqualified and banned for cheating in the contest. Doc1 - I'll be sending you the gift code soon.
ALL - please re-read the forum rules and contest rules in case of any confusion going forward. They are both very short reads.
Thanks,

Mike | That is so rediculous! Seems like cheating would take a tremendous amount of work and take away the fun of winning.....That's just a shame! |

| It's pretty sad. Unfortunately, this was not the only situation with the photo contests that has come to light recently. While I do not believe there are plans to post details publically, you can be sure that measures have been put in place to prevent this type of thing from happening again. So for the many of you who enjoy the photo contests each month...keep those pictures coming!
Lastly...congratulations to this month's winners! |

| Copied from the contest rules: Anyone caught trying to cheat will get their membership revoked (banned).
Anyone caught cheating will be banned from Fish Lore. |

Suffice it to say that it is quite a bit of work to cheat for a $10 coupon and a month's worth of bragging rights on Fishlore.
Now, on to happier things. Congrats to the winners, and to everyone who submitted. There were a bunch of beautiful photos.  |
