Tank of the Month - October 2009 - MarineManMercer

[MaidstoneMarine]

For the most part I can usually tell which tanks you'll all be voting for but this one took me by complete surprise. It wasn't a tank I could recall seeing but the nominations were still coming in. Lo and behold... there was the update in the Members Tank Videos forum. The first time I watched the video I couldn't believe that I'd not seen such this tank before. It's no surprise that I love my tangs and in this system they are stunning - the powder blue is just out of this world.

Before revealing this months Tank of the Month I have to say a huge thank you. The phonecall I received from this extremely happy Irishman put me on an absolute high! Here was a chap who was just about to go out and celebrate his 40th birthday and he was bouncing off the ceiling with excitment and amazement at winning TOTM. It was an infectious feeling and its experiencing these things that make producing Tank of the Month an absolute privilege.

Congratulations Trevor on being UltimateReefs October 2009 Tank of the Month.
