I’d like to thank our readers for a tremendous year here at GBD. It has been great writing, interacting and meeting so many new people, all whom share the same passion and love for aquariums. In light of the holiday season and 2009 coming to a wrap,  we’re offering a giveaway that hopefully will appeal to all reefers.

If there’s one thing that’s as good as cash to a reef addict it’s a gift certificate to a reef store. That’s why I’m giving away a $100 Gift certificate to LiveAquaria. In addition LiveAquaria has kindly helped us out by providing this exact (WYSIWYG) frag of their yet to be released DFS Real Deal Echinata. This stunning Acropora echinata will be the first of the 2010 limited aquaculture releases from LiveAquaria’s marine facility in Rhinelander, Wisconsin… and one lucky winner will get it for free!

Enter to win this DFS Real Deal Echinata aquacultured frag and a $100 gift certificate to LiveAquaria.com


How to Enter: Leave a comment on this article and you’ll be automatically entered.

Who Can Play: Anyone 18 years or older in the U.S. (apologies to our international readers). Limit one entry per person. For additional rules see here.

Drawing: Entries close at 11:59PM on Sunday, December 27th. The winner will be randomly drawn the following day, December 28th, and announced by 7PM Central.

Shipping: The winner of the $100 gift certificate and DFS Real Deal Echinata may redeem their prize after January 4th, 2010. Coordination will be handled by LiveAquaria. As such, by entering this contest you give GBD the right to pass on your contact information to LiveAquaria in the event that you win.

Happy Holidays from GBD. Good luck!

Update: The giveaway is now closed. Winner to be announced later today!
