AGA International Aquascaping Contest

[tuvok]

Please forgive me if this site is already common knowledge, however, I was inspired today by the tanks I had seen entered in the Aquatic Gardener's Aquascaping contest and thought that they would be good inspirational material for anyone contemplating an aquascaping project. Also, I did not notice whether there were ever any entries from OVAS members but if anyone has ever took part in the competition I would love to get your impressions of the experience. Anyway, here is the link:

I can grow plants... but I can't aquascape worth beans!

The AGA contests are always fun to check out.  Frankly, if I could have any of my tanks looking that good, I'd be more than happy.

I wish I could do either. The small tank aquascapes are the most interesting to me. I really wish I could get a feel for how some of those contestants make a 5-10g tank look like you are watching a scene from a mountaintop.

Nice site...lots of ideas.  I'm with BD...I can keep plants alive at this point but Aquascaping?  no way...

It's true, if you look at Amano's tanks, he can make a 1 gal tank look huge by using small fish and lots of small leaved plants.
