International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest

[SeverumGuy]

I was looking in a magazine and stumbled across the 2010 contest results. I didn't know something like this existed. I was blown away by some of the creations people have made in their tanks. Has anyone seen this contest before? If so, what are you opinions on some of the tanks?

I looked it up after I saw this. Crazy. I can't believe this isn't photoshopped.

It gives me a new goal for keeping aquariums. I have live plants and it helps me to be more creative. Even if I don't try to compete, it'll be great to look at that everyday.

 

[TheCrazyFishLady]

Oh yea, I would love to have something like that. I would be so scared to touch anything in there!

 

[SeverumGuy]

Yeah, but I would imagine that the ones that took after a land scene would have to do frequent trimming and adjustments to keep things in place.

Look up dutch planted tanks. Crazy lights, crazy ferts, daily trimmings. They're gorgeous, but way too much work for me.
