It is a very good and original idea. Well executed. It does however contradict the grading criteria in IAPLC, especially the new ones. It is only normal for a business contest to pass the top score to the top WOW front picture. I wonder if IAPLC will ever consider what the contest aquariums look...

How is this related to a "hobby" contest? ADA claims IAPLC is a contest between hobbyists, but that's not the case. Or perhaps you want me to do the home work here to back up my point? You can read, right. So just go on the ADA dealers web sites and see who they are. Then see what is their...

IAPLC have never been won by a random independent guy. Not once. Besides how hard is to check all ADA dealers and see where most of the names of all winners come from? You see, if it is not the dealers participating it will be their customers with scapes that were created and often maintained by...

Naive not one bit, but impossible. Now, let me explain how does all this works. Dealers and distributors of aquatic products are also aquascapers as this is part of their aquatic business. It is only normal to promote your own representatives as winners, rather that some random guys with nice...

These new rules seem good, but are as usual another pile of dust in the eyes of the contestants, as most aquascapes I have seen so far from 2014 got nothing in common with such rules. But then of course its always down to personal interpretation since most judges are not really well educated in...

Didn't even think I would get this far this year with so many competitors. #129

I use only RO water with GH booster, but that's not guarantee for anything. Wiht right management tap water is just as good for plants.

All my test kits are from Macherey-Nagel. Company that produces all sorts of tests for laboratories of any kind including those that control the municipality water supply.

This is what most people say when they have actually nothing to say. Someone else is bad. How good is when you and others ignore every post I make and give me cheap water change or CO2 boost advise?

Have you tried reading the posts above?

If anyone wants to flush an angry man with more wisdom, please go elsewhere for that. If anyone can offer any scientific explanation of why could this be happening (cut the CO2, water changes and frets basic crap) then I am open for suggestions, because I still have a pile of this substrate in...

Now since you appear to miss the point let me spell it for you. One pot is perfect, the other is crap. Both in the same environment. Now what does water changes have anything to do with this fact when in both pots the same plant is propagated. Or would you like to have the pictures much bigger...

You are welcome. Evidently ADA fun boys don't think this way.

Those plants are grown in hydroponics, not in aquarium, not under water. So the ammonia burn inhere s a urban legend, nothing more, especially considering that according to ADA this newer Amazonia substrate have actually reduced levels of Nitrogen by half. In the old Amazonia I never had...

Do you find it hard to believe that once any big company gets stable share of the market they also start downgrading their product quality for the sake of greater profit. So many companies went this way, like bloody all of them. Check this tread out. I have published rock solid evidence for...
