Good idea, an interesting subject alright and Keymaker is the man to make it all happen!! I would be interested in some successful aquascapes that work but dont adhere to the golden ratio or the classic triangle idea that keymaker has outlined, contra ratio aquascapes lets call them :D would you...

Re: Live aquascapes at a London art gallery Very interesting project guys, the best of luck with it, lots of hard work ahead I'm sure. Definitely a first for the UK art market, try and get Charles Sattchi down to spend a few quid :wink: :D

Thats what I was going to say, only 8 of the 18 judges are from Asia the rest are from mainly Europe with a couple from the USA, and dont forget this years winner is for the first time from outside of Asia as well. There is a good picture in last years 2009 IAPLC contest book of amano basically...

I thought they were the same scape, I had to do a double take, I said whats going on here! :geek: <- I Think I need glasses! They just look over sharpened to me as well, way oversharpened.

Well that explains that I suppose and it is very bad luck if thats indeed what happened, because I see the no.106 positioned tank in this years IALPC 2010 was the large tank catagory winner at this years AAC 2010 competition which only released results in the last couple of months. Still, no...

Hey thanks for all the congrats guys, got lucky again haha. Well done to all who entered its a good bit of gas anyway waiting for the result whatever that may be. Especially well done to Victor, great result right there. That new lad Dan Farmer did well with his first entry as well!! But I cant...

Entered mine last night, ID：02012, so I dont know if that equates to the amount of entries or not, its a high number anyway. I would imagine the entry deadline is an International clock deadline, cant see how they could work it otherwise without specifically stating it in the rules. Japan is...

I think the whole competition thing brings a different edge to the hobby some of it is good. eg. it drives the hobby forward, it can bring new innovative ideas, and at the end of the day it brings forth some amazing aquascapes. But its also bad as well IMO, like you say you dont see journals...

Well done lads, no pressure eh! Fair play Plantedbox as well for the plant donations :clap: The tank works well as a display tank, the Cyperus helferi worked nicely given the problematic tank dimensions. A UKaps stand at the show that would be something alright, might even beat the lofty...

Its a bit of a drag alright the image thing but I bet they wont fully clarify it even if you do ask. What they want IMO is exclusivity for the contest rather than just copyright, the more images that are not published before the contest around the web gives the contest more exclusivity in a way...

Re: Interzoo Report (New!!) Food for thought indeed, would you know any details on how much light they used over the tank George during the growout stage, the clue is more than likely in the carbonated water though like you say, it might need another trip to Tropica Denmark to find out! :D it...

Re: Interzoo Report (New!!) Brilliant stuff George great report. 9 halls, sore feet Im sure and thats only from the first time around :crazy: The tanks are really great, I see what Victor means with Olivers tank now, just a little overgrown :shock:

Hiya George, its a Wood rock scape on a sloping substrate, a woodygumi or something like that ! :D just posted in a different thread the wood was all collected from the beach, the rocks are seiryu rocks, the grey colour of the rocks contrast with the moss on the driftwood and the hairgrass...

Sorry to hear that George, definitely a setback, these things happen though :? This hobby can definitely be a challange sometimes, especially at times like this. All steam ahead for AGA I would say, get yourself back on track. Good luck with the tank cleanup, look forward to seeing it when its...

Well its the final run into the deadline for this years ADA competition and I am just wondering how everyone is getting on.All the last minute trimming, photographing, cleaning of tanks/rocks and removal of algae :lol: should all be happening about now. Those aquascapers with the really tidy...

Some splendid pictures :D tanks looking good as always from TGM, thanks for sharing your trip guys :thumbup:

Looks like a great trip guys a privilege indeed, large tank on right hand side looks like it has quality potiential, well they all do of course! Thanks for sharing the pics look forward to the rest. How do they transport the tanks btw Air or road?

Wonder what it is I saw something similar recently on a asian website, must have been Aquaticquotient or one of the blogs, they were trying to identify it, probably not the same moss mind you, interesting little moss, it would be great for aquascaping.

Great pics guys thanks for sharing your day out great to see everyone in the flesh so to speak. Very impressive displays for shop type tanks I have to say, really good, a credit to the people looking after them. That low growing moss a few pics back looks very interesting did anyone buy any of...

I will more than likely enter a 60cm aquascape this year, have two 60cm tanks on the go atm one is looking pretty ok, both need more work mind you but getting there, feel better organised than last year. Everyone should enter anyway, its a good experience.

Second year, I need to get out more :wink: I don't think you would be laughed out of it, there seemed to be an emphasis on originality especially with the result in the nano contest. Overall v good standard.

well done all! Respectable result there James some v good quality entries in the contest. I liked George's Iwagumi nano I thought it had a nice balance to it, I thought the fish made it look a bit busy though (minor complaint for a very nice tank :wink: ) Very good turnout overall for a first...

We need the live cam on now, that could be interesting............. :D

Rescaping those nanos second/third time round (the twist :D ) The only downside to the live feed was the "betta cam" that didn't go down to well with the audience :mrgreen: Still, good job for first attempt, definitely the way forward.

I can imagine, I'd say they are rescaping those nanos second/third time round :D Live feed was a bit of craic anyway, got a flavour of the techno mayhem. Well done on the technical side Paulo you have set the standard for future events :wink:

Nope this is definitely this weekend :wink: Just waiting for the pics of the scape off now.

look at all that gear,no excuses, looking for some serious aquascaping here today :D (just to add some pressure)

Censored :D Big brother (Paulo) :mrgreen:

Can you hear any sound??

Sign up and you can chat straight away, only took me a second.

Hi steve thanks for posting up the pics in the other thread that was quickl!!! One question on the live feed, should I be hearing sound? I'm not getting any sound or maybe you have it swictched off for the moment??

Nice photos Clark! Seems like there were good crowds there. Did I spot a broken lily pipe in one of the small tanks :D The main tank is impressive could look good in someones sitting room, is anybody bringing that home? Well the Mountainscape certainly looks good at that scale, I could never...

I'm impressed! looks sweet, very nice job boys given the circumstances of 7 types of hardscape. No pressure either eh! with the Tropica crew looking on. Well done.

Coincide the trip with the ADA International layout competition results party, usually held mid September, and then you could have a pretty amazing trip on your hands. I would be up for it but not until 2009.

What a great looking bunch of people!!! :lol: :mrgreen: Thanks for posting the photos George 8)

Just send George and Dan around to do the demo instead, probably just as good!!

I'd be pretty certain the cash register will be kept quite busy with UKAPS members buying some of the quality goods on offer from Green machine on the day. For some people FE's are very hard to get hold of without a huge amount of hassle, probably one of the hardest things to acquire for some...

Well I have been checking this out with a view to coming over to meet you all because it sounds like it will be a great day, but, its working out pretty expensive. I thought the ferry would be a lot cheaper this time of year, but its working out at nearly €200 to bring me over with a car for...

Hi Liz welcome along, great to have new members joining up because of the stand at the show :D

Great pictures jimbooo wasn't expecting this at all. Brilliant job guys Im amazed, the stand looks, well, outstanding, Im seriously impressed, total quality. Great job on the tank as well boys thats a great layout right there. Is the other tank in the corner scaped today sunday sometime?

Wish I was going now, ow well, good work on the stand, don't forget the cameras everyone :)

I dont think there is a seperate website Sam with information AFAIK its organised by FBAS. http://www.fbas.co.uk/Hayling%20update.html

Here we go, this is from Hayling 2006 Pictures courtesy of Nessa of ITFS, thanks Nessa :D I bet people will do stuff like this I told them on our club forum that I thought they were naf (the above)and posted a link to FAAQ's picture of the underwater tree scape and then they all...

I will post up some pics later on that were posted on our club website, you guys might be surprised at what people will do for an event like that. They have this competition each year at Hayling where people make "Themed" tanks (think finger down throat......ugh!!!) personally I dont like them...

My local club here (Irish Tropical Fish Society) is making a trip over for that weekend, not sure if I will go though, these guys are hard core fish folks and would have no problem walking around for 3 days admiring the fish, not sure I would be so keen, need to make my mind up quickly deposits...
