completely agree. As you can see, I didn't even remove my filter intake etc for the photo. Careless and lazy.Actually - the only hard part of entering competition like IAPLC - you have to fill in the form with lot of details about your tank, plants and livestock. Everything else is easy:
- Make a new layout once per year - not hard, doesn't it? - check
- Grow your plants - this is what we're all about, right? - check
- Put some fish or shrimps in there? - yep
- Take some pictures - anyway we want to share our belowed tanks with the whole internet, facebook, forums - you need some picture anyway. Well, you need something better than smartphone to point and click, but this is when your friends with proper camera will help! - check - and get some beer after - double check!
- Fill in the form, check it 10 times, and be brave to click "Send"
- Spend next 3 months waiting for letter from Japan.
- Done!
sound like a plan i might do next year see how its goes cheersThe whole point of my post is to encourage beginners to enter!
Hmm.. I did clean my glass just before the picture. Otherwise I get green dust and if I forget my phosphate, GSA. You can see some algae in this picture. I guess they mean they don't want tanks with prominent algae. Not sure what they mean exactly TBH.I looked up the requirements and it also says only scapes with no obvious vissible algae.. Is that on the plants only or total scape.. In my case i have in both of mine a little on the hardware and i kinda like it, it gives a sence of age to the tank and the shrimps love it. Does an entry realy needs to be spot on clean all over?? Do they have algaefobia??
