Hi guys!
I thought this thread could be used for pictures from and discussion about the Aquarium Fair in Aarhus, which were held this weekend (22-23/10-2011).
I'll start with telling a little about my experience of the day (I was only there saturday).
The first lecture was held by the swedish aquarist Kjell Forhmann. It was about nano-aquarias and mainly aimed at beginners. Kjell is for sure a big name in the hobby, but I must admit that i found the lecture a bit boring, unfortunately.
Next lecture was held by Hans George Evers and was about sulawesi shrimps and there biotopes. I missed the first part of it, which I very much regret, because he was very enthusiastic and interesting to listen at. His descricption of the trips to sulawesi were really fascinating and the pictures of the nature (both under- and overwater) was great.
The lecture and workshop with Takashi Amano was of course the event I looked most forward to.
In the first part of the lecture, Mr. Amano showed us some of his pictures from South-America, Borneo and Japan (there might be more places which I've forgot). The next part of the lecture showed how these natural landscapes could be used as inspiration to aquascapes and the last part was about Amano's huge home aquarium.
The workshop was the setup of a 90x45x45 tank which were scaped into a ryuboku with sand in the foreground.
This was a very brief description, I'm sure someone else can describe it better. 🙂
I was great to see Amano in action, but unfortunately the interpretation was IMHO really bad. And it was nice to see that I ain't the only one having trouble with red moor wood (anybody who was there will now what i mean
).
Overall I had a great day, I hope you guys, who were there, feels the same way. And BTW, I was the nervous guy asking Amano what he thought about the danish nature, if you wonder who I am 😉
Now some pictures!
The tropica stand had a few nice layouts.
Tropica's aquacubes were sold very cheaply (200 DKK if I remember correctly).
Who needs HC when we have green gravel?
A rather nice nano.
Amano arrives. 😀
One of Tropicas workshops.
A nice picoreef.
720 l SA/CA tank
Malawi tank with BTN modules.
Can you guess what this is?
I wan't one of those!
One of the lucky winners of a T-shirt.
Finished!
