Amazing, some of the top aquascapers up there again Fukada, Josh Sim. Like Fukadas this year as much as his previous winners.Seems the USA have done well
Hi all,
The moss looks like a Fissidens sp. you have plenty to choose from. The fern that looks a bit like Java Fern, may well be a Microsorum sp. the shed conifer foliage below it is from Cryptomeria japonica.
cheers Darrel
That one is Clerodendron trichotomum.

Awesome pics Marc. I am sure will be a great experience!! Enjoy your time!
Don't need to be unique. Just copy Amano and take the grand prize
. I really like the scape of the grand prize personally even better than Amanos version. But for me is not the real grand prize. I wonder if this was done just to boost the wallet of ADA.

This is ridiculous...the ada screen light sticker is missing!
This years layouts from distributers and special guests at the gallery.
Fun fact: The ADA maintenance staff sends pictures and updates of the tanks to the creators weekly, and asks how to trim or if they want to make changes to the planting.

Great thread!
Very nice pictures, what a thrill to be there!
Enjoy.
Thanks for sharing! (However, you could have provided some towels. Not even a fair warning in the opening post... So loads of keyboards and smart phones were (unnecessarily) drool-damaged i reckon...
)
Fun fact 2: It seems to me that the creator of the second tank asked the staff for a carpet of Utricularia graminifolia!?!
(at least if i identified the foreground plant correct?)
Anyway that's probably the easiest way to successfully growing UG:
Make a beautiful scape, fill it with UG and let the ADA guys grow it into a lush and green UG carpet for you!!
@Shinobi : Do you happen to know which kind of stone they used in that first scape?
Very nice pictures, what a thrill to be there!
Enjoy.

Yeah the Nature Aquarium Party has really been an incredible experience. It’s hard to describe with words how amazing the whole experience and all the people you meet have been - I definitely recommend it to anyone who has just the slightest interest in this hobby.
The ADA staff and their maintenance is mind blowing, 50 tanks and no matter how close you look with your own eyes, not a tiny bit of algae to be found anywhere!
The creators did the initial planting themselves, however there were three ADA guys prepping the plants.
The rock in the first picture is the original ADA Manten stone, and this is by far the nicest rock I’ve seen in person. The colors range from brown, to purple or red and has an really interesting texture - it’s really nice and EXPENSIVE!
UG was used in the second picture by André Longarco from Brazil
Incredible!
None of the three tanks above seem to have a visible dropchecker. I checked all pictured tanks on previous first page and could only spot one.
Made me wonder:
Did they remove them because of the ongoing festivities?
Are they very well hidden (possibly hangon type)?
Or maybe they don't use them at all?
Do they use digital controllers for regulating co2 or solenoids?
Levels of 20ppm or 30ppm?
You didn't happen to see the inside of one of those cabinets, did you?
The light units. I do believe see a pattern regarding brand and type choice...
Wow! Light pleasure overload!!!!
Rather impressive, dang....
Anyhow, the units all seem to be hanging at more or less the same height. Is that something like 30cm above tank (or 40cm?) average you think?
I have to stop now before i really get started so just one more question before i regain selfcontrol:
Reckon every one of them tanks has an ADA stainless steel filter underneath as well??? Oooh, the joy...
Thanks! I suspected that but those really are amazing stones, even on picture!
Pure and raw poetry!!
Must be a dream to have them at your disposal!
I'd manage the planting if they'd take care of the growing-in part! Anytime!!!
It's a good way to test their skills anyway, nice move André!
Cheers

Looks like you had a nice experience there, did you ever get time to go hunting for Hakkai stones? As I understand it they can be found not only in nature, but for the lazy person that are also to be found in 'garden centers', although not easy to find in nature nor in shops.

Very jealous of all this... thank you so much for sharing. I won't comment on the aquariums as they are clearly the best you could hope to see... that pond though deserves it's own mention... so natural looking!
well done guys
Well...if they blow
Btw Well do a update on this thread during the weekend, have had a lot to look after, after I got home
