The results of the 2011 AGA aquascaping contest are out. Their website is a bit sticky at the moment, what with all the trffic it's receiving. I'm chuffed to bits as "A World Apart" received "most innovative" award :D . Cheers, James

Thank you Guys :D I set out the line with a piece of card then fill one side with sand and the other aquasoil. i usualy make sure the sand is slightly deeper so that when I remove the card the sand falls over the aquasoil and not vise versa. placing rocks along the line helps stop the...

Thanks for the kind compliments guys, they are much appreciated :D Cheers, James

Thanks Guys :D George - it was a bit of a surprise to finish ahead of Slobodan as I am a fan of his unique style. However, I should say that we both scored 455 points, so i'm not sure what settled the decision. Cheers, James

Re: A different Iwagumi! Stunning scape George, It's hard to believe that something so low maintenance can look so good. I'm sure i've seen those rocks before somewhere, and if i'm right they were adorned by plastic plants :D Cheers, James

Hi Nos The problem with broadleaf plants that large is, that unless you have a giant tank, the leaves do not have space to fall into a natural position, but instead rest against the side of the tank. This is not best for the health or appearance of the plant. That having said if you were to...

Hi Dave You've picked some nice stones there, if I may make a few suggestions. Perhaps try to seat the rocks deeper in the substrate, and try to Contour the substrate around the rocks in a natural manner, also If using piles of rocks try to match their strata and shapes so they appear as one...

Has anyone tried epoxy putty e.g. Milliput, I used to use it when I had a reef tank. It makes a much stronger bond betwwen rocks than silicon. Cheers James

I've just seen an example of some large rocks used in a 55cm cube, and I have to say it looks absolutley amazing. The scaper is Radek Baszak of Poland, he placed 61st with this scape at the IAPLC this year. Click on link for photo. http://www.aquatic-plants-studio.com/index_gallery.html Cheers...

A big well done to everyone. Particularly to Andrew and Peter, who if I understand correctly will make the ADA book this year. Also to George with a very respectable placement indeed. Not forgetting Aaron who beat Jason Baliban by 2 places, an amazing acheivement at 15 years old Cheers James

Congrats on the placement Aaron.
