Hagen Trade Exhibition 2011

[George Farmer]

Between the 2nd and 5th of Sept Dan Crawford and I attended the Hagen Trade Exhibition 2011.

This year's mission for us for was to 'scape 12 aquariums - a mixture of Fluval Edge, Chi and Roma.

Not only did we have to 'scape them - we also had to set up the hardware and position them on their display stands. This included lifting lots of buckets of water up lots of stairs. It was great fun but hard work!

Substrate and decor was provided by Unipac, plants by Tropica.

Here's a few pics -

Ha! Im happy you've posted this as for my sins I have a Fluval Edge!

Mind you when I bought it I knew nothing of planted tanks etc and its been a struggle to make it look half decent! This may actually encourage me to post some pics of it!

Interesting to see what you achieved with those edge tanks, they cant have been easy to scape. Also must have taken you ages!

Very nice George, Fluval Chi 25 is my fav... really nice

Excellent as always!

I've always wondered how you'd go about planting anything in the Edge aquariums unless you have extremely bendy wrists.

Out of interest did the Roma have the pre-drilled inlet and outlet pipes?

Hi George,

Some great scapes. In the white, 46l edge in the first photo, what is the substrate used?
