The UKAPS massive, invade Holland! Vivarium 2011

Hi guys,

Vivarium 2011 was my first proper trip abroad and I must say it was awesome. Had a brilliant time and a great laugh. The hotel was 4* and very luxurious. Thanks to UKAPS for providing free transport :) Another big thank you to Dan for organising and to John for sharing the driving.

Come on guys get your pics up on here :) I will definitely be checking the back account to see if I can afford the Denmark trip!!!

Yeah!

I know it is a bit selfish, but I am dying to see how the UKAPS pico tank came out on camera.
Although the tank and hardscape materials are mine the scape was a huge team effort...

Hardscape layout - Gerard and Rik.
Plant choice and layout - Me :)
Planting - Paulo, Sam, Steve and I.
Tools - Ed (could not do it with my tweezers, your super fine ones came in real handy).
Plant suppliers - Marco and another Dutch hobbyist whose name I do not know (if you see this tell me who you are)

So a big thank you to everyone for helping me out :clap:

With special mentions to Marco for letting me have some of his sale stock of HC, and to Paulo for getting the HC planted so professionally :thumbup:
 
I didn't really manage to take many photos, but I got a few from the journey down in the mini bus and the evening socials. I think these three are my favourites:

Around the table, deep in conversation about aquascaping and other subjects:

Lars Green (MD of Tropica) sharing his thoughts, lots of cameras about!

Walking back from an italian bistro through a deserted shopping arcade:

A few more here :)
 
Those were my faves too (I also liked the one of me chatting to Janekka).
I love Lars' cheeky grin, and you've captured it perfectly :)
 
I'm gonna snap!!! Haha the suspense is to much, :D

Enough of the pictures of people and arty shots of the mall. I wanna see tanks dammit :D
 
Haha, it does look nice,

Naw I'm kidding all the arty shorts and stories are making for an interesting read. Where can I see your nano matt?
 
Here some of mine, thought I took more than I actually did, oh well, I know a lot of the guys took a lot more so hopefully they will share, Mark and John in particular ;)

Totally Amazing, sadly can only see a few pix as most of the hosting sites are blocked here.
