Yo-han;84558 said:Never guessed you would pick that one Tom. Maximum points for creativity for sure! Still, have you even looked to the plants/fish, I bet you can't name 3 without looking again It feels more like art to me, but definitely attractive!
I hope not. This tank is just extreme nonsense in every way. What happened to the plants layout contest? Now is going to be impress me WOW layout contest.Tom Barr;84559 said:Does not matter, that one will win for no other reason than something new and the dramatic overall appearance. Also, those voting the final stage will have the same opinion that I do on this one.
I would be extremely surprised if it does not make the top 3. I thought someone had warped the picture till I had a good look at it, no hardscape has ever made me do that. Have you ever had a hardscape mess with your perspective like that one?
Yes, you can use points etc...........but no one will be talking about those and everyone will be about this one. It is the de facto winner either way.
Tom Barr;84549 said:7 and 21(bets use of Hygro pinn) stand out, 167 should win IMO.
116, 132 and 159 has very nice tree like effect.
167 is really the overall winner with little others coming close. Rock work is hardly natural.......but the effect is awesome.

jcgd;84562 said:While 167 looks kinda cool, in order to win, the scaper should have to catch one fish out of there, just one, without messing up the scape.
I like 69. You would be hard pressed to proved 140 of those tanks are actually tanks. What happened to them looking like aquariums? I get that it's about aqua scaping, but I'm starting to lose track of how it's relevant. Would many of these tanks looks identical in real life?
I did enter only one tank, but made few others for other guys and they enter those. So this year 3 of my works have entered and two made it in the first 200. Just like Victor Lantos of Micheal Wong. Plenty of other scapers make tanks for other people.Tom Barr;84571 said:I thought you are only allowed to enter one tank?
