What a great year for the AGA International Aquascaping Contest! 2011 had a record number of entries, nearly doubling our previous best year. We had so many entries that we had to add extra categories, creating even more winners. As a bonus, the nano tanks got their own category this year which they surely deserve.

We also have a new award this year, the “Larry Lampert Most Innovative” award sponsored by Zoo Med Laboratories, Inc., to honor our recently departed friend and AGA President, Larry.

The 2011 Aquascaping Contest Results

More footage of my ADA 120-P that was taken on July 15th, 2011. I planted in a brand new foreground of MQ as you’ll see. Hope it does well.

“ADA 120-p “River Wild” July 2011″

Well, I just did not like the general feel of the ADA like minimalist display prior, so I tore the entire thing down.

Here, I wanted to add lots of color, contrast, display the nice Manzy wood I have, make it a lot of stem plant and pruning type of tank(yes, work), but somewhat manageable still.

I have enough plants to fill it, but I’ll remove some plants on the sides(Erios and Compact the Crypt parva down some, I have a few small divider pieces of Manzy wood I’ll add this week to make a better dividing line for some of the groups.

I’ll change the groups of plants around till I’m happy(often a long process), to achieve the best contrast based more on Dutch rules, rather than ADA aesthetics. Right now it’s fairly simple red green red green layout, and less textured contrast. Most of these species are easy to sell also, so they are good “crop plants”, 500 or more of the fire cherry shrimp makes it a good shrimp factory.

I have an ADA style tank and my 180 is somewhat loosely based on ADA style, A reef and a Rift cichlid tank. I want a nice style and method for each tank that is different, not all planted tanks with one style.

Tank is not that old after complete tear down, maybe 4 weeks or less.
