Ohhh... have you?
About 6 months to go before the next IAPLC submission dateline. Have you start your tank?
Ohhh... have you?
Not yet, my tank still dry
I'm curious, just show hand, how many people planning to participate next year IAPLC?
I've been thinking, shall we form up separate group in AQ which member focus mainly on aquascaping competitions?
Lets see the response
If there's ever such a group, I would love to be part of it. I want to learn more, but no there yet to join you guys for comp.
Interesting, I now in the midst of setting up my tanks. Hopefully, in good enough condition to enter the contest next year.

You have to jump to it , that is how you can accurately judge your work against others ;oops:.
My advice, don't be too eager to fill the tank with water. Set the hardscape, leave it dry for couple of day, during that time most likely you will make adjustment here and there which is easier while it dry. Only fill the water once you fell everything right.
My idea of group is to be private, not sure if AQ can accommodate private section, if not communication can be done via WhatApp group chat, I'm sure everyone have it by now . The reason is because I'm expecting the comment/critique to be honest and maybe a bit brutal , secondly you do not want your scape idea to be copied by others.
Yup, it will not be nice if your aquascape get copied. Closed group will be a good idea.
I left my 45cm tank dry for a week after the hard scape . Yesterday went to get more rocks, now it seems more complete.

i'm interested as well. always great to learn from one another, especially the process and how the tank grows together with the ideas of the aquascaper.
Knowledge needs to be shared and transferred, else it will be lost..
So far only TCY81 who have tank prepared for competition . If you need some advice you can pm me your tank pic, will if we can improve it from there. For 45cm tank, you need to design your scape such that it make your tank look bigger than it should be, that mean no big leaf plant.
Competition is not just creating beautiful scape, there are also background work like understanding Judges preference .
Urban Aquaria and Qngwn....I strongly encourage participating..... Seriously....

I'll definitely have a scape for submission, but currently busy with exams and my Final Year Project. I would not submit if the tank does not meet my expectations..
As much as scaping the tank is a focus when getting our tanks ready for competition, taking a good picture of it makes a whole lot of difference..
I need to learn to take proper pictures too..
I am quite sure there are many who are skilled in photography that will help you out.

Must ask the right person this time.. Many skilled ones, but skilled in different areas. Many tutorials available online to learn and try. Don't know if it's due to me using a point and shoot camera, or that I'm missing some tricks of the trade. Need a master to guide me on this..
That would be......Yours Truly, Simon !!!!! The guy chases BUTTERFLIES around and commando crawls up close and personal just to take the shot.....

You should just submit it regardless. It is part of the learning, ask yourself with this scape what rank will you get and compare with the final result later. You will learn how to judge scape, by knowing how to judge you will know what to avoid.
Photo-taking is not difficult, we can organize photo taking session when nearer to the date line.
got people help? try take for mine... too restricted space...
