Thank you for the information.
It helped in learning how the competition works.
If i read it correctly, for planted tank, you have to bring all your plants, substrate, decorative items and fauna to the site on Day 1 and Day 3 is the judging day.
Is that correct?
It's going to be very challenging, right?
Does that mean the competitor will usually setup the tank at home first, then decommissioned it and move everything to the competition and replicate the setup for judging?
Or would most people simply setup their tank at the site without initial start up from home?
That means the soil has to be seasoned instead of those that will produce ammonia (eg Amazonia)?
And i supposed this is different from the competition held in Japan, which do not require you to setup the tank at the site.
from 14L to 8L tank.
Yes, you are suppose to set on the site with your own material within specific time frame. As far as whether you practice fist at home or just come and scape is up to individual.
Japan competition, IAPLC, is more like scape photo contest.
I see. Thanks for sharing. Hats off to those who are contesting.
Personally I think it will be interesting to see any contestant with carpet grass.
Are you participating also?
This competition will end with a public admission, is it?
I am thinking of getting a ticket to admire the great works.
from 14L to 8L tank.
no plan of participating this year, too busy
Anyone here participating?
Can be in top 3 if you can scape decently but the work is a lot. However, I see marine tank competition fill up pretty fast. They are even tougher

If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
Most of them are, there are very or maybe only me last year on the 3ft category. On the nano category, there is quite a lot of hobbyist (non LFS). Which is understandable, imagine carrying 3ft worth of rocks, soil/gravel, wood, plants, fishes to the venue and then must dismantle and carry them back on the last day. It is very tough for non LFS and the prize does not justify. I experienced it for 3 years, and I don't drive, very though
nano is quite OK, just one big backpack is enough.
Our hobby (planted tank) is passion and hard work. And that's already an understatement

Hello, I share this very important information for us,
"Strategic Development Meeting: This in-depth session will discuss the IUCN’s FFSG/public aquaria initiative set up to explore ways in which both industries can help drive environmental and socio-economic benefits, e.g. by identifying and promoting opportunities for sustainable management of wild populations of aquarium fishes that support livelihoods for communities living in regions of biological importance, thus fostering a powerful drive for conservation of these species as well as the habitats where they are found – achieved via well-informed consumer choices within the home aquarium industry.

Aquarama Highlights
International Fish & Tank Competition - The highly contested International Fish Competition registration was so overwhelming that entries had to be turned away (With much regrets!) due to the tank and space constrains. Come and see these spectacular entries from all over the world, comprising of 14 fish and 2 tank categories and keep yourself updated with the latest and newest variety in the market!
Crystal Bee Shrimp Competition - This brand new competition is dedicated to the expanding range of species and varieties of colourful freshwater mini-shrimps that are currently available in the market. This event was conceived with the idea of organising an international competition for shrimp breeders and to present the hobby of keeping these freshwater invertebrates to those who are interested.
Public Aquaria, Trade & Public Seminars - These seminars will contain a variety of subjects related to the international ornamental aquatics industry and hobby communities. Talks are presented by experts from around the globe.
The show will also cover an extensive range of products and services including: Aquarium fish (freshwater and marine), invertebrates, aquatic plants, fish foods, aquarium & pond ornaments, water treatments, fertilisers, lighting and much more.
