This is just a reminder that
Aquatic Plant Central is still hosting the
Iron Aquascaper Contest- a contest that pits aquascapers against one another in order to prove their prowess and skill.
The Details
Contestants will design an aquascape around the focus plant. This year's focus plant is
Rotala rotundifolia (indica). Information on this plant can be found
here. The best use of the focus plant wins.
Plants that are not Rotala rotundifolia can also be used in the aquascape design. The maximum number of plant species that can be used in the aquascape is unlimited, but the plant
must use Rotala rotundifolia.
