Sian, can't make it for this weekend. damn...
All the best to those taking part.
Good luck to all taking part! Looking forward to seeing your creation on Thursday!
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?
All the best to Shadow, William, Roger and his friend. I must say I feel good seeing their tanks. Shadow & William appear the strongest challenger to Colourful Aquarium. They've got some really expensive plants.

plants wise can't win again Colorful. Richard have plenty of plant to choose from in his shop . All of us are in disadvantage on that manner
Anyway it has been fun and tiring event. Especially 1st day when we have to carry don't know how many Kg of rocks and more than 60Kg of lapis sand without trolley . OK trolley part is our fault . There is no air conditioner in the hall and it is so hot like in sauna room. Lucky second days was raining
In my personal opinion, the organizer is screw up. Was written in the entry form that tank size is 100x50x50cm and T5 lighting but when we came there the tank size is 88x45x61cm with only 2x36W PL light. Why bother giving us CO2 set if the plan is for low tech tank? The filter flow also too low 500 l/h, my 2ft tank have stronger flow . There is no timer on the light and the organizer does not bother to turn it off at night . Lastly no solenoid on CO2 set. Hopefully my fauna not die from too much CO2
good luck guys. hope to see your tank win when at the show ..
News flash!

congrats to the winners!
Wow! News spread so fast..
Tank 7 and 6 are from AQ. Tank 2 is Richard from Colorful.
For Robert and myself, our plants are not really expensive other than the bolbitis. LOL. We tore and bring all the useable plants from our IAPLC 09 tank. Then order some hardy plants from Biotope aquarium.
Richard plants are unlimited. He got lots of ferns tied on driftwood, bolbitis, moss and others.
We use a lot of sand and hardscape so that we have lesser space for plants. Basically, this is really enjoyable despite it is so so tiring. We have to carry around 60-70kg of sand and stones without trolley [Error 1] . Next, the hot and stuffy room is making us sweat like mad. We forgot our ice-drinks too [Error 2] .
When we saw the tank, it is filled with 50% water . We spent some effort draining the water. After that, the taller tank than usual tank gave us problem and we have to add a lot of sand.
After that, we have problem with insufficient lightings . Even Richard is complaining. After I complain to the organiser, they agree to give us another 2 x 36W PL.
Overall, it is great as we can see and learn from one another. Great experience!

It was a wonderful experience indeed. haha. i was the last one to reach and see everyone almost completing and i must really give it to William and Robert's hard effort. never stop attitude in doing their tank..

Your iwagumi looks great! The tall tank screw your scape up..Hahaha! You remember the lady organiser we are always complaining to? She still remember us. Better watch out..Especially me [Complain too much]
Are you going to leave your gravel there? What about fish?
Regards
William
Congrats to both teams for landing the 1st and 3rd price!
Roger, if you are not going to keep the 3 bags of black dennerle gravel, you might want to arrange to give it away. I'm sure a lot of members will go and help you clear away. Livestock can ask to robert/william to help you clear out.
Cheers,
I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

lol.. the woman remembered us.. hehe.. all dimension wrong and given wrong equipment.. haiz.. if lower abit can look nicer.. i also cant get enough gravel by then. Thanks to benny, at least i still can get 3 packets. if not, 1 also dont have.. finally.. next time william, please call me. i can help you transport your stuffs and i got trolley also.. you dont get 1st sure waste effort but nevertheless, you got it! haha.
