[knight]

Opps... I just discovered that our mailbox is full. I can only access and clear it from home. Please hold off registration until I announce that it has been cleared later this evening. Thanks.

Oh no, I just register.

Anyway please reserve a seat for me please.

Cheers

I'm really want to come but normally i'm not free on weekend. Wishing someone will post this event and step by step photos of the scape... So noobs like me can learn even if personally can't come down to the event.

[|squee|]

Yes, outing group must register if they want to attend the workshop. If they just want to come by and say hello, no need to register.

12 seats gone! Almost half...

[stardus00]

Bro, i have 2 questions
1. will there be hands-on or only theory lesson?
2. Can non-AQ members join too?

Warren,
I asked the same question yesterday and vinz replied me "Confirmation is via the thread. See the first post of Workshop thread for the participants list. You are in the list." I can see that you are not in the list yet, but vinz will add you soon.

No hands on.

Due to limited seats, we would like to limit the workshop to AQ members. If you must, we hope it is someone who is interested in planted tanks. Also you are limited to one guest only.

Maybe it would be more appropriate to call it "Aquascaping Workshop" than "Iwagumi Workshop". Iwagumi generally refer to stones scape. Anyway this is a good chance for those either new or pro to attend, lots of tips and creativity will be involve on creating a nice aquascape. Just sharing from my own experience, keep it simple, clean and neat.

Kudos to Biotope for promoting Aquascaping in Singapore.

=) I thought Iwagumi refers to "rock formation"? ^o^ Lets have Zhen Fan Ba Gua Zhen Fa...lol. (Positive and reverse order of Ba Gua formation, once used by China ancient battle tactican ZhuGe KongMing in Romance of 3 Kingdoms)
