Thanks BFG, Lowell, Justin and eddyq

Yes, Lowell, all entries will be published in the ADA Contest book, whether your tank is ranked no.1 or no. 1127. It is a nice feeling to see your tank in ADA book, regardless the result and also feel good to be in the same book with the top dogs

and thats the reason why we encourage more AQ members to participate. The result doesn't matter, just that we need some drive to keep this wonderful hobby going.

Hi Justin, glad to hear that you did better than last year and congrats to you too.

You anyhow do also so good

eddq, how's things going on? Kind of think of it, I don't know whether ADA had made a typo error.. but if is really "26", i am really lucky. Last year ADA only gave honour prize for no. 27 and below.

Last year AQ members were very hot on the ADA 2006 result and we should keep the tradition going. Where are all these folks:-

The day someone from singapore gets into top 10, we make a big party here

Maurice (zenscape) and others can start buying insurance to cover party costs in case they hit jackpot next time!

Thanks for the link, Robert. The folks from Creative Aquascape Union of HK scored big time this round:- Dave Chow Grand Prize, and Eric Cheng No. 8. Always admire their work and congrats to them.

As usual, entries from Japan and Taiwan flooded the scene.

Haha, I don't think i have anymore idea but surely my 4 feet tank has to be torn down and rescape. It has been 2 good years with the same layout (except for plants) and I really enjoy it

Perhaps we get ourselves inspired by the contest book due to be out in mid September 07 and then plan something new. The beauty in this hobby is that you can keep reinventing your style...

Yah, hope that we have a top winner among us one day. Party in Singapore is certainly more economical than flying to Tokyo.
