Most of the plant after much trimming they get more bushy and short. HC need more light to creep lower i guess.

emm.but according some experience from other forumer.they can grown nicely with lower lighting than me. hem..

[ahhuyeo]

[JadeIceGreen]

No wonder you are the champion..

[JunBerG]

very nice scape and clear focal point. Did you submit it to the ADA competition?

Ok i saw your name in list, congratz

[Miron]

Cute scape, but i don´t think that this is the winner aqua, should be another tank by him.

I agree. But this tank shows his high standards.

[Shadow]

His rank is 131 on IAPLC 2008, of course high standard
This year probably enter top 100

[Miron]

Shadow I don´t know about his 131º iaplc tank , but i think that u will agree with me that IAPLC judgement it´s not the most coherent as u can see in these aquariuns bellow:

Tell me if u agree with the classification.I think that ahhuyeo could be muche better than some os these aquariuns and receive a bad jugdement , because of something that should´nt be so relevant, as happen with some os these aquarium.
So I don´t think that when u are bellow top 100 tells much, u can see that by the way they judge.It´s possible that a 37º IAPLC be an worse paisagist than the 97º, but because of the kind of aquarium that they do , the grades are so different, no human being is imparcial, every one has it´s preferences, i think that iwagumi have advantages above other kind of aquarium in the IAPLC contest.

I still find Iwagumi looses out to other scape during competition, everything is so simple, so clean and all faults appear in the eyes of the judges. I believe i've seen his No1 tank, based on his scape i dont find it to be ... but rather the tank is big, you can hardly see small tank get any high ranking unless is so well done in scape. Getting good ranking here may not be a ticket to high ranking in IAPLC, as what Miron said, it based on individual preferences. Well see for yourself whether it deserve this much.

[Shadow]

Unfortunately that is how ART is, no right or wrong and subjective to what Judge want to see. All photo on the link you posted are all great scape. I have not paying much attention on the point but the different probably because 1 or 2 judges don't like it and give low point which drag down the overall point.
