Victim of Design

[kokon]

AquaScaping - beautiful and interesting work. However, there is a perception that it is very difficult, very expensive, very troublesome. We decided to destroy the stereotypes.

We present our project "Victim of Design".

"Victim of Design" – it’s a reality show. The idea is simple. We decided to collect 5 different teams and each team a few people. The task team - step by step through all stages of creating a natural aquarium. Team members were divided cities and even countries. To work remotely on a common goal, each in his role: "Sponsor" provide the necessary material base, "Designer" to create an image, "Editor" coordinated action team, hands of the "Victim" all this was embodied in the life - created Scaping.

Show lasted 5 months, and all of 5 months is a constant interactive exchange of information between the Participants and spectators. Each person could follow the process. Each could receive professional advice, which many newcomers have helped themselves to realize the aquarium masterpieces and join AquaScaping. We are pleased that we were able to attract many new fans in our ranks.

Show is coming to an end. Our task - to evaluate the efforts and their votes to support a particular team. And of course to determine the best work.

Nice beautiful scapes. Personally, I like "Sunny Reid" as it delivered what its name is trying to portray. "Spring Brook" and "Island of Turtles" give you a feeling that you have seen the same scape somewhere before.

"Island of turtles" , I must have seen this tank more times than others.

I voted Beautiful Dreams are far away, However, the Microsorum pteropus "Narrow leaf" looks like it dropped from the heaven I meant unnatural. But this is the best scape of the few.

[koolman]

Cheers

I'll try explain - "Sunny Seids"
Seid - Special places in the forest, a meadow in the mountains, a stone or group of stones are for ancient Slovenian tribes shrine his sacred idols, who were responsible for the safety of some side of life or the direction of the tribe - rain-idol, sun-idol, wind-idol ...
Our sacred stones on the middle of lawn at the edge of mountain forest - a place of worship the Sun for fishes.

I hope my explanation was helpful.
