I suppose one of the reason why contest organizers don't have this category is because it's hard to enforce, and based on the honest individual.
Great looking tanks everyone. You've certainly proved the point that non CO2 and low tech tanks can exist and still have the same beauty as their high tech counterparts.
It amazes me that these tanks are so nice without the high doses of lights, ferts and CO2. We all recommend to new hobbyists - High light, Pressurized C02, and a Fertilizer regime when it's clear they don't need them to accomplish a nice scape.
Are non C02, low light tanks harder then the higher tech tanks to create?
I have a feeling the answer is no. Maybe more new hobbyists would feel less overwhelmed if we recommended low tech stuff more often then confusing and detering them with the high tech recommendations which often make the hobby more expensive.
