hi robert [shadow] job well done and congrats to your tank placing 2nd in the 120 - 200 ltrs group:113::yo: .....congrats to all participants and winners:rock:
There seem to be many error on the tank category. Example 1: Aquatic Garden, 120L ~ 200L 1st place: Entry #115: 180L Aquatic Garden: 万天 Firmament 2011 AGA Aquascaping Contest - Entry #115 Tank Size 100 x 100 x 40 cm (39 x 39 x 16 in) Volume 180L (48 gallons) Firstly, 100 x 100 x 40 cm volume should be 400 liters or 105.67 U.S. gallons Secondly this tankl also rank #14 IAPLC 2011 (exact photo) and the tank size is 120x55x50 cm which is 330 liters or 87.177 U.S. gallons. It should not be in 120L ~ 200L category. Either the submitter cheat on the tank size entry or something wrong with AGA category system. Example 2: Aquatic Garden, 60L ~ 120L Entry #124: 100L Aquatic Garden: Lake Breeze 2011 AGA Aquascaping Contest - Entry #124 Tank Size: 100 x 45 x 35 cm Volume: 100L (26 gallons) The volume should be 157.5 liters instead of 100L. It should no be in 60L ~120L category Example 3: Aquatic Garden, 60L ~ 120L Entry #79: 65L Aquatic Garden: Shiratani Ravine http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org/2011/show79.html Tank Size: 70 x 70 x 35 cm Volume: 65L (17 gallons) The volume should be 171 liters instead of 65L. It should no be in 60L ~120L category This tank also rank #29 IAPLC 2011, the tank size writen was 70 x 40 x 35 cm which is 98L that mean in correct category There are probably other mistake.
What a mess, Hope they will sort this out and do it better next year!!! (Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk)
I do forgive them for it, must not been easy to make the competition happen. I hope that the display errors had not had an effect on voting. It would not be fair to the contestants. .
2 of the 3 errors Shadow pointed out won first place in their category. I really hope this gets some type of clarification in the long run, like you said it would not be fair too contestants. I would love too browse the rest of the contestants but it is taking forever for things too load the traffic must be really high.
why Wow,it do beautiful I really into it would you tell me how to let them grow more smoothly? I have a tank which full of aquatic. but i don't know how to let them growth well?
Also winner of nano has some problem with tank size (should be 40L, not less than 28L). Congratulation to all. Many fantastic scape, but shame than we watch again so many tanks from other competitions. Winner (Best of all) - for me it's best of all this year, not only this competition.
