Aquascaping The Art of the Planted Aquarium 2012, part 1

The Art of the Planted Aquarium is a live aquascaping contest, held every year during Heimtiermesse in Hanover, Germany. In the first part of my report I present first 5 aquariums of the XL category (dimensions 100x50x50cm). There are no fish in the contest tanks only aquarium plants, driftwood and stones. This is done on purpose, as fish would distract the viewers from admiring the aquascapes. Check my website:
