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:
