This is just a reminder that Aquatic Plant Central is still hosting the Iron Aquascaper Contest- a contest that pits aquascapers against one another in order to prove their prowess and skill.
The Details
Contestants will design an aquascape around the focus plant. This year's focus plant is Rotala rotundifolia (indica). Information on this plant can be found here (http://www.aquariumgarden.com/index.php?doc_base=plant_info.php&plantid=bp028). The best use of the focus plant wins.
Plants that are not Rotala rotundifolia can also be used in the aquascape design. The maximum number of plant species that can be used in the aquascape is unlimited, but the plant must use Rotala rotundifolia.
Other requirements:
Tank size:
-US entries: a standard 10 gallon aquarium (20"x10"x12")
-non-US entries: as close to 51cmx25.5x30.5 as possible
Closing date: December 1, 2004. We will be announcing the results on January 11, 2005
