Awards and Comments

Honorable Mention
This is a very nice aquascape -- one of several similar aquascapes that were very difficult to judge.
— Roger Miller
Flow from left to right slightly too firm otherwise scape very well done. Carefully plant some more C. balansae to the background and/or few
more E.tenellus just in front of Java moss.
— Detlef Hupfeld
