It has been a wonderful experience to judge this category. Huge tanks full of harmony and perfect details. My respects for all aquascapers for such a great effort. I have learned a lot from many of you during my judging.

I love big tanks and appreciate the different kind of challenge that they create compared to much smaller tanks. In these tanks the maintenance hardscape and plant material is so much more. It's physically harder to maintain the larger tanks. Even water changes take more time. Of course the possibilities the extra space afford are endless and the attention to detail much be that much greater as a small area can detract from an otherwise wonderful scape.

Bold and beautiful group of tanks as always in this largest category. Well done!
That said For those of you who find yourselves disqualified: You are wonderful artists or you would not be in competition for the top slots anyway. Do you really think that cloning tiny fish into the scene is going to make that much of a difference? If you can't win without cheating your tank is not ready. But I know many of you and I truly believe you can. PLEASE do not cheapen our beautiful art form!

This category separates boys from men! Here everything is in the superlative everything is very intense and audacious. Not only for its size but mainly for the great challenges. For me this category always surprises for the great discoveries that we make in every small detail that is lost in the immensity of these giants. Imposing hardcapes large volumes many plants ... an overdose of aquascaping. Make the most of it.
