Materials The hardscape of the background is composed of volcanic lava, forming a shoreline on the right side. On the left side, a phyto filter with a phyto wall is installed on the back wall. Four water channels have been incorporated onto the hardscape's surface to maintain a high level of humidity. Three of them represent streams, while the fourth is designed as a waterfall. Unfortunately, the photo doesn't capture the water movement.

Dear judges and participants of the aquarium competition!
Let me introduce myself and tell you how I came to this hobby - my name is Andrei Polucci, I am 44 years old. I come from Chisinau, the capital of Moldova. My journey into the world of aquariums began at the age of 14 after a chance visit to a friend's house, where I saw an aquarium with original guppy fish. Their beauty and liveliness struck me, and I asked a friend to give me two of them. This moment marked the beginning of my passion for aquarium keeping.Therefore I'm here to share my passion for aquarium keeping and tell you about my incredible journey in this exciting hobby.My journey in aquarium farming began with a small three-liter jar and a single sprig of elodea. However, my passion for this hobby was so strong that I voraciously devoured literature, studied the theory and practice of aquarium care, and looked for new ways to make this world even more interesting.
Over time, my hobby became more serious, and today I have a total of five aquariums. Two of them are in the Dutch style with a variety of plants, one is an aquarium landscape and the other two are paludariums, one of which I would like to enter in this wonderful competition.
My main goal is to popularize aquarium hobby and attract new people to this fascinating world. This hobby brings joy, allows you to observe nature and delve into its amazing laws, and I hope that my story will inspire others and make the aquarium hobby more accessible to everyone.I would like to wish all participants in this competition excellent results and hope that each of you will find in aquarium keeping not only an exciting hobby, but also a source of inspiration and joy.
Sincerely,
Andrei Polucciu
