First hand photo of Aquarama 2011 and our tank competition setup pics

[skinbone]

the competition tanks looks great!

Most of them look like 'fruit stalls' to me . I think the focus is more on displaying coral harmony.

I was hoping someone to do a bonsai style.

I wonder if all the competition tank use the same water source. Maybe NSW from a LFS sponsor, or do each mix their own salt water?

Yes every one is using the same water source and if requested we are allow to make our salt mix too. But due to the time constraint , i dont think anyone want to do that .

I believe this is our first time that SRC has taken part in Aquarama marine tank competition, and whether or not if we win or lose is not really important to us. However we do learn alot from this experience and in fact seeing how much effort the LFS is putting into it , i feel this is more toward a competition between LFS rather than publics participation. Public participate like us lack the resources for selection of good quality livestocks as compare to a LFS.

However, giving our best effort to bring out the true beauty of a marine tank to the public and enjoy the fun of this process is what we hope for

Yes you are right, it was a little bit like "Rojak" display What we discovered is that there is no theme for the display required, and everyone seem to put in their "Gem" with various color which you will be expecting to see NPS corals mixing with SPS or LPS of various colors The judging is base upon overall coloration of the coral display rather than theme selection. Our concept for the tank is NPS since we feel this would be rather "New" and interesting which i bet no one had done this before in the tank competition, but seeing what the other did, we have to put in some "Rojak" as well to fill in the spaces.

Maybe the next 2013 aquarama there should be a theme.

Congrats to the top 3!

Let's not to forget Larry and his team for participating in the competition. Being hobbyists it is difficult to have sufficient resources, time, manpower and energy to compete in a competition filled with professionals.

See you guys soon.
