Hey guys, I though I would share some photos taken at AGP's free Pre X-mas event which included an awesome social day, great food, drinks, massive aquascaping competition and world class aquascaping demonstration by Australian Aquascaping Champ Micheal.N. The aquascaping competition saw 16 contestants face off one another in a 30 minute battle to achieve artistic perfection with their iwagumi rock layout. I think both Mike, myself and the other contestants had a blast creating our layouts. 

 

 

Getting some inspiration before the competition started:

The aquascaping "dojo", contestants had the choice between classic iwagumi rock or the golden pagoda

Next up was the demonstration by Australian Aquascaping Champ Micheal.N, showing us how it's done.

Put the theory into practice:

And the winner is:

A worthy winner. Bruce's scape looked even better in person.

Everyone was a winner, all the contestants got to take home there creation and watch it grow and fill out.

A missive :ThanxSmiley:  to the AGP team for putting on such a great event.

For those who missed out, don't worry, AGP generally have events throughout the year. I would highly recommend everyone get down and enjoy a great day.

Was a great day. What a store guys. if you have never been there go visit. You'll be in awe. The tanks, clinical serene environment, coral frags, fish and couches with magazines. So many cool and inspirational tank set ups.

 

Graeme has a great staff crew there. These guys really know there stuff and are super friendly.

 

Just in the demo and 30 mins of competition I fell in love with the idea of Iwagumi aquascaping. So soothing and fun.

 

Thanks to Michael Nguyen for epic display and the inspiration. This guy was extremely encouraging and willing to share all his knowledge. A true master.

 

It was a hot day but it looked like everyone enjoyed it. 

 

Got to keep the tank and all the ADA contents. A free set up and a ton of new knowledge. Thanks to Aquarium Gallery Perth and ADA.

 

Aquarium Gallery Perth...  Worth a visit any day guys!
