Aquascaping - The Art of the Planted Aquarium 2013 XL, pt.1

FACEBOOK:   / definiteaquascapetv   YOUTUBE:    / definiteaquascapetv   PAGE: http://definiteaquascape.tv The Art of the Planted Aquarium is a live aquascaping contest, organized every year during Heimtiermesse in Hannover, Germany. There are two categories of aquariums at the contest, XL aquariums (100x50x50 cm) and Nano (25x25x30 cm). In 2013 there were about 30 tanks on each category. In this video I show first five aquariums of the XL category. Aquariums were provided by Eheim, as well as aquarium lighting (T5 fluorescent tubes) and external aquarium canister filters. No CO2 systems were used during exhibition, but they were certainly used during pre-growing phase - most planted aquarium were set up long time in advance, before the contest. Tropical aquarium fish are absent in the aquariums, because they are forbidden by the rules of the contest.
