Maybe you have just given us the "out" that we need, Roger.

This event is described and intended as an Aquascaping Showcase and
Competition. There are TWO aspects to it. We _could_ leave the Showcase
portion open to include all types of displays (Rift Lake Cichlid rockscapes,
those containing some or consisting entirely of artifical materials,
paludariums, brackish tanks, etc.) but limit the Competition to those which
were composed exclusively of natural materials (rock, gravel and /or sand,
cork, bamboo, driftwood, etc.) and living aquatic plants.

Does that make sense to anyone? Is it workable, likely to get past the AGA
MC?
