"Will the AGA Sponsor a General Aquascape Showcase?"

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

James asked me this privately in e-mail earlier, and I've told him my
opinion.  Since others are now asking the same question, I'll post it here
too.

I think "the AGA" will probably support the proposal without requiring the
aquascape to be planted for the same reason many of us are: complicated to
force, probably not necessary because most of the entries will be planted
tanks anyway. In fact, I'd say they'll probably need a lot less convincing
than we have.  If we pull this off well, it will be the coolest thing to
happen to the AGA since it started.

Moving to a slightly different topic, I disagree with the posters who've
worry that aquascaping has nothing to do with AGA's purpose:  I consider
'scaping part of gardening, aquatic or otherwise.  Come on, the last few
TAG's have even featured recipes for cooking aquatic plants!

If you guys like, I could run up ahead on the trail for ya, and ask Master
Control (cute, George) if they think aquascaping is something the AGA is
supposed to consider on their scope.
