I think every one knows that I am an AGA member.<g> I don't think there would be any objection among AGA MC members to include separate categories for tanks with artificial elements or for tanks without plants. I'm not sure what the reaction would be if all these were lumped together. My PERSONAL opinion is that the judging (if done by people who are aquarists) will sort this stuff out for us. I don't really care how it's decided, as long as a decision is made. Of course, if you have non-aquarist judges, specific guidelines become _much_ more important.
