Erik, et al Regarding "effort", I don't really think that the critics have any idea of just how MUCH work it is to put something like this together, and to pull it off successfully. I felt very guilty this year because my continuing health problems made be drop the ball and have to sit it out. I know that placed an even bigger burden on Erik and David Vanderwall. If it wasn't for the undoubtly massive effort on their part, this thing wouldn't still be viable. I also fear that the continuing niggling might cause Erik to just tire of it all and scrap the whole thing as not worth the headache. But for all that - seeing the quality of the aquascapes which were entered this year is very nice. It was also very nice to see where some of the entries came from. Regional differences in approach are visible and I think that the display of so many tanks helps everyone by providing examples to emulate.
