Hmmm. I guess that isn't quite what I anticipated. My initial comment yesterday was to the effect that the biotope category should be dropped. In the course of discussion I decided that amputation was perhaps a draconian measure. The category does appeal to people who may not otherwise be interested in the contest and it does give them an opportunity to compete. I thought the main problem was that the category needed a more substantial definition. Steve's suggestions actually would remove the category, but it would do so in a different way. The guidelines effectively turn the biotope/nature aquarium category into a separate contest; it would have different entrance requirements and a different scoring system. The overall emphasis is so different that it should probably even have different judges. I could come up with some specific comments, but I think it's more important to first ask; do we want to go that far?
