Roger,

I think what you have written is good if we accept Erik's statement (and we
should):
>I think the folks that created the contest disagree here.  The primary
>purpose of ALL the categories is aquascaping.

Also your "Biotope Aquascape" name would be appropriate.

I am  just wondering where Jeff Senske's 2002 and 2003 biotope entries would
fit in.  They had no real documentation, but are considered great
aquascapes.  I  would think your biotope requirements if applied now would
lessen their score.  I guess in that case this type of tank would do better
in an "Aquatic Garden" category.  I certainly don't want to do harm to
entries of this caliber.

I am now wondering if everything should left alone, as is.  As long as I now
realize that biotopes will be considered as aquascapes, clears up the lack
of understanding that I had.  And I seem to have been the only one with that
problem.  I have no problem with the concept of showing the non-aquascaping
part of this kind of biotope work in magazine and Internet articles, as
someone suggested is more appropriate.   So maybe its really not broke, and
we shouldn't fix it.
