This might be a reason that entrants have been few --
nothte right way to go about comparing planted tanks.
Established tanks are best shown with photos, otherwise,
it's aquascape on the spot. I've seen someone do this but
I'm not sure it's something many will want to tackle --
bening able to make one look nice eventually is task
enough, much less doing it on the fly, so to speak.

I don't have a problem sending money TCA's way, or
participating in one of its events. But this class doesn't
quite sound like the right horse to bet on. It's one thing
to sponsor an event and another to sponsor one that sort of
flops.
