    I saw these compiled onto a YoutTube vid. Lots of excellent 'scapes.

    They are absolutely gorgeous and most likely have been torn down already as these folks prepare for another competition. This I find sad since they can only be enjoyed in picture form.

    That style is called Nature or Amano aquariums. There are some more specialized style names but I am not up on them.

    There really cool. It's like it's not underwater.

    Wow, those are incredible! I can't get over the last comment though "the first 5 are truly amazing and inspiring!" I sort of want to slap that person on the back of the head. They are all really incredible and inspiring!

    That is one of the neat things with a well maintained planted tank, very clear water. Also many of the contestants are/become good photographers and use expensive cameras also.
