We should also point out – if you’re participating in the aquascaping contest, you get into the Aquatic Experience for free too! Winners of course get bragging rights for a year; nevermind the large pool of cash prizes! The main thing competitors must furnish themselves are the aquascaping materials (substrate, hardscape, plants etc), and a bit of creativity!
