Oh yeah brill, we know which 2 of the 1000+ tanks didn't win Whilst I hope you enjoyed the judging I am guessing you are also glad it is over!

 

[Themuleous]

What hope did the rest of us stand?

 

[nry]

Yep, looking at the two shown non-winners my tanks were certainly not as good Next year eh!

 

[Underwurlde]

Yeah, I was gunna enter, but I thought a tank entitled 'Algae, algae. Everywhere' might not get very far so I didn't bother!

Did any forum members win?

Well, if it was algae you were going for, and it was growing in a nice way, who knows?

Looks like the standard was very high! Would be interested to know how you were marking them George, and how you managed to pick one over the other

Steve.

Well, I don't want to spoil any surprises, so I can't say if the winner is a forum member or not. You'll have to wait unti Oct 3rd for that...

The winners will also be covered in a News feature on the PFK website shortly afterwards.

Marking was split into five categories -

Overall appeal and aesthetics
Composition
Hardscape (if used)
Viability and sustainability
Creativity and innovation

There were literally a few marks seperating the top 3 entries in the 60cm and over category. It was a tough call indeed.

I did also give three entrants for each category a 'highly commended'. I can say many of them were forum regulars...

Roll on Oct 3rd eh!?

Cheers,
George

I really need to start buying PFK I've never seen it locally although the newsagents next door to my LFS apparently does according to a sign in the LFS. Makes it even easier to have an excuse to go to LFS

 

[George Farmer]

You can subscribe, that costs less if you want it every month.

Or get your local newsagent to get it in for you.

I shall keep my ear open for the mag dropping on my door mat at the beginning of Oct

 

[RadaR]

Oh you tease! I'm anxious to know!
Glad to here that the turn out has been good.

I think I know who might've won the junior category, (not me!), probably this guy from APC.

Can't wait for the results! We'll just have to wait!

I agree that his tank is superb. Just inspires me and influences me to do more and better

Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed he was 17, his tank would have done well in the other categories, it is a brilliant tank though.
