Aquascape: A piece of Living Art

Time's go by, the sixth anniversary of Creative Aquascape Union is coming; we intentionally to publish this hard cover book to all aquascape hobbyists. Mr. Takashi Amano comment with a high grading and write a foreword message in our book to encourage us.

 

Takashi Amano mention in Aquascape's Foreword

"… I can say the layout level of CAU members is one of the best in the world…. the layouts from Hong Kong CAU members have become indispensable for our Contest. Aquarium hobbyists in the world were amazed by glorious achievement of Hong Kong people… I think I can find the reasons of Hong Kong CAU members’ high layout levels in their eyes of seeing the Mother Nature, and their dedication to the planted aquarium hobby. Not only the layout techniques, they also made a diligent study of photographing aquarium layouts. Their sincere attitudes are clearly seen in each and every layout in this booklet"
