Tin sa te corectez putin Emil. Acvariul de pe locul 3 ii apartine lui Branislav Mandici care este din Serbia si biotopul lui este sistemul de rauri, lacuri si cascade din Parcul National Plitvica Jezera din Croatia.
Si acum despre finala. Desi am iesit pe locul 11 in versiunea online a concursului am fost invitat la finala pentru ca cei mai bine clasati nu au putut sau nu au vrut sa participe la finala. Emil a fost pe locul 5, deci el a fost invitat pe bune
Am hotarat sa mergem. Stiam ca va fi o experienta placuta si asa a fost. Am fost extrem de aproape de locul 1. Am invatat lucruri noi si nu in ultimul rand am avut onoarea sa-l cunosc si sa vorbesc cu unicul Heiko Bleher.
In timpul celor 2 zile am intampinat niste probleme cu setupul meu si am fost pe punctul de a renunta, dar incet incet am reusit sa-l redresez.
Si in final cuvintele lui Heiko Bleher despre finala:
"At the AkTer-Fest 2014 I was also invited to judge their finals of the Biotope Aquarium Contest, and was amazed what these guys have done: The winner (with .05 points ahead of the second) did a 100% authentic biotope with the 100% correct plants and fish species; the second (with 0.5 points behind the first), did also a Mexican lake, Xiloa, again 99% correct (except the livebearer was a breeding form) copied not only the lake, but also should a video of the actual biotope under water with a 100% identical decoration. Congratulations to Romania. And the third did a 100% copy with the authentic endemic fish species from southern Croatian lake, only one single Microsorium, Java fern, was not correct in it … Congratulations to you all, fantastic authenic biotopes – that si how nature aquariums have to be done. Thanks to AkTer, thanks to the sponsors, thanks to my collegue judges, who agreed 100% with me."
