As part of our fish geek weekend, Sev and I also attended the AGA and had a blast. I got to shake Mr. Amano's hand and we listened to a lecture on the Nature Aquarium (translated), I got to ask a question personally, and then at the end of the day we watched him and his assitants set up an incredible planted ADA tank!

Wow. I wanted to go to this but was not able. Thanks for sharing....
Looks like it was a really great event. That tank is amazing. It would take me years (Or never!) to make a tank look like that! (yea, probably never!)
 
I really enjoyed the whole day, but the Nature Aquarium demo was really the highlight for me. :) It's one thing to check out the Nature Aquarium World books (which I've done extensively, lol), but quite another to see the techniques shared in person. Amano's tank, of course, turned out amazing, and I'm really stoked to have witnessed it! What a learning experience! :D

And BTW, for anyone who's curious, the light he has suspended above the tank is a MH/PC combo. I'm not sure of the wattage, but we did get to check it out before the demo. The whole setup, complete with Amano's aquascape, was auctioned off yesterday.
 
I don't know how to properly express my jealousy. I wanted to go and meet him soo badly. Thanks for sharing photos
 
Your so lucky niby,meeting him is Amazing,but setting up a planted tank with him,OMG!You sure did had a great time.Next time call me,so i can come.Need to take some notes on his scaping.
 
WOW , thanks for the pics, a good time was had by all ?
 
Wow, if I got to meet Takashi Amano in person, I would probably be so nervous that I would babble like an idiot for 10 seconds then blurt out, "You know there's a shrimp named after you?"
