I haven't been back in the marine hobby for long, but I must say one thing that has utterly struck me is the lack of aquascape maturity and diversity in marine compared to the freshwater hobby. Most of the tanks I see are far closer to being eclectic color orgasms made by collectors than living eco-systems, if you can understand what I mean?
Don't get me wrong, there ARE plenty of fantastically scaped marine tanks out there! But few if any come anywhere even close to the top 100 IAPLC freshwater entries each year.
Why do you think that is? And is the hobby just too small for a globally recognised scaping society like IAPLC?
