Aquatic Plant Central - View Single Post - Announcing the 2009 Tank of the Year Contest!

The scoring item regarding equipment is to discourage people from leaving algae scrapers, easily-removed hardware, and other items that "clutter up" the aquascape. Items that are part of the actual aquarium and that can't be removed will not result in a score deduction in the cleanliness category. Keep in mind however that such items can impact the overall look of an aquascape (positively or negatively) and may affect the popular vote as well.
