We were honored to bring in our friend and professional aquascaper, Hiep Hong, for a talk and aquascaping demo here at our shop. Hiep has ranked very high in ADA's IAPLC for a number of years and became the highest ranking American, hitting the top 10 and landing at spot number 4 during the 2018 contest.

We had the pleasure of meeting Hiep during the Nature Aquarium Party in Niigata, Japan last October and have seen him at a number of other aquatic and aquascape related shows and events this year. Though Hiep has ranked well in many aquascape contests these last few years, he continues to be very down to earth and is very humble. It's a blessing to have such an outstanding hobbyist who passionately shares the love for this planted tank art-form and continues to inspire many other aspiring aquascapers to push out their creative side. 

Here are some pictures from yesterday's super fun and interactive talk and demo.
