As much with all the aquascaping contests starting and ending, I would like to share with you the winners of the 2010 Hungarian Aquascaping Contest. Although I have not highlighted winners of aquascaping contests in the past, I feel that it is important now to share the works of winning aquascapes. These winning aquascapes can inspire us to create great works of our own and push beyond our own limits in the aquascaping world. With that being said, here are the top 3 aquascapes that ranked above the rest.
