I think it's a great idea James just two suggestions:
1. Since the AGA and the APD are international it would be great to include everyone who wishes to participate and/or collaborate
2. For the education of everyone it would be useful to publish all the submissions and a little description and plan of the aquarium layout and plants contained
If there is something I could help count me in.
