[@steaditex]

I think it would be really great to put each candidate's presentation in it's entirety on this channel! Would really love to see them! If you can't put them on in their entirety, then at least get the high points of each one.

[@brotherswatergardens]

This is so Awesome. I'm really excited to see the upcoming parts.

[@TEAMAquascape]

We can't wait!

[@rgilroy1909]

more.....please

[@deluxetransport3208]

Well, that's a " teaser" I can imagine how intense this could be for the guys and gals voting in the new artist of the year. Should have a new title. "Artist of the artists'

[@TEAMAquascape]

Every one is a true artist!

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

May the odds be ever in your favor…

[@Richardjaymz]

I dont know how there still in business the price they charge for a water feature ya could have a swimming pool put in lol

[@VPershing]

A swimming pool is nothing but a concrete hole in the ground filled with chemically treated water, which is unhealthy for you. Certified Aquascape Contractors are trained to create natural water features with natural filtration, which is very healthy for you. It's like comparing the City Pool to a mountain lake. Duh!

[@TEAMAquascape]

Prices range depending on the kind of pond or water feature you are looking for. We definitely build some extravagant and large features, but we also create many smaller and affordable features as well!

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

I guess you haven’t been paying attention

[@schalkengelbrecht3666]

You guys are awful 😂. Make me excited and then........to be continued 😅.
