I'm setting up a tank. It's a big deal tank to me & I'm trying to figure out the design direction to take it. It's a 65 gallon, starting with plants, a blood red parrot & a pleco.
Please share with me the following: your favorite tank on the internet.
Since this is to help me out, I have some rules...
Just one tank
freshwater
tropical
approaching 100 gallons
drift/bog-wood a plus
not your own tank
not a biotope unless it's Amazon
just a discreet link (can we post photos on this forum? I don't know how that works).
The coolest single thing you've seen recently on merits of layout, design, fish choice, sucess.

Here's a starter, something that wowed me:

im just waiting for someone to post the amano tank. the one everyone wishes they had.
 
Nice tank but........Where's the fish ??

Also, I think I would put some large potted plants around that tank or paint the wall or something. It seems a shame to have it sitting in such a drab ugly setting...

Alright, that's swell. Maybe we can start a different thread about everyone here that would like to own the Amano tank. lol. In the meantime; maybe we can read the first post to contribute.

Emg: wow, I soooo don't agree with you. (oh shoot, I just broke my own rule)

I see this great trend on this forum where you can be rude as you want to be but follow it with a "lol".
 
Actually in the lower left hand corner, I see a bunch of angels. I also see some congo tetra's. It's kinda like a "wheres waldo?" of fish though. It's absolutly incredible. Though im sure it cost more then I make in a year.....how sad is that?
:sad: That is not a tank though that is a small ecosystem. :joke:
 
have you been to mongabay.com that site has a lot of pictures and ideas. i know a couple of people with nice tanks but theyirs is a lot bigger. you want natural looking or anything? and what kinda setup are you most interested in, rocky, caves, river, planted?
 
I have aready posted this on the site that the photo came from but here it is anyway.
The dimensions are 13.3' by 5' by 5'(4m by 1.5m by 1.5) with a custom under gravel heating system. The tanks steel frame is from Switzerland,the glass is from France, the silicon is from belgium and it was assembled in Germany. It has sixteen 150w MH lamps for light and incorporates a injected Co2 system. The filtration has a combined weight of 3tons including media and water. The wood was improted from the amazon and the plants are all from singapore. It took 8 months to complete the the construction. This is one awsome tank and yes there are 1000's of fish in there including a shoal of wild amazon angels.

Sorry Chris...but I didn't read anything that said comments were not welcome :confused:
But I sure do appreciate the lack of rudeness in your responce ! ;)


So to keep in the spirit of this thread here's a link to a place with a gallery of some very nice planted settups...hope it helps with some ideas for you !

I like these two here as I prefer landscape type setups rather than just a tank filled up with a bunch plants. I also think a black background better shows off the colors of your plants and fish.
