On this website the second article down has a picture of hanging aquariums and a link to the store with more pictures and where you can buy them for $5000!

They look super thin and I'd be constantly paranoid about it falling, not to mention me falling when doing maintenance on a step ladder lol. But still, if you had money to blow and stocked it with small fish and plants it would be pretty sweet.

they are pretty to look at, but would be an absolute bear to maintain. i would always be worried about a suspended tank crashing down.

those tanks are what inspired me to consider building a tall skinny tank in the space above a half wall in my living room. haven't built the tank, it's still a pipe dream, lol (landlord would have a hear attack, me thinks ;) )
 
Those are AWESOME! Although I agree, maintenance would be a pain and knowing my track record it would probably break/fall within weeks of getting it fully set up :headshake2:
 
Those are really awesome. If I lived there I could probably afford an aquarium maintenance service to keep them looking nice, too! Just sit back and enjoy. I can dream...
 
These have been aroun for a while now...
Thought they would be a little cheaper now, but it doesnt look like it.

Doesn't look like a place I'd want to live if I were a fish though.
 
Yeah, it's too narrow for most fish. That set-up would be an accident waiting to happen at my house, too.

They look cool, but what fish would be happy in an aquarium that narrow.

Small ones, microdevario kubotai (I think that's a Latin name that actually sounds cooler than the common neon yellow rasbora), ember tetras, chili rasboras, stuff like that.

After looking at the website, the picture doesn't do the tank justice for the width. They are apparently 12-14 inches, not too different from a 55 long, so there are more fish options than I originally thought. Although, suspended like that, maintenance would still be a bear.
 
Where the heck do you put the filtration while maintaining the cordless and plumbingless look of the aquarium?
