The world's top 27 nature aquariums

I posted this link in another thread, but these tanks are too cool to languish in obscurity. So I will start a thread to get them some attention. These tanks are magnificent!

Holy rainforest batman!
Those are extremely nice.

Nice fresh tanks to bad they dont have any reefs

Dentoid · 10-24-2007, 12:49 PM

Absolutely stunning! They are so serene. I especially like "what the judges said" not only are they judges they are wordsmiths!

Thanks for sharing Reefjitsu!

I still think Steve and Teresa have the worlds best nature aquariums.

Those freshwater guys are always trying to do something to compensate for the lack of "coral beauty."
- Seriously though... Those are pretty freakin' cool! Now I have to get antoher tank.

To me, Reef tanks are all about the vibrant colors. Fresh waters are more subdued but have a more relaxing effect. I Like # 22 the best. Very nice RJ!

Nice! Wish I had the time and money to do that! Often thought about redoing my 29g but erred on the side of caution.

InLimbo87 · 10-25-2007, 08:46 PM

Wow! Those are absolutely beautiful... I love the mock tree. Stunning (for freshwater of course

)

reefjitsu · 10-25-2007, 08:48 PM

I still can't decide which I like best. I really like the concept of #10. I would love to see the reef version of that bonzai tree.

My favorites were #3 and #7.
If you didn't know better and there were no fish in them, you would think you were looking into a forrest. Very Cool!
