Aquariums From Around The World

For this months aquarium I chose Thor's, (Crazy4Acros) 36x36x24 Rimless Starphire Bonsai Tree inspired aquarium.
I have been following this tank for over a year now and is a true inspiration on what is possible with aquascaping.

Ah ha! So you do venture outside the safety zone of the Sanctuary!

As I am about to rescape my tank I have been spending more time looking at Crazy4Acros scape for inspiration. It is quite awesome.

I love the bonsai theme to Thor's tank.
It give the whole tank a surreal look to it.
Very nice.
Great find Frankie

Julie and I have considered "that" theme heavily and I suspect it will come up in one of our future projects for sure. I'd LOVE to see you do something like that in your tank. Now would be the PERFECT time to recreate your own "Bonsai-ish" theme.
