georgeous Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 that tank is massive. i only realised how big when the camera paned across. Anyone have a clue on the dimensions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinsonMassif Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 From what I have read (and seen an article about his tank) I believe Mr Amano is a scientist who writes in PFK magazine. If he is one in the same, he was the person who decribed the Amano Shrimp among other organisms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 ahhh...... its that tank. there are threads on here somewhere of him setting it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 It's Takashi Amano from Aqua Design Amano, probably the worlds leader in Nature Aquariums. Look up Aqua Design Amano or ADA on Google... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Wow!! Its cool seeing a massive tank like that being used to keep small fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hmmm... Well they certainly take their stuff seriously in Japan, a heap of guys with hi tech camera gear to study how the guy feeds his fish! :lol: But I will say, the Japanese national characteristic of really doing things properly does pay off with their marine fish tanks, Japanese reef tanks are in a class of their own, typically they are stunning to look at, everything in peak health, and soooo clean you cannot see a grain of sand in the wrong place.

Cheesejawa Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 awesome tank but seen before on another forum. Like how he taps the tank to signal feeding time to the fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Lit by natural sunlight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Doubt it, look at the 8 lights in the roof + probably another 8 behind the beam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I was thinking those lights could be funnelled sunlight? Or maybe I just can't see them right! Reason i was interested because I was thinking of supplying some funnelled sunlight to my own tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Difficult to tell. Watching the video doesn't help either as it's pretty light outside. If sunlight is used, the size of the collector would be huge though to get that much light. In the video you can see rectangular shaped light sources behind the beam - they're very bright...

supasi Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 I did have saved to favourites an article of the tank build including pictures, some of the guys had to go swimming to set up BUT (always a but!) i deleted it a few months ago and now i cant find it. I will keep searching and once found i will post a link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supasi Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 , , I found these pics but the article i had had it from scratch, building the tank etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Well that is pretty awesome! Is that a private house? The pic I like the best is the one with him leaning on the tank, it's great when the fish are in a big enough and natural enough environment to live as in nature.

VinsonMassif Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I found a couple of interesting links. This is a page showing his tank designs: http://www.hemmy.net/2007/08/06/aquariu ... shi-amano/ This is his aqua design site: http://www.adana.co.jp/index_e.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
