Foxjxa Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 I haven't been able to find a picture that accurately describes my dream tank, but I imagine it would look something like this: http://perthaquariumpublic.powercreations.com.au/images/perthaquarium-127--eisee.jpg Except it would be a heavily planted African type tank with bichirs, leaf fish, elephant noses, etc and it would ideally a room-divider, not just stuck in the wall. Then, I saw this: http://www.newhouseofart.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/unique-aquarium-living-room-table-476x400.jpg I think if it was at eye-height level instead, it'd be neat to have a tank you walk all the way around!

mcrudd Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Mine is so holy grail that I don't think it exists, cant find a pic of it, so just use your immagination. its a super duper long tank that serves as a divided wall, in it there is many different kinds of plecos, I just love any type of pleco. It will also have a beautiful big school of clown loaches in as well. That is all, I am not asking much am I :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aro Comm with high grade aros and monsters. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a256/dimfer/arowanas%202008/sep08_1921x.jpg posta pic of your dream tank setup Sorry henward, not that impressed! The aros are high grade but the owner didn't put any effort into the aesthetics of the tank.. :yaw1: Mine is still a nice big tank, one nice piece of driftwood in the middle, maybe a ray or two, one blue base xb gold aro with completely black background and black silica sand. Let the fish do the talking! :sage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My other fear with an aro comm tank would be feeding time, some will definitely lose out in the fight for food and there will be scales and blood everywhere lol..

disgustipated Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 if i had the money, actually... WHEN i have the money.. i would like to have several large fish tanks around my (large) house, and a monster one outside, which are all connected by water filled clear tubing (perspex? pvc? acrylic?) coming out of the tanks, up and along the ceiling, and through to the other tanks. different sized tubes could be used to restrict large fish to tanks reserved for small fish. pipes could be drained to clean, and suction could be used to refill. thus you would have fish swimming over your head all through the house. i wonder if they would follow you around while you're doing the housekeeping. imagine when it came time to find a particular fish.. you would have to search all your tanks and a maze of tubes to find it.. hmm... maybe that's not so much my holy grail, but more of a MFS victims wet dream... (no pun intended) haha at the end of the day, all i want is a fish tank that is big enough and set up well enough to make all my fish (and future fish) feel completely at home.

spoon Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 mine would be a 12ft reef tank 12x2x2 would do , in wall with a small room behind it to keep the sump and all the equipment everything would be computer controlled and it would be more about the equipment than the livestock as thats my main interest in fishkeeping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
