Designing the tank

Oh the inspiration!!!

ive just found the works of Takashi Amano, he is a leading instructor in aquatic horticulture. His tanks are what you call works of arts! some people call it visual poetry, its amazingly peaceful to see.

Originally called Dutch Aquariums, the aim is to use a variety of plants to create depth and a lush environtment to lose ones mind in.

Brainstorming what i want to decorate the tank with...

  • Driftwood (big bits)
  • Rock cavern (medium)
  • Smaller Rocks
  • Plants (tall tall ones)
  • Plants (low light ones)
  • Gravel + Planting material
i'm totally against naked mermaids and rusty cars stuff. i think aquairiums should be designed to relax with not entertainment.

So with the help of photo shop and a photo of the tank from AquaOne's website ive set about designing the tank.

what do you think?
