Yes, Sinbad. We consider old tanks too. If you'd like to nominate some, feel free to use the link in my first post of this thread. I have never intended to rule out ANY tanks from possible inclusion. Small, large, medium... size is not an issue. Nor are most any other criteria.
And, as a counterpoint, should I only select OLD tanks? If so, I doubt I'd be able to find a Tank of the Month each month. Maybe every six months, if that was the criteria.

My jaw dropped at work when I saw this. Too bad the owner is not a regular here at RC. I have much to learn...

That tank could have been full of goldfish and I would still vote it tank of the month Who cares how old it is. Thats age discrimination. I bet that this tank will be even more unbelieveable in a few years. I mean common this guy changes his sand bed b/c he wants to keep it white. Its going to survive.

Wow wow wow. Truly an inspiration!
On another note, has anyone ever thought about taking all the "Tanks of the Month" and having all the members vote on a "Tank of the Year" in December? |

I thought water changes were burdensome, I can't even imagine the dedication to changing the sandbed regularly. What an amazing achievement !!! The schooling fish are incredible, as are the corals

I am at a total loss for words. Once you think you have seen it all. Not only do I love the tank, but the room as well. Overall a wonderful oasis you have created. Great craftsmanship.
Cheers,

Definitely my idol tank...I have been drooling over this system since I laid eyes on it, and I'm glad it's finally getting the recognition it more than deserves!

I too would love to see pics of the seahorse tank--I'm sure it's stunning as well.

Here's a pic of the seahorse-tank:
Apart from seahorses, there are also different gobies and pipefish in this tank. It is lit by T5 bulbs. |

I have seen this tank for real ones, you can stare at it for hours.
For the many who asked: It stands in a fireplace showroom |
