    These are the entries in the 2017 Aquatic Experience Nano Aquascaping Competition.
    This tank is no longer in production. Below are two aquariums with a similar style and size. I have never used these aquariums, but because people are so interested in this tank, this is the best I can do to send folks in the right direction. Please do your own research:
    CAD 8 Gallon Mini Series: amzn.to/2DHP2rz
    Marineland 5 Gallon: amzn.to/2DWXPtj
    If one of these tanks is yours, I'd love to hear from you! Unfortunately two of the tanks didn't make it into this video-they were still setting up when I was filming and I ended up forgetting to loop back around. Sorry two to two aquascapers that were left out!

      I agree, that's my favorite. It had a pleasing layout, dynamic colors, soft contrast, and a clean appeal. So many of the tanks had overburdened designs and sharp dark areas that fell flat.

      Don't Hope to be "that" good, be "your" good or better. These aquascapes are an expression of the creator. If you feel "stuck" or "in need" of inspiration; go into nature settings to help inspire. I'm saying be you, for that's all that matters and makes it matter. Be well.

    I really like the sense of depth created by Danny Adams in the first tank... the corridor from front to back of the tank, amidst upright boughs of driftwood creating a strong vertical sense. Also Nam Nguyen's scape leaves a lot of bottom space, if you want to show off Corydoras, loach, or other bottom dwellers.

    • @yourlocaltoad5102
      @yourlocaltoad5102 6 років тому

      Similar style tanks would be the NanoCube by Dennerle or the ScapersTank also by Dennerle.
      I don’t know if their US-product line also goes by these names, so maybe check on their website, but these tanks have the same rimless design with the rounded off edges on the front.
      Really nice for aquascapes or just decorative display tanks.
