I came across a collection of antique tanks once and thought it was fascinating. I'll try to find it again. Anything that relates to the history of our hobby is so interesting. If someone wrote a book about it, I'd read it.

But I second @cshuston, it's got a modern trim.

Fresh water tank with artificial jelly fish? The stand is very nice but the tank layout hurts my eyes. I can see a gold Severum which I have, but the gravel and colored plants, NO!
