Create your own miniature marine marvel! Are you interested in keeping a Jar-tank reef?

Create your own miniature marine marvel! Are you interested in keeping a Jar-tank reef?

There are monster tanks, peninsula tanks, drop-off tanks, cube tanks, all-in-one tanks, nano tanks, pico tanks and several more variations of tanks. One type of tank that has been around for nearly as long as fish have been kept by fishkeepers is a jar tank. The interest and popularity of this type of set up has changed notably over time and recently this niche approach seems to have been growing. Although the exact definition of a jar aquarium may vary, the basics include a jar and aquarium life sustained over time. Are you interested in keeping a Jar-tank reef? Let us know your thoughts and, if you have tried a jar-tank reef, let us know about your experience in the related discussion!
