Single or limited species displays? What do you think? (photos)

[Ernie Mccracken]

Most reefers are more into the Noah's Ark approach and maximize diversity as much as possible, but a few are really into one species or one type of coral.

Would you ever do an aquascape like one of these?

Come back!

Ok this one is cheating a little, but still..

I think if I had multiple tanks, then yes, definitely!

I love looking at those tanks and admire them. I know myself well enough to know that I would not be content with that much limitation however.

I'm fond of species specific tanks.

If I ever get new tanks to add to my collection, I would have each one of them a different scape.

I go that route with planted tanks all the time (one or two species of plants).....not sure if I would be able to to with reef tanks though. I do think a 100% monti tank would look cool.

I do this myself... I have a nano anemone only tank and a nano mushroom tank (specifically discosoma/Jawbreakers), and I'm getting ready to do a nano acro (smoothies only) tank.

Nano tanks make it much easier to stick to one "theme". There just isn't enough room to go too crazy adding all sorts of stuff.

My larger tank is going to be an "LPS tank" with all different varieties of LPS, though.

Mine is similar to eco reef one. But following a similar setup to jake adams setup. Elegance currently. Waiting on a red/pink gonni and may add a few more. Such as torch or long tentacle plate, or other. But dont want to go over 5. Want room to grow. Moved coral to left side now.
