So....BEAUTIFUL! What's the most beautiful thing about your tank?

[revhtree]

It is said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and for most of us beauty is one of the main reasons that we have a saltwater reef aquarium!

What one reefer considers beautiful may not be what you consider beautiful nevertheless I believe most of us find beauty in our aquarium in some form or fashion. It's normally a fish or coral but it could also be things like our aquascape, equipment cabinet organization or a host of other things. Today let's talk about what you consider to be beautiful in your reef aquarium!

What's the most beautiful thing about your aquarium right now?

Nudibranch crawling on the coral reef in the Philippines

What's the most beautiful thing about your aquarium right now? That would have to be my Frogspawn coral

I think the overall design of my aquascape allows for the fish to thrive, the coral placement to be ideal, and the ability to retain a "natural" feel of a reef is the most beautiful part currently. Sure the corals look great and pop with the current lighting etc. But the feeling I get while staring at the tank, makes me so happy with the decisions I made while designing the scape!

The most beautiful is to have a piece of the ocean in your room and watch how it changes every day...

the most beautiful thing about my tank is someone bought it and will carry it away LOL bought a new house and will be buying a new tank

This is a tough one. I love that nothing in my tank is a small frag of something so it looks mature. I love my fish especially my new powder brown tang. But the thing I find most beautiful is the Triton ICP test I ran last week. Out of 36 parameters tested, only 3 were out of whack. Not gonna lie, pretty proud of myself for that. I thought when I read the report it would say in big bold letters "YOU SHOULD NEVER OWN AN AQUARIUM AGAIN!"

I checked other.

The "most beautiful thing" for ME is that I get to view, enjoy and relax viewing the brilliant colored fish and vibrant corals RIGHT in the comfort of my own home!

When i had my tank, i couldnt pick a specific fish or coral as the most beautiful, the most beautiful thing about my tank was the diversity of critters in my tank, be it loads of different worms, pods, things i didnt have a clue what they was, it was beautiful to see all this life in a rectangle glass box.

Definitely my Christmas Tree Rock, although a specific worm I think that stands out is this Bumblebee Pattern

I can’t decide so I’d have to say “all of it”!
I have very few frags in my tank. I like to start out with established colonies to give me the “mature” look sooner.
Im also a little OCD so I like to see wiring that is made into harnesses and labeled.
If given no choice but to pick, I’d probably have to say my Frogspawn and Elegance are the real eye catchers.
Only 3 fish, a pair of Snowflake Clowns and a Diamond Goby. All 3 are beautiful to me.

The most beautiful thing to me is the reflection of my girl in the glass. Sure, I can see her anywhere/anytime I want. The reason I love it in the glass is because of all the quality time we spend together with the tank.

one of the gardens.

Couldn’t choose just one but they are both gorgeous to me. Pics take. On iPhone11 no filters

The most beautiful part is the nano critters and hitchhikers that are starting to pop up. It's really a treat to see a new environment go from sterile to a little ecosystem.

It's the life in the box.

My tank(s) have gone through ups and downs for the last 20+ years. I still have some life alive in my tank from when I started, a piece of FijI, a piece of Bahama I collected dry in the 1980's and now is coralline covered. The corals that hang on even though I did something wrong, the corals that thrive even though I did something wrong, my 15 year old clowns that spawn frequently, the sponges, forams, brittle stars and other macro life.
