Today an aquarium legend passed away. Takashi Amano created beatiful aquarium aquascapes that mimicked nature. I know some of you may or may not have heard him because he dealt with freshwater aquariums. The aquarium designs created by this man are just outstanding. He published books to show people how to create aquariums like this for themselves. I thought I would write a little something about him. He was 61.
