What should our display tank be?

[Ryan@ShelteredReef]

While top down views are great for photographs, they just don't give the same effect as a normal full frontal tank view. This is why, we've decided its time to setup a little display to give our eyes a break from the computer screens as we maintain our website. We currently have three different tanks at our disposal and we couldn't agree on what we should do with our limited space. We figured we would leave it up to you guys! Vote on which tank we should use and what type of setup we should do.

Just mentioning a mantis shrimp tank. A great desktop tank cause they will be very interactive with you

Seconded either a mantis tank or a red angler fish with some corals

Thats the one that I'm pushing for as well haha. I love the unique perspective aquascapes that come with freshwater planted tanks, and to be able to replicate that in a saltwater tank would be unreal. There are so many species of macro algae that we just don't see in many tanks...not yet anyway haha.

A single species biome would be spectacular! A younger mantis in the edge where you can get a top down view would really be awesome.

This was my Fluval edge that I brought to and from school for every break in the semester back in college...shot on an iPhone 5...I did my best haha

People are really pushing for a 75 gallon SPS tank! I guess bigger is always better!

 

[Ryan@ShelteredReef]

Really looking forward to getting a build thread going. This will be a DIY heavy build.

 

[Ryan@ShelteredReef]

Well suffice it to say the overwhelming majority of those that voted are in favor of a 75 gallon SPS dominated display! While this isn't a exactly a unique tank, I will be attempting to implement some unique aspects in its design. Stay tuned for a build thread!
