Tank of the Month Forum

Hi! We would love to showcase someone whose tank is an inspiration for everyone. Please nominate someone by sending a private message to @Art. Thanks for helping to make our community an interesting and fun place to hang out in.

We are kicking of 2024 with a return of our Tank of the Month series! January 2024's Tank of the Month is @Unexpected's second-place finishing "The Second Hand of Carew", a beautiful Dutch aquascape! Please see the winning work at the AGA 2023 Aquascaping Contest - The Second Hand of Carew. Introduction My name is Michael Miller, and I was born in Lakeland, Florida. I guess this is where my aquarium journey began because I have memories of riding my bike down to our local ice-cream shop located in a small strip mall.

Introduction Hi my name is Hiep Hong (@Ultum_Hiep), I’ve been aquascaping for about 11 years and have been keeping aquariums for as long as I can remember.

I've been in the hobby since March 2019, when I started with a 20g high with red gravel and plastic plants and ornaments. My passion for the hobby has pretty much just increased exponentially since then, with my progress really getting going once I discovered a few tank journals on forums from fellow scapers (who we are now fortunate to be active on this forum) and closely studying their methods. I have 4 tanks including this one, the other three are low-tech. This tank was set up...
