Tank of the Month Forum

Unexpected's Award-Winning Dutch Tank
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.

TANK OF THE MONTH - February 2023 - Ultum_Hiep's Nature Aquarium
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.

My most notable achievement would be my 2018 entry into the IAPLC which got me rank #4 which made me the first American aquascaper to ever break into the top 10. This year I have had the great opportunity to join UNS (Ultum Nature Systems) full-time as their Brand Representative and Content Marketing Associate. This Aquarium is a relic of my hoard of old tanks and is a discontinued Aquavas 65cm which I entered into the IAPLC for 2022. Hiep's IAPLC 2018 #4 System Profile 1...
TANK OF THE MONTH - November 2022 - Freshflora's Dutch-Inspired 40 Breeder
Cooper Jacobs' (@Freshflora) 40 gallon Dutch-Inspired Introduction I was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Went to the University of Wisconsin, Madison for undergrad and am currently in my last semester of law school at Southwestern near downtown LA. 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...
