A long time ago I did a ScapeFu post about making the outside of the aquarium as beautiful as the inside. Twelve years ago, in fact! Wow, I'm getting old!
I ran into the above pictured setup by Adrian Myers and it really hit me. This is what I was thinking about all those years ago. Beautiful job, inside and out of the aquarium!
Now, I don't know if Adrian has a spouse or partner, so I won't ask how he managed to get an entire corner of a room for this. I'll just wish I had this much space for my set up. That being said, even if I did have this much space, I couldn't make it look as nice as this. For goodness sake, even the carpet matches the overall theme! Everything from carpet to wallpaper and fish sculpture! Nice!
I love the industrial feel combined with the nature of the aquarium. Really showcases everything with the CO2 cylinders and ADA Jet filters seamlessly moving into the background. I'm going to take a brillo pad and sandpaper to my cylinder after seeing these!
What do you think? Too stark for you or just a well done minimalist setup?
Are you an open stand type or do you need to hide the "wires" like me?
