Aqua Forest

Sorry if this is a repost... I just saw it linked on one of the blogs I go to and thought I'd post it here since I think they look pretty darn spiff.

That blog seems kinda slow for me and not wanting to load so I'll post links to the pics.. Don't want to direct link pics since it's not mine to do so. Hopefully these work no problem

And this is the quote on the site under the pics
"George and Steven Lo of Aqua Forest Aquarium in San Francisco make aquariums - but not just any ol’ fish tank. Their creations of "Nature Aquariums" are simply stunning: real plants are used to create a natural (albeit underwater) diorama."

Too much time on his hands...

Awesome tanks though.

Boggles my mind how people get their tanks to look like that. On a side note, the first link didn't work. It said it couldn't find the file.

i guess he mastered the art of building beautiful landscapes in aquariums

definitely alot of time on his hands, but nontheless, AMAZING TANKS

They are not his tanks. To be fair, he probably isn`t claiming them to be either.

The first is by Cliff Hui, who came third in The International Aquatic Plants Layout 2007 competition.

The second is by Felipe Oliveira, who came tenth.

Three and four are by Takashi Amano.

is that actually a tree or just some bogwood with stuff attached?

 

[crimsontsavo]

Id say bogwood with moss.
Wish I had the time to keep up with stuff like that lol. Wow.
I wanted to do a Bonsaiscape but, I'd have to stop changing Boos diapers to manage it, haha.
