Blue Aquarium

The tank is actually on it’s second layout. The additional pics above are from the initial installation of the first layout. In 2004, there were a series of pretty big earthquakes near Niigata that caused a fair amount of damage to the aquascape (wood fell over, etc.). So he did a new, but similar layout, using the same hardscape materials.The 2005 catalog, which many now have, has a big spread with the new layout just shortly after completion. There’s an excellent page spread with the new layout really at a peak moment in the 2006 catalog. I have a small version of it (see below), but the print version is a lot nicer; very crisp and sharp. There’s also a detailed article (in English!) about the tank and accompanying systems. I will be anxious to get the 2006 catalog out there en masse as soon as they arrive. It’s about the coolest publication available for our hobby. (Comment by jsenske)
