Amano's personal tank
Dec 7th, 2007 by admin
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)

I think it is too small, it leaves a lot of open space. The contrasts are lacking and there is an obvious void of linear composition. The open top adds a sloppyness I would not expect in a display tank. The equipment showing in the top right corner is unexcusable. From such an accomplished aquascaper, I would think his personal tank woould live up to worldclass expectation. ( 3 out of 10 / D- )
