"Cool" looking small / medium aquarium

law086 · 07/22/2011, 01:35 PM

I currently have a 180 gallon setup in my home office and have a 450 waiting to be setup in my basement. I'm thinking about redoing my home office and would like to downsize the tank in my office, due to it's large footprint. But that have me wondering - what would look cool that's smaller? My first obviously answer would be some kind of cube in the 50 to 70 gallon range (when I say small, I don't mean nano). Anybody else have suggestions for cool, modern, high tech looking setups? Zero edge would be cool, but I don't want to spring the cash for that. Pictures would be great too. The more different the better!

Although a lot of people aren't fans of them, I really like DSA's Neo Nano with the waterfall.

That's pretty sweet. I haven't seen them before. I can't find a reference to the size and cost of them. Have the handy? I also wonder how bad the salt spray would be from that waterfall.

Cadlights artisan series cubes are nice. I'm currently setting one up, but lots of other people have as well. Do a search, you'll come up with quite a few builds.
