BckPckr Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Anyone interested in a perfect pico tank? Thought someone might be... ADA tanks Link to comment
BckPckr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 i don't know, it's some super aquadesigners brand or something, I just liked it because it looks so perfect, edges, corners, frameless, perfect cube equals out to 7.48g. If I could I would just make one, but that is like PERFECTION in a box... People one here have made awsome tanks, but I have yet to see one with perfect seems, that is what really turns me off...

Jaybugg13 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Amano's tanks and tank concept are really amazing though. He supports the idea of having a tank that almost completly lacks traces of equipment and such, which I'm guessing is why the lack of silicone and the other accessories on the site. LOL there is also a freshwater shrimp named after him! Link to comment
schaadrak Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Why so expensive? Because it's Amano. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 and its not Pico its nano... comes out to 7.5 gallons (12" cube) Link to comment
Ryan_H Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 takashi amano is a world famous expert/designer of planted tanks. he uses nature as inspiration, and frankly is a freaking geneous. many of his planted tanks put reef tanks to shame, imo. do a google image search for "takashi amano". he even has a personal 1800 gallon planted tank that is just AWESOME. but his equipment is as expensive as hell, lol.

BckPckr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 FishFreak, is it wrong to consider tanks smaller than 10g pico? I always considered it that way, personally. Pico-nano, tomatoe-tamatoe Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 no.. not really.. it all really doesnt matter... its just a label Link to comment
BckPckr Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 HE IS GOD!!! WOWWWWWW! This covers a larger span of his work; He is really good! Link to comment
Brian da lion Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Yeah, those are cool tanks. I was thinking about getting that one, but I went with the 10g rectangular one instead. Link to comment
ClarkiiClown Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Those are some cool cubes but I wouldnt pay that much for one. Amano does have some great tanks. Underwater bonsai. HOW DID THEY GET THE FISH TO DO THIS????? That shot too FOREVER Link to comment
pico1 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 It seems like it would be easier to have a tank filled with plants than a tank filled with corals because the plants won't sting or kill eachother when there touching. Link to comment
Brian da lion Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 The tanks are expensive beause they come with a 5 year warranty and a bunch of free stuff. Link to comment
chipmaker Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 The tanks are expensive beause they come with a 5 year warranty and a bunch of free stuff. I just have ot belive that so called "free" stuff all adds into the expensive price of those tanks. Sort of like the junk sold on TV late at night, where they double the order plus add all those extra items for just the cost of postage....yea right......nothing in this world except advice on a web forum is free, especially when it comes from a company as such, you pay for it somewhere or other. HOW DID THEY GET THE FISH TO DO THIS????? Easy for what they charge for the tank they can afford to hire a photographer to set there on a shift schedule 24/7 until just the right pic comes along.....then snap.....the ultimate image...

HOW DID THEY GET THE FISH TO DO THIS?????
