5 aquarium aesthetic "pet peeves" by J. Charles Delbeek

We are cursed with the inability to overlook visual pollution in the display to the point that it distracts us from the rest of the display.

 

I can soooooooo relate to that. It's why I can never own another acrylic tank. Im even ready right now to replace the acrylic back on my Cadlights tank because it's all scratched up from cleaning. Can't enjoy the tank if something is amiss. Has absolutely nothing to to do with money. More to do with personality.

Oh I wanna play!

 

My peeves:

1. architectural rock formations... I like it natural looking!

2. external sumps/fuges.. unless it's a nano with a cool hang-on-back

3. tanks where all the corals are the same height. Usually for those filled with softies, you have height in your tank, fill it up!

4. canapy stands. I know people love them, but I love the modern sleek look of a pendant

5. bare bottoms

 

Obviously I totally think of my tanks as art pieces, but then again I have a design degree ;)
