[alphaferret]

It reminds me of my freshy-I have drift wood screwed into the euro bracing across the middle-so it hangs down in the tank-ok so not reallly alot alike but you get the idea

i used to have red earred sliders...and had a tank kinda like that...with a big rock in the center with the water cascading down....loved it.

Very cool to see people think outside the box. I'm suprised noone has yelled at him yet for going against the norm

Whats interesting is the rocks out of water seem to be growing coralline over the course of his pics

 

[dreaminmel]

Now that... definately a testament to thinking outside of the box. I love it.

If I had a rimless open top tank I can guarantee it would have some "emergent" live rock. It's a really cool concept that helps form an image of a complete ecosystem. My planted FW was open-topped and had driftwood sticking out of the water and several emergent plants, I loved the effect it created.

There was a famous thread somewhere on these forums many years ago where someone had a very well established SPS tank that featured several large branching colonies that had basically grown "out" of the water (not really out of the water of course, just right up the the very point where the tips had died off because they were barely above water). Anyone remember that tank?
