Most peoples threads start with, "not sure if mine qualifies?". Why are we all in the fog over whats minimalist and whats not? I know I can picture the idea of minimalistic in my head but there is soo much to debate over what is and what isn't. I feel it starts with the rock, how its placed (bonzai comes to mind), is it open and flowing? Second is a clean open spaced sand bed... Hard to achieve in smaller tanks IMO (I can never get my sand bed to stay flat!! I feel that is important). Third, equiptment, clean and presentable. Everything IN the tank needs to be "aquascaped" so to speak.
Rimless tanks seem to look best for this application w/o canopy for sure. OH, and CLEAN GLASS! Many tanks for sure without a doubt trump mine in this setting which i strive for but didnt plan for too well. All in all, there are many breathtaking tanks in this threat and i want to congradulate everyone for there hard work and passion and most importand of all thanks for sharing photos! Keep up the good work people, I love this thread!
