Most of you have already seen these but they are simply captivating. The key is to make the aquarium look natural and not like a cluttered mess of algae.

Wow. That is one of the ost natural looking exhibits I've seen thus far!

Is that a flounder? (4th pic)

Yeah it is. This tank is simply amazing. The only one of its kind i have ever seen.

There's this floating warf a few hours away from where I live. It's basically macro-algea heaven. I could probably create something like that using what I find there. (skulpins, flounders, some small (3" max) black fish and large brown fish I can't identify.

That would be cool. Do you have a spare tank?

I'm not allowed another tank until my birthday next year, however I don't have anything currently in my tank so I could always change plans. I'm just not sure what I want right now.

That is so cool! Can you special order macro algea and the organisms taht live in it?

I don't know if there's an actual company that sells it, however other people you meet on forums, for example, could probably ship to you.

...Or you could just go collect it yourself.

by froglover007 on October 5th 2009, 3:57 pm

Yeah, i guess i could collect it in Alberta. Smile

by Brent on October 5th 2009, 4:14 pm

Oh whoops... Didn't think about location.

by **Hero** on October 5th 2009, 4:44 pm

Check the link froglover. He collected all his stuff from the ocean. But you would have to find someone to ship to you...maybe brent since he also lives in canada.

Mom doesn't let me ship/purchase online : (

Sorry
