My ideal tank is not really a tank, it's a system. It involves a pool for swimming, a wetland section instead of a pool filter and chlorine. There would be a fall series, many bog plants near the system. I want some use out of the system beyond aesthetics. Aesthetics are very important as well
It's beyond the scale Amano has in his home. If you added the wetland outside and that tank and few more, it would come close. The design I have is linking many tanks together, a central filter, dosing pumps, UV, mechnical etc. No tank has a top, they all are open top, they overflow from one to the next, they curve around the main living area, a central indoor garden with tanks running through it, above would be a skylight pyrimid.
The design would headwaters to the sea desgin. There would be a sizeable water fall at the start. The SW system would be run on a large piston tidal eb, this would cycle the water between the macro tank and the coral tank.
The ending of the FW system would open up into a large flat estuary with Victoria lilies and the larger fish.
