What were the themes of the tanks entered at AquaMania?

I remember Frank's "Red, White and Blue" tank: no shortage of oohs and ahhs at the gorgeous fish in it!

Tony's West African Biotope / Biotype - gorgeous!

Mahesh's Volcano tank - very cool

Others?

Mine was themed "outside the box" because it was round. I almost listed it as "untanked" but I didn't think anyone else would think that was funny and wasn't entirely sure why I did. I guess I picked the right theme, since it placed in the themed group.

I saw a Whomping Willow themed tank.

Oh man becca, I was wondering why it was labeled like that. It makes perfect sense now! Did you construct that whole waterfall from scratch?

Sigh, nobody ever gets my jokes! :(.

Yes. Will (Localzoo) helped, but we constructed it all by hand with the help of a few power tools. I've actually taken it apart to try to fix the splashing issue - I think I need to change the angle of the pitcher.

Just a thought, but if you add an air stone under the area where the water falls in it will reduce the surface tension enough to eliminate splash. I'm sure there are several ways to getbit done.

Dan my other idea was to lower the pitcher... Becca I thought it was funny but then again I was in on it.

I think lowering the pitcher and changing the angle to something level/downwards tilting will turn it into a smoother pour. The pump is also a little spotty (sometimes it just shuts off) and kind of noisy, so I'm going to play around with the pump a little. I should be getting a teeny tiny submersible pump today.

Wait... what other tank??? :eek:

I think, if we are ever to out-do this one, it will require some more intensive help from your glass-blowing friend ;).

As for the babies - they helped, didn't they??? I guess we should REALLY be thanking Susie for helping keep an eye on them - she made it all possible.
