Came across this aquarium. It says it is salt water, but looking at the dimensions, there is no way it will work well. You need a good 50 gallons to even think about supporting salt water fish. |

I've had a lot of success with mini reef systems, 10 gal, 20, and currently a 35 gal bow front with 50lbs of live rock. Mini reef systems are very popular in even this small size shown. I've seen these tanks in only the pricey stores, as they are not cheap. But with water quality (good filter) and frequent water changes you can sustain a couple of small marine fish along with a chunk or two of live rock in something this small. Proper lighting also makes a difference, but they now have high intensity bulbs even this small. It was amazing what I kept in a 10 gallon reef, that was 12 years before today's technology. Here's a 7 and 2.5 gallon nano reef... [ Edited by: Lake Surfer 2007-01-23 07:56 ] |

Hmm. I did not know that. My friend said he had a 35 gallon he kept fine for years, but, he's a nut. I thought you needed a pretty large tank to keep things from going wrong quickly. Now we know. |

Man - I saw this aquarium and rushed over here thinking I'd be the first to post it on the ol' TC - silly me! I dig the sculpture on the top - but the base sculpt isn't as tight. I'd fill it with fresh water and put a bunch of fake 'zombie fish" in it or something so I wouldn't have to worry about keeping a little critter healthy and happy. |

The Aloha Tiki aquarium comes with options of fresh or salt. AND, you can have the fake rock and sculpts or opt in for the real thing. I'd love to have one for my bar (fresh water, possibly) but I can't afford the Aloha Tiki. |
