Re: [GSAS-Member] Has Anyone in the Club Ordered from Amano?

I'm not sure how that would look.  From my experience, planted tanks  
look so beautiful because they're clear and great to look at.  My  
boyfriend and I purchased an Oceanic Biocube to set up as a reef tank  
and after a trying 2 weeks, control issues and some bad advice decided  
to turn it into a freshwater tank.  I adore the tank but I find it  
difficult to watch the fish, and photograph them with any kind of  
accuracy and clarity as the front glass and corners all are slightly  
rounded.  Of course it was designed to be viewable 270º but I think it  
would have looked better as an ADG tank.  Here's a photo for  
reference:
