I know its not natural looking, but I like the way it looks

Just thought I would start this one to get you guys to post pics. You know who you are, the ones with the hot pink gravel and neon plants.

So the title says it all, 'I know its not natural, but I love the way it looks'

Lets see those tanks!

So for those that are like: 'what are you talking about?'

NOT my picture, from here: http://www.ratemyfishtank.com/photo-main.php/37299

I bought a tank that had a horrible burgundy colored gravel, I posted it on Craigslist and someone actually bought it. Yes, they paid me money for it!

  -My 1st tank was a 55 gal acrylic. I used back and white gravel mixed with red glass marbles. Does that count? Ill see if I can dig up old pictures...

  - Mmm_fruity pebbles

Does this count? My first african cichlid tank 55gal with Japanese theme with a pile of rocks (stacked up but looks like a pile of rocks).

This was my 15 gallon tank, it was a joke setup, that LamentalJester and I came up with when we were setting up out 15 gallon column tanks. Hahahaha... Needless to say, I only put those pokemon toys in there JUST to take the picture, then took them out shortly after =P

Don't even ask me why I didn't stick with JUST water type pokemon, believe me. I wanted to. I just didn't have many water types on hand =P

Sure you did...   

you caught me. =P I kept em in there for a good while until algae started growing on them. LOL

Blastoise, I chose you!

I hope that was after pikachu stopped randomly thundershocking Ash, else those water types are in big trouble.

PERKERCHER!!!

I feel like I want to do another "non-natural" looking tank... but done right. Like, maybe make it look like a sandy beach, or an island surrounded with blue gravel, etc...
Just NOT that pesky Super Mario Setup that has been floating around the interwebs as ofl ate.

But Super Mario is the best!

Ive seen tons of Sponge Bob set ups too. Way overdone!

Someone needs to do a saltwater setup with My Little Mermaid.

SOMEONE DOO EET NAO!!

My puffers tank was set up sponge bob when I got it. Erf. I changed that out. I let him keep squidwords head and then I ended up taking that away too. I like the mario one though lol. I just saw one on another forum that they did a sunken plane and crash scene under water lol

Ok, I admit I do like this new Nat. Geo. decor at Petsmart. Its got this entire underwater cave background which I cant find any pic of just yet. But then you can add all these cool pieces.


I would then do a dark substrate to get the full cave effect and add some blind cave fish and some sort of albino catfish for the bottom. Its just so themed that it makes it cheesy but kind of cool. Actually glo fish and the right light and it would totally pop.

Those sunken shipwreck/plane wrecks look neat when don right though!

TITANIC! DOOO EEET
