Thanks for posting. Enjoyed it.

Every year I watch these and know that I will never enter my (plantless) tanks! I am a different kind of aquarium keeper. If I have any plants, they are usually fake and their purpose is mostly to provide hiding places for fish!

Your setups look great, by the way.

Thanks Betty.

There are many components to making a great aquarium and plants aren't a required one. Just go on YouTube and check out African cichlid tanks and tell me how many have plants.

I would most certainly love to see your tanks some day.

Betty you should join next year. It would be great seeing tanks with no plants. Don't get me wrong, I love plants and planted tanks but I want to see something different sometimes. Gsas is heavily skewed towards nano / smaller fish and planted tanks.

I second that, it would be refreshing to see aquarium setups that are not high tech/planted.

Sounds like a challenge!! I love it!

 

[Betty]

Hmm, I don't know...
Also, I'm way south. I don't think they'd want to drive this far for tanks full of rocks.

LMAO

That says VOLUMES, @Betty

@Betty plus it would be cool seeing an african cichlid tank. So far they're mostly discus and tetras.

Diversity is important! Heck yeah!

 

[Keefe]

@Betty You saw my tanks it not like i had plants in them

 

[Loren]

Good point.

 

[VickiK]

I'd be laughed off the list. I got "issues" over here. The fish are happy as crap but the tanks? Looking a little shaggy.....

 

[dig317537]

my tanks are the 1st ones in the home show video

my tanks are the 1st ones in the home show video

And they are GORGEOUS!!!

 

[Betty]

I thought they were all very nice, including Keefe's with only a couple of plants in them. Saltwater is another type I don't remember seeing much of.

 

[Keefe]

I need to find a Saltwater group in Tacoma hahahaha

 

[Loren]

Just start your own. You can call it SALT for Saltwater Aquarium Lovers Tacoma.

 

[VickiK]

I'm not sure why I think this, but as a former Tacoman, I don't think there's a whole bunch of sophisticated Marine fish keepers out there.

I could be a bigot. I'm happy to admit that.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing @Loren ! My bare bottom tanks will never win any beauty contests LOL.
