    Are you referring to the mr aqua 12 gallon 91cm x 21cm x 24cm tank design?

    Like this...


    Photo from google.

    A while back i was also searching around at various LFS for it too (its very ideal for shrimp or cory tank setup), but couldn't find any which import or stock it... the only other option was to order and ship it in from overseas or just custom make it locally.

    Well, i tried a shallow tank for dwarf cories before, but its not a planted tank, more to keep fishes... just some mini fissidens on wood and floating plants:

    http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum/showthread.php/100986-23-Litre-quot-Sand-Cats-quot-Tank!


    The one i used is only 48cm length though, only half as long as the mr aqua one.

    I guess for shallow tanks, short carpet plants would be the most ideal... its also much easier to plant and maintain an aquascape in a shallow tank too, can pretty much manage everything with a standard pair of 30cm length tweezers, no need to get hands wet.

    These are some examples done by chaps online using mr aqua 12 gallon tanks which really take advantage of the extreme aspect ratio of the tank dimensions:

    Re: mr aqua tank

    there is a forum on this tanks
    http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=168088

    saw a few 2 feet tanks but low height at c328. will look real long if we know how to design.
    60x23x28 if not wrong. saw the above link didnt want such a long tank so bought it as an alternative.

    Re: mr aqua tank

    I have the same tank but with curved side on the front, empty though, can't remember where I got it from too and a project delayed again.

    Re: mr aqua tank

    The nice thing about the mr aqua 12 gallon is its made of low-iron glass and only 5mm thick (due to the relatively small 45+ litre volume)... helps to create a very minimalist look.

    As its only 21cm depth, it could also fit neatly on a long console table along a corridor wall, that was one of the placement ideas that got me interested in it.

    problem is, still have to find a way to hide filter and piping....but I guess with a bit of imagination, it can be done quite nicely.

    hmm someone pulled my image off my Mr Aqua 12 gallon long review lol - Actually Geoff (owner of Sevenports, importer of mr aqua in the US) has been out of stock of them because of a high demand. Pretty much you have Marinedepot and Aquascape Depot that are in stock with them (dont quote me on that though). I dont know what happened to Orlando with Green Lead Aquariums, but this is all in the United States (i see you are all in Singapore)

    Re: mr aqua tank

    nice to see you chime in on this , but on the close up pic , it seem like the silicon work is quite sloppy , does it happen on all mr aqua tanks ?
