I tend to agree with cheesy. The phone booth tank? A 2x2x8 tank really? And the keg tank w/ coral insert was the worst. I have only seem them create one natural looking tank, aside from the finished tanks the interaction and construction are entertaining120g - Tropheus Moorii Kambwimba

Yeah Tony the single Troph really bothered me. I just didn't want to get too far up on my soap box. The guys are great at building aquariums not so much on knowledge of the fish or the best environments for them.120g - Tropheus Moorii Kambwimba

I like the show, but I don't think they do many freshwater tanks, hence the single tropheus.
The thing you have to remember is it's a show, and there building show tanks not lifelike tanks that look "natural". Kind of like the chopper show OCC. They make all there money on basic choppers sold to wealthy people, but the show is all about their out of this world display bikes that would be almost impossible to really ride.

I understand and actually made the same analogy between the two shows myself. Even with that understanding I don't care for their tanks, but can still appreciate the show for its entertainment value. However a single tropheus is unforgivable under any circumstances120g - Tropheus Moorii Kambwimba

They focus on how the tank look for a customer perspective, honestly I don't think they worry a bit in how the fish is doing as long they eat , they put it in there, they are not like us that we like to give a fish a tank like "real habitat". To me is too much commercialization. My 2 Cents46 Gallon Bowfront, GT & L187b (2)
