Do you guys have any cool links to share about noteworthy systems? Maybe some of you even have websites/blogs about your tanks?

I know there's some great planted tanks out there. At the moment I don't have a freshwater tank at the moment, more into the marine side, but by cool system I mean something like Oregon Reef http://www.oregonreef.com

There's also some awesome local systems at http://www.marineaquariumsa.com in the "Reef Hunters (http://www.marineaquariumsa.com/forumdisplay.php?f=77)" section:

Those are all some inspiring tanks!
Especially that one right in the first post, I love the way it wraps around the room :)

I'm still in the dreaming phase, but it's going to be one of my goals for the next 5 years to build myself a 4m x 60cm x 60cm planted river tank and fill it with Asian biotope fish, mainly loaches and other active schooling fish. It'll have natural sunlight from skylight tubes, and a computer-controlled LED setup that I can use to simulate weather and other such things, and all the pumps and sensors and stuff will be computerised as well. I've got it all planned out, now I just need to buy a house and some glass...

And seeing that fish highway makes me want to connect some tanks with acrylic tubes! (I just won't do it up in the ceiling, attached to the walls will be good enough for me thanks. hehe)

You can't really call it a tank, can you? More like an ornament! Still, an amazing piece of work.
