    you are really brave , having your water so high with no bracing on the top
    my 3ft front panel just gave way, split from the top and was advised to put 2 braces on the top

    Guys sorry if this was misleading under no circumstance did i say this was my tank all i said was i would like to share it. No where did i claim it was mine it was sent to me by a friend saying this is what a 35k setup looks like. So once again sorry for any misunderstanding.

    @Aqua man 100% I did not interpret the first post as you saying it was yours ;-) ... it used to be easy to see the source of images that we linked to on the web - if the person did not provided the link one could always just look at the code and 90% of the time you would get to the source article / pinterest or whatever.

    upload_2018-9-22_2-54-43.png

    These days TASA saves every file you "link" to protect against the photobucket EULA and commercial model etc .. so unless the OP posts the source of the photo one has to go hunting to find the image source. In this hobby an image of a tank for me is a summary of a journey, time and energy etc, so the story behind the story is needed to get what the image is all about. In this case I can fully see why this tank pic would inspire you and others - it really is stunning as most have commented on the thread.


    Another reason why posting the source link is zoom ... sounds funny because it used to work differently, today an image you link to gets resized so something way smaller than what the original might be .. so lets assume https://i.pinimg.com/originals/6e/1d/36/6e1d3686f70daa859a661a09879845c6.jpg was the original image, it has way more detail than what we can see on the TASA version of the image. Since it is here http://allcanwear.org/ada-nature-aquarium-gallery-2017/ it also gives me different context around the image ... but the story now looks different to say the first page I thought the image was used on ... timelines do align since both was posted in 2017, I am still not 100% sure this is ADA gallery ...

    Digging a bit more this seems to be the origin of the image http://thuysinhlongthanh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Slider-Thuy-Sinh-03.jpg biggest file, date and most importantly a none-random anonymous filename. Sadly this is just a slider image for the homepage of http://thuysinhlongthanh.com/ ( with some really wow tanks) and the first article was before this date.


    But I think you get the idea ...

    Last note ... on flickr you can download all the images to a zip so on a desktop you can see all in one place, look at the EXIF information etc.



    These look familiar? http://thuysinhlongthanh.com/ ....

    Just saying

    Hi Ferdie i totally understand what you are saying its just that i don't want members here thinking i claimed it to be mine. i thought it a amazing scape and just wanted to share it.
    some here i am sure interpret it as me being a fraud and i can assure you that's not the case this thing has left me with a bad taste in the mouth but i will put this behind me.
    regards Paul.

    @Aqua man.... please dont take it so seriously..

    In all honesty, I dont think people were looking at you as a fraud...

    When you share something without a title or indication of where it came from
    its open to ... are you sharing what is yours with us or.... ore you sharing something you saw and liked with us.

    Based on these two possibilities which were not made clear in the original post, some members asked the question ... which was natural..
    I honestly believe the question was asked out of genuine curiosity and no offense was meant..
