Ugly antlers in the middle of beautiful coral
Question: Will there be any control over the coral background in the final version in addition to more control over the lighting besides F1-4?
Although the rest of the tank to me looks beautiful, my personal preference would be to get rid of the beige/brown coral in the middle of the tank that resembles ugly antlers dominating over beautiful coral.

Like virtually everything in the tank, it's vital to the overall design. It provides height and an overhang, a place for future invertebrates to crawl, and will eventually cast a shadow on fish that pass underneath.

Please keep the antlers, virtual species need a home too.

![]() Personally I see it as a step backwards from the perfectly balanced design of shapes and colors of the previous version.

No way would I ever give up the Elkhorn. It's one of my favorite parts of the tank, and the only thing that really spreads out to give it a reef-like quality.

![]() I must admit I also like antlers very very much. That is, on the heads of deer, in the forest, but not growing out of the head of a rock in my aquarium!

I could live without some of the more "colorful" items in the tank - the elkhorn is beautiful! should be more!
All we need is animation for the live corals, anemone, clams etc. Can hardly wait! Michael |

![]() On the head of a deer these would look very silly... The "aquarium" is trying to mimic as much as possible what the real thing looks like... Go diving and you will see "antlers" that look very much like those in the SS..

The coral looks nice Jeremy but there is something that just doesn't look right, to me it looks like there is a blue wall, making it seem like someone put coral on the outside of their tank as well as on the inside. Maybe it's just me but that's how I perceive it.

Once I went to Paris, where I pointed out to the citizens what a lovely city it would be if not for that ugly metal tower. I showed them a picture of San Bernardino, California, which has no tower, but they still seemed unreceptive to the idea of tearing it down. They suggested that I go live in San Bernardino.
The majestic Elkhorn will always stand tall.

You can't satisfy all of the people all of the time. I checked out the Dream Aquarium. I'm sorry but I don't like it. Will they change all the things I don't like to get me to buy it? Yeah right, hold your breath! This is Jim's baby and he still tries to bend over backwards for all of his fans. Please don't push him over the edge. He knows what he's doing and what he wants.

Listen, you don't tug on Superman's cape, something about not spitting in the wind, you leave the mask on the lone ranger, and above all, you DON"T mess around with Jim.
