So far I’ve added 20 fish. Everything is looking great! Tell me what you guys think!

Brilliant! The roid miners are kind of hilarious too. Can the fish go in the hole in the roid for shelter/a quiet spot?

I think that the blue light sucks visually and it’s bad for the eyes physically as well.  
I would love to see enough to marvel at your aquarium, but it’s all just ■■■■■■■ blueish!

Use proper full spectrum light, or at least drop the blue.

…

did i mention blue already? 😛

PS: nice effort. well done, seriously!

Yes, some of the rocks have swim baths for the fish to hide!

How did you make the roids look suspended in space like that? (I’m an aquarium guy-- 55 and 90 gal planted tanks).

@yellow_parasol, hope this works for you! I removed some items from the tank for cleaning. Am not home at the moment due to work. I plan to add a few things here and there. Will keep updating as project continues!

Those fish look ready to form-up.

@Khergit_Deserters, I used monofilament fishing line. The pieces in the tank are anchored to the bottom under the substrate. I always been a fan of aquariums. Especially aqua-scapes. This is however my first tank as an adult. I had one about 2 decades ago as a teenager. I’m not a pro, just a visionary!

@Xandar_Dice, the fish imitating drones and rats was the idea! Thanks for that!

Make a combat one! With LASERS!

Edit Because of excitement: Very good job. Gives me a few ideas for my sand boa environment.

Yeah, the blue LEDs looked space-like, but it looks much more beauteous (IMO) with the full spectrum light. The fish probably like that more too.

I have to admit to some disappointment there. I was hoping it was anti-gravity or something. ☹

I love the look of the tank. It’s a cool idea and I can’t deny wanting to make one myself.

Where did you get the models from, or did you build them yourself?

Great work!

I can tell this isn’t a goon op, because there aren’t three dozen Rorquals crammed into that tank. 😁

Surprisingly good looking with this upper lighting in second image.

Looks somewhat like scenery for next alien film. 🤔
