Wow....you sure you wanna start this one Will? I could take up 10 pages here 
55 gallon Planted Discus tank
Inhabitants: 7 discus, 14 Cardinal Tetras, 2 Bolivian Rams, Cories, Multipunctatus cats, Albino bristlenose plecos
These tanks have changed around, but here's what the entire setup looks like with hood and cabinet...I'll work on some closer pics with new inhabitants!
(I made these cabinets myself from scrap wood in a cabinet makers bin)
110 gallon 5 foot tank
90 gallon 4 foot tank
A few of my fish that I breed...many are wildcaughts. I'm not talented enough to take real good fish photos yet, so some of the real good ones were taken by my friend of my fish.
Capidochromis Trewavasae 'Mloto Likoma'
Placidochromis Electra (AKA Deep Water Hap)
Cynotylapia sp. Mbamba 'Chitende Island'
Metriaclima Callanois (AKA Cobalt)
I have tonnes more, but those are pics of some of my breeding Lake Malawi African Cichlids, as well as discus.

Wow...could it be? Chameleons and Aquariums in the same forum?? GREAT idea!
I am not very good at taking pictures of my fish...at all! But I'll dig through my "fishes" folder and find some of my favorites!
Male Kribensis (Pelvicachromis pulcher)
A pair of Kribs hiding out
Trying to capture that bright red belly!
And lastly, a picture of my 2nd favorite fish! (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi)

Well I suffered an injury at work, back related... so I had to put off the work I had planned to get the new big tank up and running. It did however give me some rest time where I could recline and use the computer to do some more research into Amano style aquascaping.
Alas the beast still lies beside my bed, empty.

No kidding. Those can supposedly break glass tanks right?

There are only two species known to break glass one is O. Scyllarus(peacock mantis) which is what I have!! The other is G. Chiragra!! Here are some links to both species!!

most people that have them keep them inside small thick plastic tanks with thick walls... If you have yours in a glass tank dont be shocked to find a cracked or broken tank one day when you get home... I still think they are way cool tho...

Haha. I was picturing some kind of acrylic enclosure to ship them in too.

Actually, most of the popular stomatopods are "Bashers" with a blunt hard weapon. So a good quality aquatic shipping bag is really all thats needed. Since the bag offers little resistance to a miniature blow, nothing should occur. It's the shrimp that are "stabbers" that would cause trouble.
As far as my tank, now that my back has healed up nicely, Ill be able to lift it down and start putting the gravel and stuff in. I hope to put some photos up on Friday maybe.
Any Takashi Amano fans here?
