55 gallons freshwater fish tank (mostly fish and non-living decorations) - I have several variations of this project, but this was the original success story. 2 of my tanks, one planted one not, connected by a bridge that runs above my desk. Many fish used it, and still do, even had a platy who gave birth while hanging out in the tube.

fish tank picture - This 55 gal tank is connected by a bridge to another 55 gal planted tank. This tank is not planted, and built around the idea of vertical levels, all the decor is elevated by about 2 inches from the ground, creating plenty of cave like hiding spaces.
