Deep water biotope list.. suggestions???

[canadawest]

Help me for I am confused.... :confused:

You want to simulate a deep water environment in a 20g tank? You want to keep a species that typically lives in deeper water, hence has a physiology specifically adapted for deep water pressures, yet are content to keep this same species in 12" of water for the rest of it's life? Just because we put blue lights above the tank to make it "look" like deep water doesn't mean that it is deep water.

C'mon Darren, of the reefkeepers here I always percieved you as having a great respect and care for their livestock. This idea, albiet "cool" doesn't make sense to me.

For example, it would be "cool" to have a shark in my 100g tank, but it's certainly not something I would do.
