That's a very interesting article; but I am wondering. In this day and age
of all-glass tanks and acrylic tanks, how many people are skilled enough,
and would want to go through all of the detailed, hard work of building
their own aquarium like that? A skilled carpenter perhaps, but most folks, I would think not.
