Wow, that's really impressive. Wonder what it takes to keep it that way.
I wonder about the most popular poll choice- doing your own thing. That would mean half the voters (at this point) say they have their own style. Does this mean a radical distinction from the recognizable styles, or simply the fact that folks always add some creativity to what they do? I don't think that choice answers the question- are we saying we like our own style best?
I voted for nature aquarium style because I like the aquarium to look like a chunk of nature, a view into another world, a microcosm suggesting something larger. I like the scapes that succeed in some sort of mystery, like if you could only see a little further down this way there would be more, an illusion of space that's bigger than the actual size. If I went snorkeling, I doubt I would ever find something in nature that looks like the tanks I like, but it appeals to what I think looks natural, anyway. The Dutch style and this Taiwanese figurine style are so impressive, but wouldn't get my vote. I'm more for French gardens than English, so the overly manicured look just isn't to my taste.
