Non-Traditional Aquariums for the Modern Home

As the weather turns colder and the outside color palette tends toward hues of gray, brown, and, well…more gray, I find myself thinking of things that remind me of more tropical (and colorful!) destinations. I've always had a thing for fishtanks, but a pet store style aquarium doesn't always fit nicely into a room's decor.

Here are a few gorgeous tanks that aren't your standard glass rectangle variety--and most probably aren't in your standard budget, either. But it's fun to dream!

1. A luscious dining room (that most of us can only dream about), from home-designing via furnishism
2. A wonderful room divider in a modern kitchen setting from spacearium via freshome
3. A stately foyer tank from living color
4. Another gorgeous spacearium living room setup via freshome

7. A nifty tv tank from aquahobby via demilked
