So while reading another thread here on Reef2Reef I read a comment by a very awesome member on this site. However upon reading it my mind went to the thought of a certain theme reef tank. It was your standard ADD thought process where you get totally distracted and get tossed to another idea... Here's mine:

This comment immediately got me thinking how cool would it be if someone made a Steampunk themed reef tank. Something that looked like the water flow was generated using old water wheels or gear and steam powered propeller pumps... Add a canopy made to look like an old brass steam boiler with tubing and such coming out of it. Paint the PVC tubing a brass color as well to fit with the theme... Make the rockwork look like old gears that had been dropped into the ocean or maybe an old steam engine rotting in the saltwater...
Then I popped my own bubble with the thought of how much work it would be to build the tank and how many other projects I have to do...
So the discussion point here is what kind of crazy themes have you come up with out of the blue to build a reef or saltwater tank around?
** Note: Please no Spongebob comments or plastic buy at your local LFS types of themes. I'm looking for the crazy, no one has done it before and you want to be the first kind of ideas. **
