aqua design amano, if i'm not mistaken. it's a style of planted tank popularized by aquarist takashi amano. amano-style tanks are absolutely gorgeous.

What trashion said. ADA is basically a style/company of aquarium, usually associated with freshwat planted tanks. I've also seen some AMAZING reef tanks made with the ADA tanks.
Here's a little glimpse at what this Japanese look goes for...

Yeah, ADA is Aqua Design Amano based on the aquascaping principles of Takashi Amano. And there are aquascaping contests for mostly planted tanks: http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org Here is an ADA gallery: http://www.aquaristics.com/ada-gallery.php And there is an online store (well more than one, but this is the more popular one): http://www.adgshop.com/. They have a whole line of aquascaping tools, substrates for planted tanks, and additives. I use the substrate, as its probably the best one I've used in all my planted tanks. I'm hooked now.  Their tanks are really awesome and I'd love to have one, but I just don't have the money atm.
