From the article: Unusual Aquariums
During a cross country road trip I came across the most unusual place I've ever seen an aquarium. Seeking a place to satisfy my sweet tooth, I stopped at a Dairy Queen and was stunned to find a freshwater aquarium at the counter.

This wasn't just a fishbowl sitting on the counter, mind you, this was a fill sized tank built into the counter. Definitely a jaw-dropper. What about you - where is the most unusual place you've ever seen an aquarium? Unusual aquarium stories

Emergency Waiting Room

The Emergency Room waiting area at our local hospital has a large freshwater aquarium in the section set aside for kids. It's a great idea, very calming and something interesting to look at while people wait.

Unusual Aquarims

I have a 20 gallon aquarium inside of a nautical coffee table. This table is of solid pine with 2 brass portholes on both sides. The top of the coffee table is solid pine with glass, outlines with nautical rope. There are 2 brass bands with copper nails on each side of the top. This coffee table aquarium is stained walnut. On both ends of this table are nautical rope handles.

Room Divider

I once went to the apartment of a colleague, where the above-the counter divider between the kitchen and livingspace was an aquarium.
