aquascape

After stressing out about getting the aquascape "perfect" I finally came up with these two shapes.... the problem is that once I got a bangaii cardinal I realized that what I made is not ideal for a fish. I say that because my bangaii is usually brown and stressed out in the corner of the tank...

Hi all. I began my saltwater adventure with nano tanks and am going to see how I fair with a 40 gallon. I was last on the forums a few years ago, and still quite naive with expectations. Doing a few things wrong if you catch my drift. I’ll be going with the 40 gallon breeder from petco as they...

Here is a sample of my reefscape. Still tinkering on a few things.. I’ll hide the acrylic rods once I put in tank. Check out the floating shelf that I am going to crazy-glue to my overflow box. Has anyone done this before? FYI I’m using Gorilla glue gel, eMarco 400 and CaribSea life rock...

I haven't quite made my mind up on this aquascape, and I wanted to see if anyone had any advice/constructive criticism before the new tank gets wet. This is my first time using base rock instead of live rock, so I know it isn't perfect.

It’s my first if you don’t count my first nano tank with one large boulder and no thought. Lol. I’m missing one

Planning a aquascape to put in a hypothetical Red Sea reefer 350 I might buy Scape A or Scape B

Currently have a 55 gallon FOWLR but I’m not happy with the current aquascape. I ordered around 15 lbs of shelf rock from BRS that is coming in soon. Any suggestions on how to make this scape look less horrendous?

Hi all. I’ve been working hard on this tank since I set it up 4 months ago. I think it’s finally ready for critical review. It’s a 30 gallon biocube. What do you all think? Any advice and suggestions are welcome.

The bug has bit and I'm back! It's been over a year since I've dabbled in the reefing world, and this time I'm here to stay! I've recently started a new job where I have my own office space, and will soon be moving to a brand new facility where I will have my own huge glass office. For now, I'm...

Ok I'm fed up of mine and not going to post a pic because it currently looks crap after a rock slide and being hastily put back together. So I'm looking for some inspiration so please share yours here.

Please critique my aquascape made using Real Reef rock. The rocks are all held together with 3/4” acrylic rods, thermoplastic beads and cyanoacrylate :D

Hey y'all, I'm working on the scape for my new build. Thoughts & Constructive Criticism please. Tank is 36x24x20 and I'll be running opposing Gyres

Hi , Happy Sunday and happy reefing! So I had to move about a month ago and of course took my tank with me. I decided to clean out everything( sand and rock) now bare bottom and empty and start fresh.(of course I kept media and levels have been stable and good for the past 6 weeks ). All I have...

Here's a video of the 250g build, with Joseph Caparatta of UniqueCorals Greg Carroll (The voice of Reefapalooza:)) finally got his big 250 gal reef and it’s ready to rock. He enlisted Joseph Caparattato design and build the Aqua-scape using a combination of MR’s finest products. The pvc bottom...

Hey everyone I'm going to restart my 5 gallon soon and want to do a real nice scape, locking rocks together to make it look like either one rock or at least a cool structure. What type of epoxy, cements etc do you recommend?

So I finally completed my aquascape and the tank has settled in. I spent so much time getting the scape the way I wanted, I never thought about what corals I was going to fill it in with. I have mainly zoas and palys along with some torches and hammers, 2 different blastos, 2 plating montis...

Recently had a tank crash due to equipment failure/dino overrun. As part of the restart I decided to move my journal here as this is where I spend most my time online. Im in the middle of collecting photos and will sift through them and post shortly. Here is what the tank looked like prior to...

Hey folks, I thought it would be neat for everyone to see how our tanks have changed since they were first put together, so show off a before picture of your blank aquascape versus what it looks like now! As an example, here's my IM Nano Fusion 20 aquascape before and after ( or present ;) )...

150 gallon tank. Total water is 137 gallons with sump. Here are two pictures. One is without the live rock, the other is with the live rock. I know the color will match later on, but please let me know if I have too much rock in the tank. There is 124 lbs of dry rock in the display...

I’ve always used epoxy and glue to make my rocks sturdy but I want to put my newest art work to the bottom glass, should I use epoxy or superglue ?

Has anyone tried to epoxy or glue small pieces of rock rubble to the tank glass to support corals that need to be separate ..... also directly to the bottom glass for rock stability in the build of a new aquascape and which product was successful, gel or 2 part epoxy

So who has used Aquasik epoxy/putty? Has anyone used this long term months to years with out anything falling apart? I just finished creating my aqua-scape with dry rock and this stuff holds amazingly! I also put tons of Extra thick supper glue from BRS in any crack/crevasse to make sure nothing...

Hi, I ordered 80lbs of Two Little Fishies Stax Rocks and I try to find the best way to blue them together. not in one big block but in bunch of few piece to make them stack like lego blocks. I plan to glue them dry then, cure them for maybe a month or two. I found many product that could do...
