aquascape

I started the work on my 90 gallon budget build today. I’ve spent the last few months getting the tank, parts and pieces, and supplies. Still more to get but this will get me going and keep me busy. I’ve always wanted my own salt water aquarium and now is the time. Unfortunately I don’t have the...

So, there is controversy in the house tonight. I won’t say where I stand on one of the oldest debates. Hopefully we can put an end to the differing points of view once and for all. Please vote for which side you are on. Be honest and I won’t judge your answer. Going in a RSR 350 due to...

Hi team, I have an aio that has the hard plastic back. I’m thinking about doing some aquascaping and back in ye old days I had stacked rock and leaned some of it against the back of the tank. Do you think it’s better to avoid that if possible? My tank is a cube so it would be easy enough to avoid.

Just set up my reefer 170, how bad is it?

Hi all, I am looking for some opinions on the aquascape for my Reefer 200 build. I am looking to do a mixed reef. Currently I have a Biocube 32 with the following setup. I have been considering moving that over to the new tank and building off of it as I like the cave aspect of this. It is...

Due to an outbreak of Ich in my DT I was able to fight and treat the infected fish. This opened up the opportunity for a new look in my tank after the copper was removed. This is my first rockscape attempt. The last set was just five rocks leaning against each other. The fish really liked the...

Hi team, Happy almost new year! I’m thinking of going with live rock for a brand new set up and was wondering what the best glue is to use for putting it all together underwater? Any particularly good or bad experiences? As always - thanks in advance!

Set up this tank about 2 months ago and starting to question my aqua scape, the fish seem happy enough but I’m wanting opinions especially since I want to add corals and want them to look nice any help would be appreciated. Sorry about the lighting, my filter hasn’t come in yet

Looking for ideas to improve my nano

Hello everyone I have a 20gal nano running right now and i was looking for recommendations on placement of some of the corals to make it look more complete the top rock on the scape is bare ik that but i feel that the hammer frog and torch wont have enough room to grow and think would help for...

Hello! I just purchased a waterbox marine 110! I am very excited as I am upgrading from a 30 gallon tank. Any pointers for set up with the water box tanks? Or any other recommendations on equipment that would be helpful for a larger tank size?

Is it possible to build a reef wall in the back of a tank, and how would you do it?

Over the next few months I'll be looking to revamp my tank from a boulder in an old braced freshwater tank to something a bit more inspired. Trying to strike a balance between novelty and practicality seems to be the biggest challenge. Nevertheless I'm wondering if anyone here has good examples...

Hello All, My name is Mike, I'm here in California.....I chose the name FreshSaltyGuy because I've only ever ran Freshwater tanks successfully for the past 15 years. I started off with a 20 gallon, then 50 gallon is where I ended up which was plenty. I was able to breed lots of fish in my...

Hi - Just starting the hobby! There was a recommendation to get your aqua-scaping reviewed. I'm a few days into cycling and was wondering if there is too much dry rock in my Fluval Evo 13.5g. Any feedback would be great, thanks!

I am getting a royal gramma next week and want to build a cave out of rocks for it since I heard they like caves. Do they prefer caves with 1 opening, or a pass through kind with 2 openings? Also if anyone has any royal gramma observations about what kind of rockwork they like to hang out...

Malawi cichlids I’m super happy!!! I found some pretty big stones at the top of a mountain and took them home for a 9-1 water-bleach soak before rinsing then soaking in our hard tap water. I know I can make these big butt stones into a beautiful hide/nest for some of my big Mbuna. I’m hoping the...

I have close to a couple hundred pounds of dry rock, half being Marco rock from BRS, another half being old fiji and pukani rock that’s been dry for years. I’m going to be aquascaping my 310g build in a couple weeks and want to give a quick rinse to the dry rock before going in the tank to...

Looking at my current rockscape, I've been thinking that my surface area for corals is really lacking which would severely limit corals to the top and the bottom right slope. To rectify this I was thinking about adding a rock on this corner leaning onto the corner of the glass (yellow circle)...

Although this isn’t a full build I thought I’d share my experience redoing a full aquascape in an established reef and share the awesome scape I got from Chandler Rocks. I’ve had my Red Sea Reefer 350 for a few years now and gone through several iterations of aquascape. I always was satisfied...
