Been a while since I’ve posted but I’m back and ready for my first scape! I was watching that BRS video on building their NSA and they started talking about the glue accelerator, which they referred to as “just acetone”.
Now, my question is this — does anyone know if I can use acetone based...
I started imagining a crazy art piece of an aquascape like a castle that some guy who makes the CaribSea rock just put together with spare time and it got me to googling encrusted skulls so here are some cool photos and it would be cool for you to add more if you have some :)
Setting up a new 125 gallon tank and just finished the Aquascape. Mostly “real reef rock” and a couple life rock shapes. Was wondering if anyone had some feedback on the design? Not to late for me to alter it. It’s going to be a mixed reed tank.
Thanks!
Hey all!! I have this 10 gallon half moon aquarium. I'd like to do a nice nano reef!! I need ideas!! Themes, corals, aquascape, gear, etc. Throw me all your ideas!! Especially sps dominant ideas since I'm sorta leaning that way right now but I'm open to hear anything!! This is a more vertical setup.
I would say it’s probably about 30-40lbs of real Pukani rock. There is also some shelf rock mixed in with it. I can send anyone more pictures. Just trying to get this ad out there. The rock is in water but probably not live anymore.
Favorite encrusting coral?
Hi R2R community!
First time posting a question on R2R. I’m not new to the hobby, been in and out of the hobby for nearly 30 years since I was in middle school, but it’s been about 15 years since I’ve last built a system, and boy have things changed!. Over the last 8...
Hello. I have 80 pounds of MarcoRocks dry rock remaining from Bulk Reef Supply for my aquarium aquascape. It was $2.99 per pound at BRS. This is $2 per pound. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-reef-saver-dry-aquarium-live-rock.html
In addition, I have a MarcoRocks Pedestal Aquarium Dry...
Selling my leftover (from a new build) Tropic Eden Supreme Tonga Branch Rock. This is easily the nicest synthetic branch rock I've seen since the real thing! Cuts and drills easily, has been easy to work with. Lightweight and strong, this is my new rock of choice!
Includes the pieces shown in...
A few weeks ago I came across a tank(can’t remember where) that was huge, and the corals were allowed to grow where and how they wanted, even if it meant fighting between corals. While parts of the tanked looked great, others not so much. I completely dismissed the idea.
since then I’ve seen...
I want to rearrange my live rock for a couple of reasons. the most important being all of my coral, I want to change it to create better placement for my coral now and future coral. The second being it does not look complete in terms of rock work. This leads me to my question. Is it okay to...
I went with AF Rock -- very heavy on plates and shelves. This is good for my shallow 5ft 100G tank.
Except for the two bases, All the other rocks are suspended (i.e. overhangs and the like).
Looking for honest, constructive, non-hurtful criticism, and opinions.
Is this supposedly minimalistic?
Hey all, just wanted to post my week old setup. Its a 60P sized tank with a pretty simple scape. I really wanted to do something a bit different instead of the mess of colors that reef tanks are known for. I’m basing the design off of a specific area in the game Subnautica. Hopefully i do it...

Thoughts on this aquascape. Open to suggestions to improve it. I liked it when I first built it. Now the more I look at it the more it becomes meh. I don't know where to go from here.
Just got into the hobby few months ago... finally bought my 2 tanks a 75 gallon and a 30 gallon sump. Also some other items.
I’m currently focused on building the Marco rock aquascape, I’m trying to achieve an NSA arch in the center as main display kinda.
I haven’t set up tank yet because we...
30+ pounds of established real live rock for sale(supposed to have been harvested somewhere from Caribbean).
- Taken down from a 70gallon 5 year old reef tank.
- coraline algae.
- no nuisance algae and monitored for about a month for pests after taken out of tank.
- bunch of neon green...
Should I re do my aquascape? I am always looking for ways to make my tank better and wonder if anyone has any advice for ways I can improve my aquascape. Should I let it be or change something up?
