    Feedback needed on RedSea 625 Aquascape

    Hi R2R, I just got a new Red Sea Reefer 625 XXL set-up and have constructed my aquascape. I am hoping to get any feedback on it! This tank will primarily be for fish and LPS/soft corals. My hesitation with my current set-up is that there's too much rock and that will prevent me from being...

    Using aquascape to deal with scratched glass

    Started working on aquascaping my new 210,... and I dropped a piece of liverock and scratched the front glass panel, almost dead center. It is not cracked but the scratch is deep enough to catch a fingernail. So is there a way to use the aquascape to minimize the appearance of the scratch? As in...

    Real Reef Rock vs CaribSea's Life Rock

    Hi everyone, I'm going to be building my first aquascape for my Reefer 625 and I know I like the purple rock look already, but not sure which rocks to use. Is there a preference of Real Reef Rock vs. CaribSea's Life Rock and why? Thanks!

    dihydroxybenzene in Glue

    Hi Planning on doing some NSA aqua scaping for a new build I usually gorilla but as I need a lot I found some superglue locally that is cheap and comes in large pots. Tested it on a couple of pieces of test rock and seems really good but noticed it has dihydroxybenzene as an ingredient as well...

    Too much rock and sand?

    Setting up aquascape in Waterbox 20 nano cube. Put in 20 lb bag of Caribsea sand and purchased a 20 lb box of Caribsea Life Rock shapes. The rock work does not touch and of the walls. Unfortunately, the base rock I got was huge and takes up a lot of space. I'm thinking that the current set-up...

    Opinions on where the corals should go?

    I wanted some opinions on what I should do with my aquas cape in terms of coral. I want the top half to be spa and the lower half to be lps. The idea is to have the middle portion be a small ZOA garden. However I am still trying to figure out what side I should put all of my euphyllia. Do you...

    Strategic coral placement can make your corals look more colorful/brighter!

    When I started my second build a few years ago, It made me pretty sad. I couldn’t tell why I thought it was ugly but it just was. With my previous tank, I had this l“aha!” moment one day where I pictured the direction I wanted to go and how I wanted corals to grow in eventually. But with the new...

    Connecticut New York $20 bucks for 40lbs of live rock!

    I have about 40lbs of live rock. (I didn’t weigh it but it’s definitely about 40lbs maybe more!) The rock is from a tank tear down that’s been cycling in a brute container with a powerhead and heater in my garage for almost 5 months. I ghost feed a small amount of pellets every other day. Some...

    Build Thread Finally getting serious: The 180 gallon dream tank

    I’ve been in the feeding hobby since I was 16. While most kids begged for a puppy I somehow convinced my parents to buy a 75 gallon saltwater tank instead. You might say that tank was a failure, but I fell in love with the hobby during those two years of heartache and frustration. 2 years ago I...

    Would love some feedback/advice on my aquascape.

    I am starting a new 25G peninsula reef tank from Waterbox. I think I'm done with my rockwork, but at times I feel like it looks bad. The two main pieces can be separated if I want to put some space in between. I plan on adding a lot of coral. I attached photos of all 3 sides: left side...

    First tank aquascape, 40 breeder

    I tried the trick of dividing the tank into thirds and came up with this. I really like the pillar looks. Since I’m going bare bottom but I love the look of sand, I used Krylon Stone Texture spray paint under the tank to make a fake sand bed Thoughts?

    Advice on improving my aquascape

    Hi all, I've been running this 20G Nuvo for around 5 months now and I initially designed the aquascape minimalistically. However as I buy more and more corals, I regret not putting more rocks to generate space for corals. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to improve on my...
