aquascape

Hello, this is my first ever saltwater aquascape ever and I would like to hear some feedback and constructive criticism before cementing it. The cardboard layout has the dimensions of a 75 gallon tank which is what I am scaping for.

Hello reefers, Currently have an old FOWLR tank I have had up for 2-3 years run off a Canister and am changing to a new tank with sump. tank is a local British made Aqua Marin 900 which was a great price and I like the fact it has a ‘letterbox’ style weir, maximising space in the tank. And has...

A while ago I introduced myself and my builds and had a few people want to see the progress on my hexagon tank. I’m done moving states now and finally got around to setting it up. So here it is! Pvc base for the bonsai and covered with as many coral skeletons as I could find for a “natural”...

Hey everybody! Just got my new 30L in and setup!! I would say I have slightly more than beginner experience but not much more than that. I plan on having “easier” or “lower maintenance” corals for now probably softies and Lps until I get that sps itch ‍♂️ I’ll be asking plenty of newbie...

So.... I had a clownfish die about a month ago now. That was my first time keeping a fish, ever. I am fairly new to the hobby, and I am wondering my next steps are regarding a couple things in my 10g tank. 1. I hadn't had the chance to test my water up until recently, and my nitrite and...

This is my current aqua scape I’m looking at keeping for my tank. Tank will be mainly for 2 clowns, softies, maybe SPS down the track and definitely an anemone once the tank is mature. Anyone have any suggestions or improvements for what I’ve got currently? Ignore the little coral skeleton at...

Hi, I’ve been having trouble with deciding whether or not to redo my Fluval 13.5 aquascape. This has especially been in mind since my last water change, when my big structure tipped and now feels like an accident waiting to happen. Here’s how it currently looks: I’m conflicted, because I...

Alright reefers I need opinions on aquascape. I have a mix of tonga, figi and 2 others and 2 tanks to fit it. Only because I plan to set up a big build at the end of summer and want everything cured. So I decided to do my best to keep rock together region wise. I've finished the Indonesian...

Show us your minimalist Aquascapes!! Lots of open space can make beautiful living art!

I'm playing around with ideas for a non-traditional aquascape. I want to put a sword or buddha or something in a reef tank. Hear me out. If I coated it in epoxy to seal it, then did a another layer of epoxy and dredged it in sand, would stuff grow on it? Besides epoxy, what could seal it up...

On the left it is a mount touching the back pane and resesing towards the tower and the fron glass , with a 5-10cm space to the left glass. It has a plato supported in 1 leg leaving swimming space bellow - the plato looks kinda like a tongue in the top view. On the center and right is an island with

I’m upgrading my tank from a 37g to an 85g system my 37g hasn’t been running for long I started with black sand per recommendation at a lfs. However now that I have this new tank I was looking at sand options and I’m seeing a lot of hate on black sand and how it’s known for messing with water...

So in my head I want a layered cone tower that kind of goes like a spiral staircase to the right medium sized height. then on the left like a taller tower that kind of has a path of meandering rock down into the centre of the tank where I will make a cave for my pair of clownfish that live in...

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some guidance on coral placement for my tank. Im open to suggestions so please let me know what you think would work well and add to the display. The top layers i eventually want to have acros. The small rock in centre has some zoa frags to cover the rock. I...

Hey everyone!! so I recently bought a tank! My first ever reef tank! I’ve got a question regarding aquascaping for my aquarium, and whether I should go with floating rockscape or a bottom rockscape. I’m curious as to the pros and cons of each, and how each one will affect my tank? Here’s the...

I just don’t like how my aquascape has turned out and was wondering if I could by some live rock and add it to the tank. My tank has been running for like nine months now and I was wondering if doing this would have adverse affects?

Starting a new tank. I want to plan for anemones but is it possible to have them together with corals? Mainly LPS what steps should be taken to make sure I don’t destroy corals with a roaming anemone?and any problems I might run into trying to have this type of combination? just researching and...

Is it ok to replace some of my live rock with dry rock in an established tank. I want to re-aquascape my tank I have about 80lbs of established live rock and want to see if I could at least replace half of it with reef saver dry rock.

I'm building out a 90 gallon reef tank with a deep sandbed. The tank is 36" deep and 24" square. I plan on keeping a yellow-headed jawfish and likely a goby/shrimp pair. They'll be digging up the sand so I want to anchor my aquascape to a PVC skeleton that will be buried beneath the sand. I...

Hi, I am setting up my first nano reef tank which is 63 litres. I have put some rocks in it as you can see in the picture but I am unsure whether I should add more rock to support the eco system better also to enable me to place corals in the right place in the future. I have read that you...

It's been 20 years since I kept fish and now seems as good a time as any to start up again and it's amazing how much the hobby and technology has changed in that time. Since January 1st 2021, I've been slowly building my reef tank piece by piece. It's only been 6 weeks, and I don't event have...

I’m preparing to put together my scape, has someone had any success using cement like Quikrete I was hoping to find something I could use locally. I’ve heard good things about MARCO E-100 which is what I will go with if I have to but was just reaching out for suggestions to something I could...
