aquascape

This is my first reef tank, I had a fowlr years ago and loved it but I was young and inexperienced and broke. I'm finally diving back in and would love some advice on what I have as an aquascape. Any improvements or ideas are welcome ( and I would love to hear if you just like it as well). I...

Sand bed depth seems to be a topic that breeds strong opinions and devoted followers of very different approaches as revealed in the following series of posts, among others. (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/pros-vs-cons-deep-sand-bed-vs-shallow-sand-bed.87740/) However, does one approach...

If you could design a “new” series of tanks for the RedSea Reefer series, what would they look like and what features would they incorporate?

Silly little video I made about thinking of aquascaping from a design perspective. Expanding on it more and different coral placement techniques in my upcoming content but just wanted to share :) I know my stuff is pretty goofy but hopefully it helps in some way!

Hey guys, I’m setting up a new 120 aqua Japan (4x2x2) aquarium in a week or two (waiting on the crate). In the meantime me and my girlfriend have been working on an aquascape and would love some feedback and opinions. The floor space of the aquarium is around the same size as the black mat on...

Building a new aquascape in my 100g and I want to add a mushroom garden in the front low portion of the tank, my initial thoughts are to build marina type rock structure around them to minimize the flow on them. Looking for inspiration, ideas and pictures, please:)

Here is my Waterbox Cube 20 aquascape. Any suggestions or comments?

So I have a JBJ45 that's been running for a little over 6 months now and trying to get ideas on corals and placements I can add on with. I'm wanting to add to my reef and honestly pretty open to ideas! I'm planning for the bottom middle to have a clam, just waiting till I really felt...

So I built this scape and was really excited about it, because I wanted something tiered that was easy to put frags on. Now that it is in the tank I'm worried about coverage and if the top tier is even usable because I'd say it's maybe 9" to 6" at tallest point below water line. My original...

Introduced to R2R at Reef Stock Denver. Had a 100g leak and my friend gave me a 130g for $free.99. Thanks Brian! Just resealed and plumbed. Considering auqascaping options. I like the elevated tree like look.

Hello! As I make my first post here, I am also patiently waiting for my new Waterbox 130.4 (48”x24”x22”) to arrive next month. Before I mortar my MarcoRocks aquascape, any thoughts, comments, or opinions would be greatly appreciated! Highest shelf is 12” high. Thanks!

Hello! As I wait for my first saltwater tank to arrive (Waterbox 130.4), this is my first post on this forum. Any thoughts, opinions, suggestions, regarding my Marcorocks aquascape before I mortar would be greatly appreciated!

Here is one of my caves in my 120. I think it’s for stressed or skidish fish to hide. What’s your take on caves and if they are necessary or not?

Hello all! I started a new tank build yesterday on a 65 gallon tank with a 20 gallon sump. I’ll update as I go, but here are the pictures so far. So fricken excited!!

I’ve rearranged my aquascape a few times already. I never seem to be happy with the way it looks. Now I’m curious to see how anyone else’s may look! Please share how yours looks and the inspiration behind it!

Hey guys, so I'm about to work on my second tank and could use some advice on dry rock. Personally, I prefer dry rock method. It's a little slower, but it avoids any unwanted pests, and since this is going to be a frag grow out tank, I'd like to avoid any possibility of pests or problems...

Hello everyone. New to reef life but been in the freshwater game for a long time. New things to learn switching over but I'm sure I'll learn alot here. Hope one day to have a successful tank one day. Just got red sea 650 peninsula and cant wait to get started. Began to aquascape so let me...

So I had bought some aquarium safe silicone the past week and i feel like it will work pretty well if i put a lot in between the cracks. I am sceptical though because if i out a heavier rock somewhere in the middle and possibly off to the side of another, would it not become top heavy? Does...

I just wanted a few ideas for a scape for a 20 long that I will have a lot of LPS, zoas, and mushrooms on. please post a few pictures of you nano tank for some ideas. Thanks!

Hello, I'm setting up a reef tank. I'm not exactly sure what I plan on keeping in this tank, but It will definitely include torches, hammers, zoas and anything else i see that I like, i guess. I have a 120~ish gallon corner tank, that is in the shape of a diamond. i Just threw all this rock in...

Hi all, I am starting a brand new nano Reef in a fluval Evo 13.5. I have never done a salt water tank so this is a new experience and I could definitely use any and all help. I would like to ask all of your opinions on the aquascape I made. It is about 11-12 lbs of live rock. I am wondering if...

Hey R2R fam! I'm still fairly new to the hobby and am finally getting the hang of most things. Currently reading a lot about dosing and corals. But this question is regarding my aquascape/flow. Sorry for the blue picture but that is my current aquascape. My return pump is blowing from the...

Hello! I’m helping my college’s marine biology club set up a new reef tank. All of the hardware is in place (tank/stand/heater/wave makers/etc.) but we still need live rock, fishies, inverts, and corals. Students are going to be working with it, so no expert-only critters or anything with crazy...
