If anyone has aquascape suggestions I’d love some inspiration!
I have a 300 gallon I'm upgrading to but made my own scape with gluemasters and crushed (powder) rock in my 125. I've added to it over time and will transfer it to the 300 but will need to build more. I would definitely add more flat areas than I did. This is mainly because I went acro dominate. I did, however, build it with lower flow down low and higher flow up top in mind which has worked well. As you can see by the racks...its time for a bigger tank.

Going to start posting weekly on my current build update. Might start a new clean thread:
Current update- after 90 days fallow after velvet here is the rebound. Everything has been 40+ day QTd with multiple rounds of prazi. Added the Achilles a few weeks ago, purple, yellow and blue hippo last night and have a gem tang in QT.

Here is my first real update to the 310g. Comment if you want to see anything in particular

Here is the current update:
Got velvet (again!), assuming 90 days fallow there was a mess up maybe mixed equipment, not sure. Either way I decided to treat the whole tank with copper as I have some friends that have done the same. (and yes I have a whole plan on removing copper - mixed reef in the near future)


Adding a gem tang to the acclimation box for just so he can get used to the purple and yellow as well as the other tangs.
Also added a rhomboid super male yesterday
