Just got a 60x18x24 tank, and was looking to get some aquascape ideas, so if anyone could post some pics of their tanks that are 18" wide, that would be greatly appreciated.

Mine goes all the way up to and leans on the back wall. Just make sure to leave channels that go from front to back and up/out, and set up your powerheads appropriately so that there continues to be flow with no dead spots. If you look at the photos, you'll see that I oriented the rocks front to back rather than side to side to allow for front to back flow.

This might show the aquascape better, before all that coral:

Thanks for the tips. I think I'm going to go with a fairly minimal aquascape. I really really like this rock work. It's a member here, but they haven't been on in a few years, but I can see this setup working it real well.

Sounds good. You need to remamber minimalist rockwork in means you still have to provide adequate biofiltration elsewhere since you will not have enough rock in the DT. Unless you plan on minimalist livestock as well. GL!!
