Aquascape...what do you think?

Steve Maxwell · Dec 28, 2015

Hello,

Getting a little further along on my new 75G set up. I got some dry rock from reefcleaners.org and have been messing around with a layout. What do you think? Excuse the poor pics...

combined...goes about 3/4 to top of tank.

Might try to add a bit more height to the middle of the left piece...but not sure...

The right side looks good. The left side looks a little unnatural to me. Just my opinion. I would suggest putting the bigger rock in the middle top of the left side on the bottom and instead of making the large flat rock on the left angled up like that try and make it more of an level overhang.

Look up "Tips and Tricks on how to Create an Amazing Aquascape" on r2r. It helped me out a lot. Hopefully it can help you, especially since you are not off to a bad start.

yeah...I've worked on this for awhile and liked it...then really didn't like it...changed it...liked it...then really didn't like it.

Gonna rip it apart this weekend and try again after looking that the Tips & Tricks posts

Thanks!

Just remember what's amazing to one is not to another. It's your build your vision and its your home it will be in. Do what you think looks good what you like and you will be happy.

Its hard to see the depth, and whether or not you've left ledges, and shelves to mount corals with the pics. Sometimes you can get a better result drilling the rocks, and using rods to build columns, and ledges that wouldn't stand up otherwise, and this is the easiest time to do it while its still dry.
