First saltwater aquarium. Aqueon 75 gallon tank.
First time aquascaping. Worked in this for a couple of weeks little by little. Super glued with accelerator and then used epoxy to make it super strong.
Let me know your thoughts.

Pieced this together with a mix of rocks I had in the basement. I used a lot of aquastix and super glue to get them all together. It all comes out in one piece and will be transfered to my new tank (300 or 350 reefer) when I make the upgrade. It has lots of small holes for the fish to swim in and out of.

This was photo of my tank last December when I filled the tank.

I added 2 pieces of Tonga branch to tie the 3 islands together. Thoughts? Keep or go back to original 3 islands.

A new tank I just setup.. 8 foot 30w 23h… I had a lot of branching Tonga and some Fiji to play with.. I’m super happy how it came out. Just wanted to share. Only did one half for now.. moving the livestock from a 100g into the other side soon.

My very very basic scape rofl. Will add more rocks as I upgrade tank through years to lift higher.

So this tank took a full freshwater dip. Over 5 months ago. It was doing good until there was a mix up and I did a 100 percent water change with RO/DI water. So here is the new scape been running for almost 5 months. Was hoping to get some live rock at macna from Tamp bay live rock for back corner. Unfortunately macna was canceled.

Good idea for new forum. Many people have questions related to aquascaping and we all love pics. I would not consider myself a great or even good aquascaper but I have had a lot of practice at it. Setting up several personal tanks and doing tank installs and maintenance gave me that practice. Here are my last 2 tanks, well what few pics I have left of them last pic is right before that tank was taken down

. Im setting up a new tank now and aquascaping should be happening in the next few months. Hunting for good LR now.
I would suggest the place in Tampa Bay. Cannot remember the name, but I’m sure someone here remembers. They come highly recommended!

Trying out some layouts for my Evo 13.5. I plan to move my 2 Black Ice Clownfish, yellow watchman and Randall's assessor into the tank and I have a few frags of Micromussa lordhowensis, Rasta, GSP, Favites pentagona, Duncanopsammia axifuga to place in the tank. The green tape is the Evo display footprint and I plan to push the islands a bit closer together to get them further from the glass. How does this look?

I really need some help with my layout! I'm kinda limited with the pieces I have to work with. Biggest challenge is that my tank is SO narrow! As you can see from the tape line in the mockup, I can't get any decent distance from the glass without losing open space in the sand. Back wall of the tank is against a wall, making viewing impossible. I'm focusing on the view from the other 3 sides. Trying to make enough caves, hiding spots, overhangs (don't have shelf or flat pieces), spots for coral, etc. And still have negative space, open swimming area, and some open sand bed. All in 11" x 34" floor space. Any suggestions, please?

First 2 photos are my current attempt so far
Last 3 are my first attempt, before realizing the rock was filling the whole space, and I didn't like the aesthetic

I’m here to post an old school SUPER heavy bottom stacked rock scape. I love it so far. Can’t wait to grow it in and have my fishy friends enjoy.
