How are the Tonga branches supported to stand up? In 6.jpg?

I have a Reefer 750.

Here is the first draft of my aquascape. I have a picture of the whole thing then one of the left, right and center. I also have a picture of the side view of each side. The green tape on the wall is the top of my tank. I still have plenty of rock left over so let me know if you see any available upgrades. I plan on cramming this full of corals. Mixed Reef for sure .

Started recurring all of my Old Ultra Fiji and my Tonga Branch live rock.
I am hoping it will be ready before my Synergy CL-44 Sump gets fished up.

First pass on my new scape for my 100 gallon SPS tank using Marco shelf, foundation and reef saver rock. Thoughts / ideas?

I like it!
looks like it will handle high flow well.
I just ordered 80lbs of @reefcleaners rock today.
I'll post my scape in here once I start.

I made this aquascape in nov. 2016. This was my first saltwater tank. I was pleased then, but problems are turning up now, because the the rocks are simply to massive, and now takes up to much space, so now the coral growths is limited next time I will leave more space for coral growth.

Hi all, I’m building a new system 80 gal. I plan to run T5, radion xr15 pro. I still building my light fram by aluminum 80/20 and the hydrib fixture should have around 8-10 in on top of the water surface. My system will rum mix reef ( mostly sps). Do you think it still too low for sps??.

Here is what I started with about two years ago. Got a bit carried away with the artsy aspect and branch rocks making nice design flow without thinking about coral placement.

After getting some unwanted infestations and having a need to relocate a very large tiger pistol shrimp I ended up starting over. The old scape was OK for fish but lacked the surfaces I wanted for corals. I also wanted to add some more hiding places for fish. Here is the current tank.

Now i just need some branching corals!
