Calling all you aquascape pros

[klavmaister]

I know there are many ultra professional aquascap people out there. anyone have any ideas, or good tips for my red sea reefer 250? Is there anything that just screams "just do this" or wish you had more corals of this type? I have thought little rock and that the corals will fill the aquarium over time. Tips for the most eye-catching tank possible are welcome

Well, I ain't a pro, as I come from a time where we just stacked rock on the back glass and went with it. But now that the 2lbs/g is not the norm anymore, one can ACTUALLY aquascape! Just make sure there are caves for however many fish you plan on keeping. Some overhangs are great too. You may have to drill into your rock and use little posts to secure the rocks together, but that would be a great thing to have as well.

Tank is looking really great! Probably no need to change anything!

If I was forced to be really nitpicky, I would say you need some corals in the sand bed in the front center. And I would switch out some of your green corals (especially if you have repeats) for a different color to add variety.

But again the tank looks great as is!!!

not a pro, but ive always liked the NSA type scapes. That can also help with minimizing amount of rocks being used.

I always think in terms of rock moving up and down and forward and back. It makes the most of negative space that way.

The more you do it, the better you get at arranging. A lot of times, I just move things around until it looks good.

Thank you, am thinking of selling some of the corals that i have a lot of, and buy other types
