Im having trouble aquascaping...

[Dsdaley77]

Here is mine, rescaled every month for the last year lol Almost done though, a little stabilizing epoxy and two towers on the left and should be satisfied, then it's time to let it all grow out

My Aquascape.

I tried to go with as much caves and caverns with the least amount of Live rock touching the sand floor due to my 4"deep sand bed. Ti was my 2nd change and I changed it once again and Im loving it. Its kinda of hard when you have 95lbs of rock but I love the end result and in the end in this hobby thats what its all about.

I made a scape myself but the caves are few. its as open as it possibly can but i need to get more lr. I only have 60lbs for 125 gallon. I was wondering how much i really should have. Some say 2lbs per gallon and some say 1lb per gallon. Im balling on a budget so dry LR is my choice of LR and BRS' pukani. Great tanks every1! They look beautiful! keep them coming!

 

[TaylorLee]

So i have come up with a whole new aquascape when i got the rocks into my tank. heres what it looks like!

Let me know what you guys think!

Taylor your Aquascape is outstanding!!!!! Its going to looks so awesome when your up and running I wouldnt change a thing about it!!! Great job, I was not really expecting that, is this your first time aquascaping?

 

[Steviereefs]

Yeah, the thing I like about it the most is how unique it is. I've not seen rock work like that yet and being that it so unique and bold, that combo is a real aquascape winner. Update us, when you get the tank filled and the water is clear through the lights on it and take a pic!!!!!

I would shift some things around just a bit, but that's based on type of specimens I would place. The top right section could flip and come towards the front and a little lower to build more of an up slope bridge (great water flow), and the other rocks at the base if moved just a bit would create a little more open space only other thing is to maybe shift it all to the left just a bit so its not so high right under your center brace, depending on your lights it could leave a little shadow up there

Sorry to disagree, let Taylor turn the lights on it first I think without the lights in its hard to see the depth of the rock work. I think its there without moving anything, Plus the cliffs give such a nice height dimension, it has great livestock potential. I think it has plenty of open space

 

[Steviereefs]

Large cave openings with that type of tall rock work is hard to achieve and Taylor did it.

 

[Dsdaley77]

You don't have to appologize that's the beauty of aquascaping, it's all a matter of opinion once you nail the basics. Like I said, the changes are just what I would do, for instance that top piece I would move would be to open that top right rock on the left side to put some sort of tableing Acro, like red planet or some type of plate

 

[Steviereefs]

I love red plant!! I completely understand where your coming from. Thanks for understanding. Your tank look very nice Btw, do you have a tank thread?

 

[Dsdaley77]

I think, it's not really something I'm overly satisfied with as most of the rock was given to me from a friend and I had no say on shape of his rocks lol

Yeah I love me some red planet too pretty close to real life but older pic before I figured out my camera phone

 

[Steviereefs]

Well its encrusted great, now it should start to reach up and get some nice growth!!!!

 

[Dsdaley77]

Still can't figure out how to make all the blue from my stunners go away

 

[Dsdaley77]

It's probably doubled in size (height) over about the last two months, not sure if that's fast or slow but I notice a difference
