Show me you 8’ aquascape!

[JGT]

8’ 240 gallon, old school wall of rocks. More places for corals, lotsa caves for fish. Never a fan of NSA, but to each his own.

Sorry for going backwards here, but I just noticed and have a question...
Why do they look like they're holding their breath?? You didn't do this with water did you? Lol

Should I have done it without water in the tank?

I do love the wall of rocks! Did you glue all the rocks together?

 

[Reefering1]

No glue, that's the beauty of the wall. Fit them together and balance it right, gravity will do the rest. And able to change scape or pull any rock.

Yours is beautiful! That’s definitely what I see in my head when I think of a reef in the wild.

I wish, That wasn't my tank

Ah my apologies haha. @JGT yours is beautiful!

Nope. All live rock. Just balanced on each other.

Ah my apologies haha. @JGT yours is beautiful!

Lol, thanks.

I don’t think my current scape will hold up very long

Looks like trouble in the long run. You might have to fend off boyfriendcanthus teenageri. I heard they're an invasive species.

lol

Waiting on a canopy to be finished. That will keep the outlet protected. Still may put an outdoor cover on. The 3 kids would take way more maintenance than I’m willing to put into the tank haha.

They always do...and it doesn't stop

My 8’ tank has two islands and one rock in the middle that the eels love to slide under!

Forgot the picture

Here’s my aqua scape for my 6 ft and a pic of it when it was in my 4 ft tank. It was originally in my 4 ft but I upgraded and wanted something very minimal. I will potentially add a third Island for more hiding spots and LPS.

Here is my 10' aquascape. Sorry its hard to see, I can try and get better pictures tonight.

Very unique looking aquascape!

lol

I know they are inevitable. Hoping that with the right dip I can keep them at bay!

 

[14 foot reef]

Probably going to tear down and reset my reef this winter. This was my tank reset in February 2018. Pic below.
Man I used way to much Real Reef Rock by Caribsea. Now that the tank is grown out, It's really obvious now, way too much rock !!!!! NO room for coral growth. Lesson learned the hard way

Thanks for the feedback!! I have read through your build thread more than once.

Started with 3 connected islands and moved all the rocks over from the holding tank. Tank dimensions are 8x3x2.5.
