brandoncoelho30 · 06/27/2016, 02:04 PM

Does anyone have or know where i can find pictures of a good aquascape in a pentagon tall tank? I have searched but have found very little, i want to have a great aquascape but dont know where to start.

Well.. google images has quite a bit..
But.. aquascaping for the most part is highly personal..

Its supposed to be a fun/experience.. Build it up.. see if you like it.. if not adjust until you do..
Leave a few holes/tunnels,etc..

Just have fun with it.. Don't try to copy anything..
Its YOUR tank.. Have fun..

I've never seen a pentagon tank. I'm guessing it's square-ish, like a cube in some ways? Maybe look for how people scape cube type tanks vs long tanks, to get ideas.

Good idea but its hard to think of something thats not gonna take up the entire tank and be as tall as i need it for sps

Your probably not going to find much for an odd size tank like that. Your pretty much going to end up making up your own thing. Depending on the amount of space it will probably be tough. You need 18" of width or more to work the foreground and background. Maybe look at nano scaps. Could do some kinda 3D wall.

I think your best bet in a tall but narrow tank is to do a sloping rock wall or pillar.

Thats kind of what i was thinking, i painted the back yesterday let it sit over night and got it up on the stand this morning before work, hoping to go friday to LFS to do a little aquascape there to see what im bringing home.

I think a rock slop that tapers from the front of the tank to the back as it goes up is probably your best bet. Throw in some caves along the slope and it will be beautiful when it fills in! 👍

Done deal, i might just do that, i really wanted to do a journal on the tank but i really wouldnt even know where to start lol im taking a short cut cause its really just a tank transfer, im using the water and rock but will be adding more rock and more water volume, so the tank will already be cycled and everything, i wanted to start from scratch but i dont really have time too do the whole cycle and clean rock and all

I would do two 3D rock walls on that
