I'm sure that island on right must be on a rod and platform for stability.

Google searched his name and found this: http://www.reefedition.com/reef-spot...farm-elos-160/

Great squascape my next tank will be similar to this

This tank belong to Mr. Chingchai Uekrongtham (in Thailand). If you have been following his amazing tank at his house which sadly has been taken down and now being rebuild at his new restaurant. I hope it's ok with him to share his amazing aquascape and rock works.

He dose not post much on RC anymore but you can follow his current build on Facebook.

dancewithethan · 07/27/2016, 01:08 PM

Here some more better pictures.

Again, I hope it's OK with him that I share these pictures.

From the pictures, it looks to me braced/mounted on acrylic bar that run across the top of the tank. It looks like it serve the purpose of hiding the power heads. I think the ideas hear is to hide all mechanical and electrical as much as possible.

Jndragon79 · 07/28/2016, 12:23 PM

wow, that's impressive. it looks like a replica of Magneto's asteroid M

Rebuilding my 100g island. Here's a shot from one side of the aquascaping. Used acrylic rods to get the desired look I wanted.

This is my planned scape for a red sea reefer 525xl using Real Reef Rock

vikinglord13 · 08/10/2016, 10:27 PM

That looks like a fun aquascape. You didn't get away with that without using epoxy or anything did you?

Salty150 · 08/11/2016, 09:34 AM

How many pounds of real reef rock is that?

It is not actually epoxied yet, it is just balancing as i was trying to get the perfect scape. I have labelled every piece and dismantled until my tank arrives.

Looks good

basjacobs · 08/13/2016, 08:04 AM

Almost ready for reef restart because the tank is too full now. Still need to finish the base plate with pvc lime and live sand.

SFish · 08/13/2016, 08:37 PM

Cool rock

pvc foam board, dremel tool with sanding band piece like these one: https://www.dremel.com/en-us/Accesso...spx?catid=2044. Last part was adding pvc glue and coral sand to cover up the white pvc foam board.

Hi everyone, this is an awesome thread. I'm pretty new to the hobby. I've only had my tank going for about a year and a half. I've unfortunately lost most of my corals due to inadequate lighting. But i've grown bored of my rock work and have been considering changing it up. I like what i have currently but i think i want a change, figuring with my lack of corals now would be a good time. I'd love some opinions on what i currently have and perhaps some suggestions on a change. Its a 65 gallon btw. Thanks!
