Here is my rockwork in a 55gal as the aquarium was starting:

And one year later:

Nice tank.

That's a great looking tank!!
Have learned so much just by reading the posts on this forum. There is a wealth of info here. Keep it up!!

New reefer here. Here is my first try. Roughly 30lbs. Thoughts?

The rock looks good but a moc up may help. Use card board and cut it to the shape of the bottom of your tank. Then position the rocks the way this thread recommends in the beginning or however you want them. Rubber bands are great for helping to hold a few together as you try out different ideas. Then post new pics of what you come up with. Good luck

I have rock, sand and water in the tank now. I will post a pic soon and let me know your thoughts.

Hi guys. Any feedback or suggestions before I finalize my aquascape?

rjjr1963 · 01/15/2017, 01:51 PM

The is the aquascape I made for a 40 breeder. This is a peninsula build. I think I want a little more sand bed between the two structures.

Any suggestions overall?

Here is what I came up with. Standard 180g, mostly BRS reef saver with a little pukani mixed in.

ooh, I like the little cave you have underneath the shelf

My big arch on the left is pressure fit. Like a keystone I cemented the 2 lower rocks on either side together then the middle one pressure fits

I really like the middle and right rock structures. I would consider leaving a larger gap between the leftmost rock structure and the middle one, as well as making the left rock structure taller than the rest 😊 good luck on your aquascape

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

Best I could come up with on my 90 cube. Pretty happy overall. I should have left the pillar on the left side more open but it's already held together with thermomorph so I'm sticking with it. I needed two areas for gigantea anemones high up so it limited what I could do a bit.

Its looking real nice 👍 i think if u take out that little rock on the sandbed u will enhance that minimalist style aquascape ur looking for. Dont forget to take into consideration what corals u want to keep and where they will need to be placed.

Could make the rock on the left more cove like.

Where are you getting these flat shelf like pieces? My LFS always has bulky rocks or coral skeleton look rocks.

Thank you, that's the only place I found as well but shipping to Alaska is so expensive from there.

ClownsRCoo · 02/02/2017, 01:03 PM

Here's my newest one. I wanted 1 big arch but the pieces I got just would work for that type of scape.
