Very nice - can you show us a full tank shot? Can't wait to see when that grows out.

afex · 10/08/2008, 09:52 PM

here is my currently dry aquascape.

i feel it's minimalistic given the size of the tank. (~50 lbs of rock for a 36x36x24 tank)

Santoki · 10/09/2008, 05:50 AM

thanks,
as the corals grow I plan to remove the rocks at the base and put them in the sump. The goal is to have large colonies and almost no rock work visible. Now the hard part is the waiting.

skey44 · 10/09/2008, 09:34 AM

there is a full tank pic of it on the previous thread and in my build thread.

thank you this thread has a lot of potential!

areze · 10/12/2008, 08:17 AM

finally a pic of mine. I tried to keep it light and open. wanted it to be full of water, not rock. but with character and room for corals.

Solisimo · 10/12/2008, 09:27 AM

My 90g, not much rock. I dont like to load it up because I love to see the fish swim aroundand through it.

ozkrogh · 10/12/2008, 09:34 AM

Still in the process of setting up my tank but here's the base rock I've added thus far:

bumping. Nice tanks everyone. Anyone else?

cabrego · 10/22/2008, 04:54 PM

Here is my tank in it's early stage!

miniwhinny · 10/22/2008, 05:30 PM

Just setting this up this week so it's empty. 20H SPS only. Approx 9lb of LR, BB, phoenix 14,000k 150 MH, approx 1600gph of flow.

mrpet · 10/22/2008, 05:33 PM

Here are pics from setting up my 375, back wall is also handy foamed. thanks

Untamed12 · 10/22/2008, 06:42 PM

I think my aquascaping would qualify as very open/minimalist. I thought it would take years and years for it to fill in...but it has grown tremendously in less than 2 years.

April, 2007....

Aug, 2008

asnatlas · 10/22/2008, 06:54 PM

Untamed12, very nice looking... Do you have a build thread or more info on your tank ??

asnatlas · 10/22/2008, 06:56 PM

nm, I found this

uhuru · 10/22/2008, 07:32 PM

untamed, your tank has always been one of my favs and will be part of the inspiration for my newest setup

luv951 · 10/22/2008, 08:00 PM

Man, those are nice tanks.

Untamed - simply beautiful tank. Any problem with sand storms having that much open sand? How much flow would you say that you have in the tank?

Mrpet - I am leaning toward doing something very similar with my tank. I like the foam wall, but want minimalist in the open areas. Very nice!

Very nice tank.
Would love to see close-up shots of your corals.
