Aquascape sux

OK i have tried searching but i cant find the thread that asks for 20L aquascaping. I am very adept at being unoriginal.


Help i look like a damn sand box....

thanks

Its hard to try to copy someone else's aquascaping unless you can find the same shape rocks. Just grab a few simi large boulder pieces, a few large flat pieces! Thats a good start to nice rockwork.

I am one of those people who just won't leave things alone, but I finally came up with a look that not only is appealing (at least to me), but also is functional:

here are some of my aquascaping tips:

Maintenance:

I like to leave enough room around the rock so that I can use my algae scrapper.

Stability:

I wanted my rockwork to interlock and be as stable as possible so kept moving things around until all of rock was secure.

Caves:

I formed small caves to provide some stress relief for livestock, however I made the cave such (not to deep, not too hidden away) that inverts (and the like) that do tend to hide can still be visible for my enjoyment.

Space:

I also wanted the rock such that fish had plenty of swimming space, so opted not to go for the 'rock clump'

Corals:

In the future I want to add corals, so i made sure my formation was as flat ontop as possible to give me lots of space.
