Aquascaping, Show your Skills...

How were the chalk bass? I'm thinking of getting a few.

They're great fish! Very peaceful and pretty. My three tended to stick together and stay out in the water column, but I don't think that is typical of the species.

Here are a few updated photos with the solar tubes in so you can actually see the rock work.

very nice!
Interesting top on your tank. IS it some kind of modified euro bracing or is it removable?

here's my 120g, sorry not too many corals. only 5 months old.

YelloJello, for only 5 months old your tank looks very well established and your aquascaping looks fantastic. I love the cave!!!

I just started a new 220 gallon build. My goal was to just get all my rock in the tank with flow and heat so that it could cycle while I was gone. After getting it in there I decided I might as well aquascape it, too. I tried to keep my two islands I had in the 120 as I was very proud of them, but I wanted a scape that had more balance and showed off the size of the tank. I came up with this (Thanks to Drummereef for the inspiration!):

This is my new favorite sand, CaribSea Seaflor Special Grade. The stuff looks good, settled in one day, and doesn't get blown around by my vortechs at 100%.

After the sand settled:

There is still room for improvement, as I am missing a fair number of my rocks right now (they either had corals or nems attached to them). As it is now it looks vacant but I keep telling myself to resist the urge to put any more rock in. Once all my corals grow in it will get crowded soon enough.

I'll post some better pictures once I get lights over the tank and when I get my dSLR back, but that might not be for a month or two.

After the sand settled:

Its been awhile so I thought I would update. Not too much different in the aquascape besides the right island, but I now have my corals and fish back as well as getting the DIY LED light set up going!

looking at al these amazing acuascapes gives me a better idea of what to do in in my tank.

[slattery]

[canesfan44]

WOW!!! You're tank looks amazing. It looks like a picture from the ocean. I'd love to see it in a year. :thumbsup:

 

[psiconauta]

here is my new 150g, its not the final product, im still experimenting with it a little and playing with lights and optics... i still need to put all my corals in...

it has a set of caves and a sort of bridge in the middle, but the left cave is a recreation of a cavern i saw on the GBR while i was scuba diving last summer...its really cool because fish hide inside but you can see them, and they have access from the front side and back.

Here is mine, nothing like some of the others
