well done :thumbsup: that balance is just right.... someone finally gets it

That's simply amazing.

I agree about finally getting it. If I could do it all over again there is no doubt this would be something I would shoot for.

What are the dimensions of the tank? The deeper tanks leave so much more room for stuff along these lines.

Was this done with live rock? Just take it out, drill it, install the rods, epoxy it and put the corals back in? My wife will not like the fact I have seen this thread.

I really like the "before" aquascape. I love the after. Both are very well done.

Bravo!

 

[nismo driver]

that is really cool and i bet all that open space makes it easy to get more then enough water movement around the corals.

 

[mcliffy2]

This is one of the best aquascapes I've seen. I will definitely be looking at this for inspiration on my new tank.

 

[mcliffy2]

I do have a question. One thing that has been worrying me when I transfer rock from my old to new tank has been what to do with all my acros that are encrusted on my rock. Did you break yours off and re-attach, or just work with them in place?

 

[crazy4acros]

Once again thank you all for your kind words you guys are awesome! broke1 yes they are live rock, i kept a damp towel on the rock especially ones with corals already attached. The tank is 36x36x24 and my wife also hated the wet floors and tables when i did mine hahahaaa.

 

[Fliger]

WOW! Easily one of the best I've ever seen. I never took you up on aquascape 101 because my tank was in such flux. But I would LOVE to see your tank, and possibly meet you at AZSB and you can help me. I have two rock formations and I'd love to have some outcroppings like you have! I haven't the slightest where to start.

Totally outstanding!

 

[invincible569]

Very nice! I really love it. Its perfect.

 

[crazy4acros]

Hey Fliger hows it going? Thanks buddy, i'd love to see your tank as well. We will definitely have to meet up sometime.

 

[crazy4acros]

WOW invincible569 thank you very much, your tank has had a lot of influence on mine. That really means a lot coming from you! I appreciate it.

 

[NewSchool04]

Very nice, I'm a big fan!

 

[old salty]

Very nice and very unique. The aquascaping in my tank was inspired by the cypress trees that I saw when I drove through Alligator Alley in Florida.

 

[crazy4acros]

old salty, Very unique love it! there is just something about trees that inspires a natural look huh.

 

[Purple Haze]

Very nice.

 

[Big E]

That looks awesome..............I like your original design a lot too, but the new design gives it an original look & a cut above. One of the few that understand it's about design & not the corals.

 

[jamesdawson]

Very Clean! Awsome aquascaping man. Love the graceful arches that almost look like their floating in the water column.

by the way, its BONSAI (not bonzai) and its pronounced
"bone-sigh"

Very nice looking though!

[crazy4acros]

Thanks Robbie for the correction, i just know Bonsai or "bone-sigh" is the miniature trees Mr Miyagi or "mee-yah-gee" works on. Hahahahaaa lol Thank you all for your positive comments i really appreciate it! I now feel better about the decision i made to re aqascape my tank.

 

[norwall]
