Just saw your tank, and wow, great work with the rock. Probably the best rock work I have seen yet.

When I get my 75 back up again, I am going to try something inspired by yours.

I am aquascaping my 675 on Saturday. I am going to use your tank as inspiration. I will post pics on my build thread as soon as it is compete. Do you hire out? I am sure you have always wanted to come see Nashville, TN. Haa

Guys, sorry I haven't been on here for a while the tank is doing really well and everything is growing, actually growing a little too well. Some corals have been trimmed and or removed. I am contemplating whether or not I should break down but not any time soon. I will post some FTS up soon.

bonsai is a nice looking theme. id be too scared to glue my rocks and then it just falls apart crushing things

I am interested to hear how people think this style aquascape would work in a smaller cube? Something around the 20 to 30 range.

Though I would say this is a tank thread for crazy4acros' aquarium, there are numerous posts in the thread from other members with biocubes, Solanas, and similar smaller cubes who've executed it. Definitely looks a lot nicer to see a small space strategically filled with an interesting shape compared to a pile or wall of rock. The smaller the tank - the more your space is at a premium, so going smart for your scape makes the most sense

 

[crazy4acros]

Well said Crab. However I do feel that my Bonsai Aquascape has been complemented by the tank size. It allows for the 3 dimension and depth of the scape to be properly viewed. My scape is not only a bottom to top scape but also a back to forward scape. One thing to remember in order to successfully pull this type of scape off, it will need to be proportional to the size of the tank so the smaller the tank the smaller your bonsai or the less space from back to front the more 2 dimensional it will look. Most of the 20-30g do not have the proper depth to enhance the scape, not saying it cant be done but it will affect the way the scape looks.
