Here's what mine looks like these days.
I guess it's more of a "coralscape" than an aquascape.

Fairly new setup, but aquascaped with SPS in mind. I wanted a lot of room for growth upwards and lots of overhangs/ledges. Sorry for the bad pics. Looks much better in person.

Good aquascaping involves the juxtaposition of colors and growth forms and, most importantly, balances positive and negative space in the aquarium.

I couldn't agree more with this comment. The old "less is more" idea seems to escape most reefers. The most beautiful setups are not jam packed with corals in every crevice.

I'm also confused by all the hard work someone will put into setting up a nice aquascape & then kill it with corals littered acrosss the front of the tank........or worse yet a frag rack in the corner.

What he said :)

Toyota guy: Looks nice! You need to adjust the whitebalance on your camera though ;-) It's kinda green-ish?
 
Tanks with a lot of corals are good too! There is a lot more to reef keeping than just mere aquascaping. Often we see a tank full of beautiful SPS. Well kept and healthy (Truly the biggest challenge).
What's our first reaction?

WOW!! Eye popping!

Hey Teach, a lot of large, nice colonies there. Nice tank!

Beautiful tank Kinetic.

Chris, do you now have a new tank? Those corals look awesome.

Any newer pics Gasman?

Thanks! Yes, the new tank is a 30x30 cube. No pics yet though.
 
Nice tank! What did u use on the top to keep those wrasses in? Any closer pics of it?

Thanks, its a window screen frame you build to fit the top of your tank and use garden netting for the screen. All can be bought at Lowes or Home depot cheap and easy.

It looks like you lose some light into the tank with that. Do you?

I am comparing the picture with it off and the pictues with the screening on.
