If you don't mind me asking what kind of live rock did you use?
I just got a brand new Rimless 150 from SC Aquariums that has been custom built for a 20'' External Overflow box from Synergy to give me room for my Aquascape. Anyhow, I have about 90 lbs of Tonga Branch and Marshall Island rock that I will be using.
 
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.

If you don't have a Frag tank like most of us where would you for us to put them mate? It does not matter how many corals or frags you have in your tank it's all about positioning of the Aquascape. I now talking jamming the tank with live rock and just throwing your corals on your rock. Here is a pic of my old tank since i am getting ready to plumbing my new SC 150 with a Synergy Overflow box.

Way too much Live rock on that tank mate in my opinion?

You're quoting post that are over a year old and a thread that is dead because Photobucket ruined it. Just wanted to fill you in if you wondered why people are not responding to you.

Don't cut the frags unless you're going to give/sell them to someone. It's what I did when I didn't have a frag tank.

It's okay to have a rack for new purchases or to temporarily house a coral till you move it out, but all too often the racks become a permanent fixture in the tank.
 
Mike,scape looks really nice man:thumbsup:
The only thing i would maybe change,is that i would love that alone island on the right to be 50% smaller in size to make it look even more distant from the rocks at the back,if you know what i mean.
Other than that i really like it:)
 
Looks like you're heading the right direction.
Here's my opinion, but do what makes you happy :thumbsup:

Thanks for doing this. I plan on adding height on the top by putting the stags there. Not sure if this is the right thing to do. There was an island on the left corner which I took out. I might put it back.

Thanks. So what appears to be an island is actually a peninsula. I can definitely turn to an island and make it smaller. I will try and see how it looks. Thanks again!
