Help To Build A Dream Anemone & Host Fish, Crab & Volcano Tank.

[ClownBubbaJoe]

I have a extra 93g rimless cube that I may turn into a Anemone tank, but NOT just a Bubble Tip,....tank. Having one species of Clownfish is fine to stay away from fighting, unless fish like Skunks etc can be peaceful with others ?

Now for the fun part, trying to be artistic and build a "volcano rock" using I think, the BRS white dead rock, which I have buckets of. I also have white dead Tonga Branch rock, but I don't know if I/we can figure out how to use it in a volcano motif ?

I'm NOT artistic, so I'm having trouble with the vision and accomplishing what I want. It must,...not look like a pile of turd rock or like someone looking at it saying, "oh, that is a volcano" ? Ya know, lookin' like a pile of my Boxer dog (edit, sorry profanity is not allowed).

I think this tank is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen !
I'm looking at the middle portion as a volcano, the vegetation etc.

Volcano,....kind of ???

I’m horrible at aquascaping so, I can’t help a whole lot. But, I think the idea is fantastic.

@vlangel is very artistic. Maybe she has some ideas?

Black pond foam will hold rocks in a shape like that.

Oh, she’ll respond when she’s online. That’s why I tagged her

I can't draw a straight line, let alone a stickman !
And, I don't have one artistic cell in my brain.

I’m not sure if the images will show for you (they don’t for me), but here’s another Volcano tank:

With that said, for fish swim room, I’d try to use tonga branch as a base and then could use the white rock as the “mountain”. The vegetation will take a bit to fill in.

If you want it to have a volcano like “effect” you could run your ATO tube through the back and up to the top and have the water “run” down like lava into the tank.

I can tell you the first display tank you show has a variety of macro algae’s and numerous mangroves in the tank and on the mountain and driftwood branch, looks like air plants, bromeliads and ferns.

Not sure how much it helps but hope this helps some!

I’m pretty sure those are Photobucket pictures that were lost when Photobucket started charging.
