Also not sure if I qualify, but this is after a major clean up

 

[DT's_Reef]

Super clean, Cristian. I suggest you consider making your rockwork offset with your tank....and not have things centered and equidistant....to give it a more natural look.

Christian - I like the clean look. Nice aquascape. I think it looks fine, but not sure how you would make it off set unless you had another 2' of space.

 

[DT's_Reef]

You would change the rockwork rather than simply move it as is to one side.

 

[Electrobes]

Funny you should comment on the centered look. For some stupid reason I am very symmetrical. I wish I weren't, especially in this hobby, but it's a quirk of mine. :lol:

But.... I am actually changing out the left pile of rocks for a new pile. Maybe I can sucker my symmetrical half into making a change.

I only have about 50lbs of live rock.

This actually looks like a real cave to me from this angle!

Excuse the dirty glass I am in the process of cleaning that.

Here is mine, tank has changed quite a bit in terms of corals added but haven't had time to take an updated fts

 

[E.intheC]

really like the aquascape on that tank. Great job. Nice coral selection as well

holy smokes. That... is the most expensive setup i've seen so far... granted im a nub... but there sits a truck note.

homeboyreefer, that's an awesome aquascape... your 2-island scheme hits the spot!

I have a question about minimal scaping.... Since there's less rock in the display does that mean there's a need for rock in the sump?

Oh, and here's my new build..any suggestions on the scaping welcome.

Thanks.


... yes I made the rock will be adding sand this weekend, and still building my light fixture.
