Minimalist Aquascaping

[DT's_Reef]

I decided to go with the minimalist approach on my new 120 i set up a few months ago. i like the look better and it allows more room for corals to grow. here's a pic from a few weeks ago of my minimalist aquascaping. i'll get an updated pic here in the next few days.

Is that a sea apple in your tank?

thanks for the compliments guys. the thing above the vortech is actually a sea cucumber that decided to crawl up the glass for some reason.

[Fireworm]

Sorry about the low quality, iPhone camera isn't exactly the best.

 

[Fireworm]

What size tank is that? And do you have any special plans for the middle of the tank?

 

[MazdaSPD3]

Its a 150, 5x2x2, and for the center I wanna toss up another LR wall but not so much end-to-end, enough so that both corners are easily accessible by my fishes still. If you notice the two rocks on the tank floor, thats probably where the center wall will stand in between. Hehe, guess it wont be so minimalist then...if its even minimalistic now.

Now...to find some nice LR for cheap!
