Minimalist Aquascaping

[justinky]

I just reaquascaped this weekend, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I just need to clean up the extra frags I have around my tank .

The idea is to only work with one pilar on a PVC Foam board. Materials used Fiji rock dead, PVC Foam, Tie-rips, Epoxy, Speedglue and Keramikkleber.

Almost done...

This is awesome!

Looks really good, have a build thread for the tank?

Aquascaping a long tank is difficult, I made a first pass:

Full tank shot

Left side

Right side

View thru port hole

View from back

Feedback please?

Here's my 90G. Always loved the open valley look, and still trying to get that perfect setup, but I'm pretty happy with this for now.

Try angling the two structures on the left side of the tank towards the right/back making the valley go diagonal instead of straight. You may have to play with the front rocks to get it right. If you have any questions on what I mean I can draw something when I get home.

Your 'scaping + fish selection makes the tank look bigger than 90G. Very nice!

I don't know if this is considered minimalist, but I tried to avoid stack upon stack inside the tank.

Inspired by this thread, i removed alot of rocks and tried to get as much minimalist look as i could without compromising too much on hiding place for fish

That's an awesome scape

That's an awesome scape

I agree!

But please, get rid of all those frag plugs! Distracts from the nice 'scape.

Beautiful job Andre - Looking forward to following your build.

Here's a twist on minimal aquascaping...None - at least no rock. (build thread)
