Rock work

A scape gone wrong

A scape gone wrong

The overfow boxes left to dry , the forgotten.





One principle;

its not because you have a small tank that you should use small rocks; on the contrary use big rocks, you'll have less aquascape to do. It'll feel more massive, cohesive, fluid, and when you put frags on its wont look like a pile of rubbles. Unlike this image.

Second principle;

Why show off your worst appendix, like the overflow, in this image , the overflow look like a drive-in , we don't look at the aquascape but all eyes are focused on the blue screen soon to be patchy with ugly smears of coraline.
When doing your rock work cover that part as part of your rockwork soon to be covered with corals and it will disapear within the reef like the next picture.

Although not everything is perfect in this tank, he clearly made the effort to hide his overfow box by intergrating it into his scape and being a growing tank when fully grown it will be totally hidden from are eyes. He will also need better flow disposition to clear up his tank....lol i took this picture because its a growing tank and we can still see the overflow box before its cover up.

Since my intent was not to create an aquascaping thread when i started i find the present title of the thread sort of misleading so i'm continuing this thread in this one more appropriately called,

Aquascaping and Rockwork made simple with visual guidelines and videos.

See you here next time. You can post your question there, thanks.

A spliting anemone caught on video , frame by frame photography really clear perfect view she split on the glass so we see all her organs become two. Spectacular. Also protecting your anemone.
