Trying to hard
Let me know what you think of this setup. It's only 12g - 35.4" x 8.3" x 9.1". I have also been putting these ideas into my system. My only challenge is that my setup will not have a sump so I have tried diligently to keep the equipment hidden as well.
I like it, keep that sand bed nice and white. Creates a lot of negative

No feedback? Sucks? I can take it.
So I finally got off my butt and made it happen. What do you guys think?
No water so far.. but its getting there.

What type of tank do you plan to have? That sure is a deep sandbed.

Hmm What type of tank? saltwater
What are you looking for?
The sandbed ranges from 4-6 inches max.. once the water gets in it should compress and level out around 4-5".
Goal is a deep sandbed with plenty of life in it.

Couldn't be happier.
By far one of my favorites. I'm not a fan of the minimalist look, but to each their own. This goes beyond minimalist. Nice full scaping. Not quite as tall or full as I'm going for in my 6'er, but very nice indeed. Just be sure to keep us updated as things really start to grow out!!

I just went though this whole thread, I love all the Aquascaping pictures!! Here's some shots of my aquascape, I tried to follow the rule of thirds but I think I need to tweek it a little more. Sorry they are so blue. . .

Another of my favorites. Nice and full, lots of definition in the scaping. Plenty of swimming, hiding, and coral placement room. Love it.

This is wicked!! Just one thing, is there somewhere for the frag rack? It just seemed to draw my eye. Maybe it's just me.

What a fantastic thread, i tried to do my best to incorporate the concepts and flow to redesign my rockwork. Would appreciate any input or suggestions, my corals (and fish) are not too happy about me moving them over and over. Thanks much!
Another of my favorites. Great height and well defined. Other's may say different, but I would not change a thing. Just my opinion, and we all know what those are like...

Beautiful tank.... What kind and size of sand is that?

Finally got to a real computer. I guess my point is for those building a full reef don't forget to consider the colors and forms of the final colonies or at least what you hope they will look like after a few years : )
