10g scape

[Jake_the_reefer]

I've finally got my 10g on track after a bumpy start. I redid the scape to try and make it more appealing. How can I improve this scape? I think it's interesting but could be improved?
Note the white rock is fully cycled that part was just face down in the sand bed so its white

It just doesnt look organic I feel

Seems a bit too bulky up top. Maybe make it slightly less symmetric!

I have to agree....looks too placed IMO. Also, you want to be careful using larger rocks of the same size in a small tank.....makes the tank look smaller than it needs to be. I would break up a couple of the rocks so you have more size diversity if that makes sense.

Yeah I'm going to re do it again I have a few other rocks laying around I can play with

Try using some glue and making a more minimalistic approach

I dont have any minimalist rocks at the moment all mine are bulky this is kind of the best I can do with what I have I can get better rocks but this will do the the moment

Looks perfect. You have a lot of room for growth. And perfect little hiding spot for fish. I love what fish of hex did with his rock which was take a hammer to the rock to make smaller pieces and glue them all together!

It does add a nice spot for growth

Here was my IM10. Its really hard to scape these most of them look them same to me. Hand picking nice rock is a must with small tanks.

Just do what I did and smash the big rocks up and glue them all back together. That's what I did for my fluval evo 13.5 and my sons 7 gallon tank.
This is the fluval.

and my sons little 3 year old 7 gallon

Wow. Im struggling right now with this. You are braver than I am! What type of glue are you using?

 

[Nicholas Dushynsky]

I used gorilla super glue gel. I used a little spray water bottle to help cure the glue faster. This is the scape a year later.

Have you found it limits you at all from doing any sort of placements or having flexibility at all?

I made them into 2 different structures and was only using it as a nem stroke lower flow tank for my bubble coral as didnt like the flow in my main tank. There are loads of hole in the rocks and ledges to place corals as I did have loads of hammer corals in there while I was selling them.this is the top down shot so theres alot of space for corals. Also be such an open structure and only a few point of contact on the base it should allow alot of flow in and around.

I took a hammer to my rock. Thank you for giving me the courage. Literally dropping it in the tank randomly to keep it wet, it looks better that the boulders did.
