Aquaacape suggestions

Scott1071 · Jul 23, 2020

Here is what I cane up with for an aquascape for a biocube 32 it is 19 lbs of dry live rock by MarcoRocks. At some point I might go higher on the left side. As it stands it is 17" L x 14" W x 9" high at its tallest point. The dementions of the biocube 32 is 20.25 L x 21.875 W x 21.5 H. Looking for suggestions if it looks ok or should I change it before I glue pieces together?

I like going high by placing a high growing coral like a gorgonian.

I think it would also be easy to add another plate or two later that are higher....depends on lights and what your trying.

Here are some pics of it higher could always place this towards the back and do a short one near the front of the tank as well??

Honestly, if it's 9 or 10 inches tall and you put two acro on top w the depth of that tank, your good unless your under par.

What's your intent w the tank?

I plan on doing mostly Montis, Chalice, Acan, Favia, Maybe a Hammer and Trumpet. I will be using the stock lights to start with and then will upgrade in a few months.

I plan on upgrading to a Kessil A160WE in the near future. I was going for the more flat surfaces for the corals such as Montis, Chalices, Favias, Acans, Maybe some Stylos. Not looking at High light Acros.

This is what I decided to go with, I think it looks pretty good and not to man made. The piece in the front on the bottom of the tank can be moved if I need too. There are a lot of swim throughs and hiding place in the scape. Let me honestly know what you think.
