Aquascape 125 Mix Reef

VetReefer · Jan 17, 2019

Trying to get some ideas on how to set up the rock work for my 125 set up. I'd love to see other people pics

welcome to R2R. check out my build page. Dont worry to much about your aquascape as it may change for a couple reasons. Whether it be it collapses or you have to chase a tang and move rocks to get her out. I have a 110. Mine is taller than yours. I wish i had a longer rather than taller. I was in a space restriction so I had to go tall to go big. I like to have caves and bridges. Some fish like to hide and need a safe place to go sometimes. I have changed mine 4 times in a year. So it doesn't hurt to try a couple different things. My build thread is on the bottom of my quote.

I always liked the idea of 3 separate structure in that size tank with swimming room inbeteeen the structures. You may just have to play with it and find what you like best.

If you are on mobile you can turn your phone sideways and people build links will show up.

If you plan on having corals you will want to plan for places to put them as well. But like I said I changed my many times in the beginning and then accidentally a couple times after that.

Also just google "aquascape reef tanks" and try to get some ideas from there. But be original and make it yours. All rocks are shaped differently and fit together differently. So you will have to try different combinations. Some like to build the aquascape before putting it in their tank to see if they like it..

I appreciate all the help and advice. This is how I have my 120. I'm definitely leaning towards a mix reef and been thinking about the scape for the sps. Because it will need to be higher in the tank

I like the idea of stacking it high in the back and the coming down to a low spot in the front. Gives you different areas down the rockwork to place frags.

I'm definitely going with a mix reef. I'll be running 3 radions. May add t5 hybrid later

And that should give the tank some depth also

Mine isn’t the same dimensions as I have a half round but I just redid my rocks work due to moving and really like how I have it tiered from back to front.

Do you have a picture of it?
