Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

You know, I've been doing the exact same thing for my build, been staring at scapes all night long, particularly the floating landscapes...

Yes! Some of those are awesome!

@JoshH are you going to use tonga style?

I'm not actually a huge fan of the Tonga styled rock... I have a couple ideas I've been tossing around in my mind and I'm sure those will change when all the rock shows up

I cannot wait to see what aquascapes all of you come up with!

I can wait a bit cause it will probably involve a lot of cursing and smashing $#!t with a big hammer...

 

[Katrina71]

This is not floating, but beautiful.

 

[Katrina71]

This is a cool masculine minimalist look.

Building a free-standing wall in a tank (that looks like it's made of rock)

Our new big tank will have, roughly, a 6 foot x 4 foot footprint (x 2 feet high). For several reasons, I want to have a partial false back in this tank - basically, a 3 foot long wall that will be about a foot or so from the back center of the tank. This will serve as a raceway of sorts for...

So far mine has only involved some glued fingers and raw fingertips. I put rocks together and tweak them for a while before I secure them.

I don't care for true floating scapes. Something about it is like looking at a bed without a bed skirt.

Here's the wall finished in all it's glory.
wish I was ambitious enough to tackle this because in person it looked so F word cool I don't have words for how amazing that wall system would be for coral and fish.

All credit goes to Bill Capman at Augsburg University in Minnesota.
That is his work and is in his classroom.

 

[Katrina71]

That's a cool concept!

I agree, I was thinking of a modified version but it will have to wait until I get some rock in to actually play around with it

Almost looks like "Live Rock: The Board Game!"

There is one reefer here that has a floating scape in a peninsula tank and it looks great. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

With a closed loop I could see designing all of the pipes and rock like that.

@Fin like that new icon. Days hours seconds to retirement

Ideas on floating aquascape

Not completely floating but somewhat raised aquascape with small foot print at the bottom.

Reefscape 170gal floating shelves with acrylic rods

Here is a sample of my reefscape. Still tinkering on a few things.. I’ll hide the acrylic rods once I put in tank. Check out the floating shelf that I am going to crazy-glue to my overflow box. Has anyone done this before? FYI I’m using Gorilla glue gel, eMarco 400 and CaribSea life rock...
