Is that ceramic rock

No. It's Tonga in the 120, marco in the others.

Here is my 5 Month Old 110G Bare Bottom tank Aqua Scape.

Old rock from from Upgrading from 65G to 110G Tank.

3 Separate Island built from various pieces Glued together for max caves, and good flowthru. Couple of CaribSea Tonga Rock pieces laid flat Raised on Glued on Frag Plugs Stilts.
and the best part was the CaribSea Shape Rock Arch Piece that joined the two left Islands together (came later in the scape completion).

This is a more all around view (on Day 1 of Tank Rock Scaping)

I love your scape. It seems to cover all needs. Swim room, hiding places, flow and lots of room for corals.

Ok......I thought I over did my frags (ie too many and too close) and am worrying now as they encrust and lock into place that I will have trouble.
But I LOVE your selection....must be fun to watch.
I got to watch your build thread to how things overlap.

I just got loads to grow out and wait until I see which I prefer the most, at that stage I'll remove the ones I like the least to allow space for my favourites

That's exactly what I was thinking. My tank started May 2018 like yours. My Tank Photo is two posts up.
Some frags have encrusted, and once they left the plug and touched the rock. (I moved one...but even a few molecules of sps left behind, has started fresh growth in that spot).
And now I am worried that I better start my selection/placement process sooner than later.
Don't get me wrong. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR SETUP and that you have room for so many nice pieces.
Every time I see a nice frag I want to buy it, to add it do my collection, but am holding myself back to avoid long term pain. Plating monti's are my biggest concern. Other grow slower.
Have fun. You have so much Eye Candy!!
Amazing!!

Thanks. It took 3 tries to get it right, but I am really happy and fish love it too. Can't wait for Frags to grow out and fill things in.

@Kieran McBride Looks like you haven't started a Tank Thread YET. Hope you do, I want to follow along and see how things go.

After seeing your aquascape I went over to your build thread. I read the whole thing throughout the day and I must say, your attention to detail kept me intrigued to read more. It was like reading a good book. Following along for more.

Thank you. I do the thread details for myself (maybe my son, when he get's his head out of his video games SOME DAY), but even better when a fellow reefer enjoys it.

Hey guys,

New to having a peninsula. Here’s my 90ish gallon (40x24x23)

Here was attempt #1
To me it just felt like too much rock in the back of the tank and My euphyllia were getting blown around by the flow by being on the sides.

This is attempt #2 at a scape with transferring corals/rock from my 50g. I need advice with how to complete this or if it’s even a good start. The goal is two-three structures. The back structure will be SPS with the Radion toward the back half of the tank (T5s run the length with aquatic life hybrid fixture) this area will also get more direct flow with an MP40 on each side and a Jebao (gyre knockoff) in the center. I would then put euphyllia toward the center to keep them out of the high flow areas.
Then softies and zoas mixed in or toward the front if possible.

I need advice on the rock structures and if I should attempt to move to three smaller structures. Hoping to keep one plate rock for sps that can hopefully grow out and add more height to the back rocks.

Thanks for any feedback

I have Tonga Shelf with the base still attached ,and I was wondering what is a a good way to anchor it down since it is so top heavy. I don’t want a busted tank.

 

[Maritimer]

I propped mine up with a couple of other rocks on one side, a piece of branch below the tip of the shelf, to give it a tripod of sorts to sit on.
