Maybe they are to you ..... but not to me. Just look at the pictures that have been posted in this thread alone LOL.

I see some really good ones. Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder I guess?

Here is an older completed scape of mine.

My current scape has more depth and I plan on making great use of it with scale. I’m also going to use color more to my advantage this go around.

Haven't heard that since I was a young chap - a distant memory now sadly.

We definitely need to see how this is set up! I'm super curious as to how this looks.

This is my go-to cement. It's what holds my reef together.

Cool I plan to order some STAX and a good cement. I will get this one then.. I saw @chefjpaul use the same thing for all his scapes as well.

Reef cleaners rock and Tonga plate. Plenty of caves, swim throughs, and open area for fish.

Lots of surface area for corals as well as open sand bed space.

1000g aquascape and a piece going into the 500g shallow tank . I Will be doing a build thread for both tanks when I return home in a few weeks .

Just for content I'll share a few of the scapes/tanks I've done in the past. had to dig deep in my photo stash.
This is the beginning of my 90 gallons of frag. The name came from the 90 gallon tank I filled with frags. lol
I built two towers with a drill and 3/4" PVC to hold them together. They connected under the sand to hold them up.
The scape continued building a rock pile from the left tower sloping down behind the right tower. And the finished scape

A couple store displays I did. The first one was an old RedSea tank that never really got off the ground. Scape was sweet, but It had too much light and got too hot. The second was an Marineland tank and results were gold. I can't find a bare rock photo of it.
