How do you guys feel about this scape? The castle has been completely covered in coraline algae! To me, it's one of those double-take things people mistake for live rock. What do you guys think?
Cheesy aquascape?

What is that thing in the shape of a soda can on the right side of the house?
It looks neat. If I had a massive tank I would put it in there in a tucked away place.

Chris pm sent re lights.
Loki, it's a small glass bottle totally covered with meteor shower. I put it there in the hopes that it'll spread onto the castle.

I had a statue of Buddha with a dragon wrapped around it that i wanted to put in my tank. It wasn't made for aquariums so i didn't know what it might leech out. Makes it look like ruins or something.

I think it cool, but I wouldn't put it in my tank or it's longevity of cool would probably wear off quick in my mind, for me. I try to go for the natural look, albeit it's rare to pull off in anyone's tank really. I love Paul B's tank.. have you seen it? He's got bottles, planters, etc.. interesting to look at!
I think it looks cool. Question is do you like? I do believe that each person's tank is in a way am expression of themselves. If at the end of the day you enjoy it than I would leave it.

I said hate it, but its your tank. Its not something I think is cool - but that doesnt mean its not right for you, and at the end of the day all that matters is that your livestock is healthy, and that you like the way it looks.

The cool thing about saltwater tanks is that your keeping a piece of the ocean in your home. Like cutting out a piece of ocean live. Unfortunately you wont find castles in the ocean. Or any other freshwater decorations. I personally dont like any of those things in saltwater aquariums. Takes away from the natural beauty. My 2 cents

That's not necessarily true. There are places in the ocean where statues have been sunken to cover in coral. Or tanks or decommissioned ships. I would just consider this a man made reef.

I wouldn't ever put it in my tank, Although a few years back I had an OLD glass coke bottle that I pulled outta the ocean while snorkeling and I put it in my tank and it was COMPLETELY covered from top to bottom with leptastrea and star polyp's and it was actually really cool
So while me and other may not like it, WE dont have to only you have to since it is your tank to decorate however you wish and however makes you enjoy the tank/hobby

While you may not find plastic castles I can tell you from first hand experience that you WILL find all sorts of junk in the ocean with corals growing well all over it, Life will and does find a way to survive and thrive!
