Here's what I got for aquascape so far.

The left and right I'm really liking

The center is going to be a pillar covering my drain and return pipe. And it's going to have shelves coming off the pillar to put SPS

Thanks! I'm still tweaking how I want the top of the island to look. Gosh darn work is getting in my way!!

Sad part is I have to tear it apart to start cementing it.

Great scaping man!

Be careful and soak that Marco rock, it will most likely leak phosphates into your water. Mine did the same, had a nasty hair algae issue until my pellets colonized and took the algae down.

Thanks! Ha I just changed it again. I'm trying to get it just right with a nice natural but symmetric feel.

And I talked to Marco and they told me not to worry about it and that it wont be a problem. I had others who ordered marco say the same thing so im going to take their word for it and not soak it. After I cement it together I'm going to rinse it off though

 

[Fatmike92]

Cementing the base and a couple designs.

Ha I'm going to try and recreate what I had

 

[Fatmike92]

so far so good. all the rocks seem to be holding together. now to the next layer.

I dont think im going to cement the whole structure together. I think im going to do it layer by layer so that way it easier to get the rocks in and out.

 

[sexycorals]

looking good.. give me a bit.. ill upload a couple pics or vids of my scapes that people seem to like..

 

[Fatmike92]

Alright cool! Ha I have a chisel ready to go incase after I do it all that I don't like it lol
