First aquascape

SighKenny · Sep 30, 2019

So I recently got into this hobby and have had my tank up and running for about two months and it’s currently super lightly stocked but what opinions on my aquascape

Sorry ab the light being off
Recently got cardinals and they’ve been super stressed so I’m reducing light for the first day or two

I think if I was you I would go buy 3 or 4 more really nice pieces of rock. You have a lot of space to work with higher up. I would also buy a stick of that putty like stuff to bond things together to create larger pieces. I have a feeling you are limited with ideas based on the amount of rock you currently have.

And by good rock I mean super porous, good shapes, and let your imagination roam as you pick them out.

You also need to state your goals. Do you plan on corals? What kind do you like? What kind of lighting is above that tank? Etc... because that will influence what you do.

Your on right track but I agree add some height to your structures

I eventually want coral but i currently only have a LED so i dont think its good enough for coral so i was waiting. I like a lot of brain corals and xenias from what ive seen but im still researching different corals i could potentially get
