That's a great question. I've always heard to keep rocks about 1/3 below the surface so you can have room for coral growth. But if that's not an issue, then the only thing I can think of is that it might be a bitter harder to clean the rock, etc?
I like that... how close to surface are those two side areas? edit... oops, missed that you break surface. Is that with rock only, or with the nem?mine breaks the surface,
the bta's like it.
I like the extension of the reef look going closer to the surface. I am going to try to add a bit more rock without making it look too top heavy.
my scape breaks the surface on the left. almost does on the right. no rock. made the scape from pvc and 2 part mix. reason its that high, besides I like the look, it hides everything. the overflow is a sidewall on the right side. in each back corner is a vertically mounted gyre. a heater on the right side. just my opinion, but why spend the time to make a beautiful reef and look at pumps?
I totally love the idea of hiding everything. I have center overflow, so that might be a challenge as I want to leave some negative space in the center, but, the 2 wavemakers, could definitely be mostly hidden. Any issue with flow hiding them like that?
no issues because they are vertical so flow goes down each side wall and meets in the center of the front. also hidden is my return which puts up a good current also.
Lovely aquarium, how big is it? Looks like 300 gallons or somethingNo reason not to. I have rocks right up to the surface
very nice.I decided to have some variation in my aquascaping, but decided to keep most lower. It got pretty heavy looking if I added more higher.
deep tanks rule.My right up to inches away didnt want to waste the space with just water sps all the way 30'' deep
I have 2 ReefLed 90s that I think should be good. Was tempted to get a third, but probably overkill.
