Im staying barebottom for this tank, and will be mostly SPS and zoas with some LPS (duncan, hammer, chalice, acan, and one favia) strewn about! The rocks definitely pretty big, the whole thing is just 4 pieces with a branching piece attached! I made sure that I can fit my hand between the rocks and the back/side glass, the angle of the top-down shot makes it look a lot tighter in the back than it really is.
But why break them up if I'm going to be gluing them back together?
I can't wait for the cleaning part! This will be my first barebottom tank and I already love the look of it. My wife even complimented the look, she likes that you can see the bottom of the rocks. She doesn't care about aquariums at all, so that was a big positive vote for me lolLooking good. As suggested give yourself some room between the glass and rock for cleaning
I'll have to post an updated picture later tonight, the water line obscures some of the better "cavey zones"
Just my opinion - but I would take the big one on the right out and smash it a few times with a hammer. Would move the rock in the middle over to the right. Then get some super glue/JB weld and create some cool smaller pieces. maybe use a couple of those for the middle or affix to the back wall somehow. Definitely looks too crowded and blocky for my taste.Hi guys! Just wanted to get some feedback on my aquascape!
Top down view: (the branch rock was put it after this was taken, but it occupies the same spot as the "chunk" in the middle/left side)
Some day I will do a floating island with a white sand bottom.
That big rock on the right is such an awesome piece of pukani, I couldn't break it up. So many tunnels! And the middle rock is actually 2 pieces glued together, it bridges between the pukani and the middle rock under it. I appreciate the feedback though!
There should be! I plan on keeping a very light fish-load, the customary pair of clowns, a tailspot blenny, a six-line wrasse. Maybe a hawkfish but I'm still on the fence
