Two pieces of Tropic Eden Morroca (what they used to call Pukani) in an IM25, one medium sized plate, one small. Glued to a small piece of Caribsea rock that I cut flat on a tile saw for a good stable base. Still some cleanup to do, but mostly there.

How did you do this? I’m looking to do something like this myself. What kind of rock is this?

Lots of negative space and room for coral growth and water flow.

Hi Sunny, Good to see your post, I was wondering what happened to you all these years. Your tanks and method have always been an inspiration!
How do you like the Morroca rock?Two pieces of Tropic Eden Morroca (what they used to call Pukani) in an IM25, one medium sized plate, one small. Glued to a small piece of Caribsea rock that I cut flat on a tile saw for a good stable base. Still some cleanup to do, but mostly there.
Very much. It was kind of weird and shiny at first and I was a bit worried about porosity and bacteria habitat, but my nutrients are very low and very stable even with only a few pounds in the display. Really liking it. One of the most natural-looking of the man-made rocks, IMO.

Idk if this counts as minimalist, but it was when it started. Maybe 70-75 pounds in 80g

This reef by Emoceans is my all-time favorite tank and the one that inspired me to start reefing.

I was trying to go for a clean minimalist approach like the ones I am seeing here in this thread but I'm afraid my initial attempt is anything but minimal. Any thoughts on what I can change to make it more clean? Should I remove the bridge? This is going in a 3' x 2' tank (Waterbox 100.3)

I followed the HNSA approach on my latest build. It's pretty minimalistic. Fairly open with more housing for smaller fish. Ma in nly going to be Pygmy angelfish and wrasses. I have some tangs but are the smaller variants.

I love the bridge. Keep it! Do u have space for an island or anything. Maybe the rock on the right is a bit bulky. But I like the change in pattern. A great start!I was trying to go for a clean minimalist approach like the ones I am seeing here in this thread but I'm afraid my initial attempt is anything but minimal.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I do not. The new setup came with corals already attached to the rockwork. The rock/corals were moved over from a smaller 50gl reef I had setup in my office to grow out corals to move into this one. The office tank wasn't setup as a display aquarium, so its not as clean or structured, but it did do the trick and grew out corals well for the eventual display tank. In total, the corals were in the 50gl or about 16 months:
The closet thing I have are the photos shown below, which is just after setup:
