My first Negative Space Aquascape NSA

[Savo]

This is my first attempt on doing a NSA. Before this I only stacked rocks

Looks great!

yeah I just built my first NSA too, it was fun!

Very stylish and I think looks great! Any ideas how much rock weight is in there compared to your tank volume? Also is that. 3ft or 4ft tank?

 

[Savo]

Thank you. It was a lot of fun and i will never go back to stacking rocks. It was definitely really hard to pick it up and move it to the tank. Had to do a lot of glueing in the tank from the pieces that broke off.

Close to 50pounds per structure and the tank is 5ft

I am inspired to attempt a new aquascape. I just don't want to mess with what's already done.

My two halves were 32lbs and 44lbs, I definitely had a hard time lifting them up and over into the tank, but I already had water in it so it cushioned a lot of the weight, and I just went slow and managed to not break anything

It’s really easy to make. I would suggest not to use the E-Macro mortar. I found it to not hold up well. Superglue seems to be stronger and sand sticks better to it as well.

I wish I had saltwater in the tank when I put it in.

Yours look great!!!

Mine are beefier by design. I wanted something that was a compromise between traditional stacked and absolute NSA. All three sections combined weight is in the 140-160 range. And like yours, they were a BEAST to set in the tank. Each one was built to just fit in the 1/3 opening of the Eurobraced 6-foot tank. (apologies for the PAR stickers)

Your aquascape looks amazing. I like the sand hill you made.

A look with sand.

I like it.
Different, but I like it…
lots of room for coral placement and growth…
