Need help with your aquascape?

[Hemmdog]

I got a good one for you guys...
Quick information:
Center drain
2 center returns
120 gallon
40x40x18

See attached picture



Bonus: video before my tank crashed how it was set up

That looks good for a frag tank, if it’s a display I’d make a volcano of sorts to hide the center pipes.

Starting a 50 gallon corner tank. Looking for some opinions. Im not sold on the current scape at this point.
Thanks in advance

I like it! Some very interesting shapes in that rock.

I like my rock but at the same time, I’m not in love with it. I feel it’s just two boulders married together... I feel I need redo what y’all think..? I feel to much rock for a 40 Breeder..

Hey, so I played around with my rocks a long time ago and came up with the first aquascape (boxes in the back). Now its time to add the rock to the tank and I have no clue which peaces when where, but this is what I came up with (cabinet in the back). Any ideas?

Get those things in the tank already, both scapes are sweet

Agreed ! ! !

Here's how it came out! I have gyres in the tank, so I don't want to go to high and impede flow or have the coral in front of the jet stream. It could also give the coral more room to grow. I might add a couple peaces to the top of the right structure. A little more minimalist than I was going for, but it seems to work. Thoughts?

I am loving that.

Hey everyone! First off, this is a fantastic thread!

I'm in the aquascape planning stages for my Waterbox 170 and created a mockup in my garage to test out some designs. Would really appreciate some thoughts, opinions, advice. I've narrowed it down to 3 variations of a similar overall layout...

Design 1.

Design 2.

Design 3.

3 is my favourite just because as you add livestock, it provides them more space to swim/explore but also give you different sections to look for them. If looking for something a bit more minimalistic I like option 2 as an alternative

 

[khiyasu]

Option 3 also allows for more areas for coral placement

 

[Fudsey]

3 Definitely 3 although 2 is good as well.

What you guys think??

Love the rock with the overhang! Are you going to have sand or bare Bottom?

That looks good but you might want to leave some room between your rock and glass for cleaning. I didn’t on some of mine and it makes it a pain to clean.

My current aquascape needs a serious do-over. I see all these great scapes with curves, arches, etc but no idea where to begin. Pic attached. I already know people will not like the rock wall on the back glass but wil be hard to remove in an established tank. Really want to know how to do the main aquascape. This is a 55gallon so not much front to back room for aquascaping. Thanks for looking.
