Need help with your aquascape?

[YNRA]

Hello would like some recommendations on the aquascape from people if possible!

The left side is an arch and this is the side angle

Another one. Thoughts?

Like some thoughts on my 90 gal reef setup

Here is mine. What I'm really looking for is more of a steep hill coming "down" the mountain(yep the song is stick in my head too) to the tree. This is about 40 pounds of rock, would really like to go a bit more minimal with more open space.

Another one. Thoughts?

I preferred the first. One a bit more. I really liked your first left hand island. It’s too small now. However the right island now looks better. Overall I prefer first attempt just tweak the right island.

first attempt on my 150 tall. Any suggestions?

Or this....

 

[canadianeh]

How about this?

 

[Guttersnipe]

How about this?

That looks good. It’s very similar to mine.
once it fills up with corals it’s going to look amazing.

Here’s mine

Or this....

I like the 2nd better since a bit more open?

Need feedback on my aqua scape. Tank is an IM 25 lagoon.

This is a picture form the top

I like it. I’m sorta trying a similar thing on a low height 40 breeder tank. Definitely a fan of the different sections with sand area in between.

 

[exalectric]

Here’s my attempt. I like the right side. I do not like the left side but husband “just had to have the premade arch” and now I don’t know how to fit that in a more organic way.

ps it’s the “Frankenstein tank” because there’s like 4 different rock things going on lol

If you need an outside perspective to help with improving your aquascape, just post here a few shots of your tank, and will try my best shot at providing specific advise according to your goals for the tank.

Sometimes I can just answer here, show the alterations using photoshop or make a video.

Just post here front shots with your cellphone/camera positioned at 3 different heights (sand level, centre and water level) and also a couple of angled photos, so that I can have a better understanding of your tank's layout.

This is a subject that is surprisingly not researched by most reefers and I have given some thought and some time ago I did a similar exercise in another forum.

It's also a great way for everyone to learn from each other and see a few freshwater techniques that we can apply and also many others that are specific for reef tanks.

In the meantime, if you want some inspiration here are a few videos I made with suggestions for different tank shapes.

First sw tank, starting to play with the aquascape. Its a 37g column tank. Starting fish only with a someday plan for corals. I have no idea what I'm doing so welcome to all advice/thoughts/tips!

Looking for opinions and advise. I have large rocks that I tried to avoid breaking but I broke one up into more manageable sizes. I was going for the island type feel. My tank is te feet tall so I choose to go with the pulled on one side. Thoughts? The zip ties are temporary. Sorry for the bad lighting. 70 gallon tall

Hi everyone . This is my first reef scape. Any suggestions ?. Made sure to leave space between rocks and glass.

The shaded area is the AIO/Chamber

 

[Arthur_Dent]

What would you do to improve this aquscape?

I was thinking of making a rubble rock feature up the back wall like this, and growing zoas up it, or gsp. Think that'd be too much?

Also, all the rocks around the base are going to have zoas. Any recommendations on what colors to put where? I've always been terrible at the complimentary colors game:

 

[BTimms]

I’m just not sure if this is the most efficient use of space.
Any thoughts?
