I think a natural Y shape would be great, with a small island in the front. For setting up in my new 24 JBJ. Giving height variances for all LPS and SPS, water movement, and space for fish and shrimp to move and hide.
The other great thing about a Y shape is that it will allow me to add some of the colourful Macro Algae in the rear corners, so I can see them, whilst they benefit the tank with both movement and water quality.

My favorite aquascaping style is minimalist e.g. bonsai. Although it may initially look barren, once the coral begin to grow out, the masterfulness of this aquascaping technique is soon realized.

I like a natural look , caves , overhangs, but still roomy.If I won the rock,I would start all over, I have learned alot in the past couple of years,
and I would love to see what I could accomplish, this might inspire me for the task.

The possiblities are endless... Aquascaping is one of the creative things you'll do when setting up a tank. When I'm building a new Reef, each peice of LR speaks to me.. not literally of course, but each shape,texture, size... calls out it's placement. Talk about functional art!

Liked! - Love the look of a center island with lots of white sand around it. Marco Rocks seem to be the standard for getting things kicked off. Glad to see you guys are on board.

I like a lot of caves. Almost a Rock wall. I do not like most rock pillar formations. If the tank is big enough I like the island look if they are not to small. I would use the rock to fill in the rest of my tank of Marco rock
I love to design rockwork that looks natural and has pillars that fish can swim around. I have experience divings reefs and know how to make tank rockwork look much like it does in the ocean.
The high school where I teach recently took donation of a 670 gallon aquarium that we plan to use as a FOWLR predator tank. We already have a pretty sizable program with over 1000 gallons of reef among five large tanks and now we're going to "go big" with this new system. We could really use the rock and would aquascape it together with Emaco cement to look like very large reef structures in such a huge tank. All of our aquariums are solely supported through donations of time and resources by people and organizations who care about sustainable aquaculture. Thanks for the consideration!

Facebook page liked. I am a fan of the island design. If I was to win I would rescale my 120 with islands not a wall that I have now
