Redo aquascape?

[Kammetal]

So I want everyone’s opinion on my 40g reef aqua scape? Do you guys think it’s to much clutter? I was thinking if I should go for more of a lower aquascape?

Redoing might cause a cycle so I’m not recommending that but it would look more pleasing with more negative space

I would go for a lower less cluttered look personally, I would lower the right hand rock structure and leave a gap where the skull is to start.

It shouldn't cause much of a cycle if any if you remove a couple rocks. I would just do it slowly.

I would agree. Sometimes less is more.

how so? If you just move the rocks around why would that cause a cycle?

Build Thread - Time for a Re-Boot

So.. this is the first post of what hopefully will be a rewarding journey. As the title states, it's time for a Re-Boot. My SPS tank has been up and running for a bit over 6 years and has been a resounding success. Great news right? Well yes and no.. yes in the fact that I proved beyond a shadow...

Less is more! Great improvement! You will notice the corals will enjoy the additional flow and look much better. I did the same thing, no regrets other than I killed a really nice Raja Rampage chalice..

Planning to remodel a bit myself in the morning. Want to get rid of the boulder pile i made trying to hide the overflow. It created a dead spot thay I cant access so I want to open that up some.

The negative space looks great ! Also I’m sure your fish are enjoying some more swimming space .

I would too, did you get rid of much rock or just rescape what you had?

I just got rid of two big peices that just took up too much room and are to big for this tank also some rubble. I think I’ll be ok considering I have a decent amount of marine pure In my sump To avoid a cycle
