Thanks everyone!

Started working on some smaller aquascape structures that will mostly be joined together to make bigger structures.

Nice! Less is better when it comes to rock....more room for coral growth

Looks great, but you should probably use treated lumber!

Looks good but now you have to call the tank "Pine Key"

And I would have gone with furniture grade, not construction!

Wise guys!

Hey @revhtree, I know it is completely personal preference, but was there any discussion of painting the brick? With as gorgeous as the tank is going to be, I wouldn't want anything distracting from it.

Once this thing gets wet, full of fish and coral, I'd guess that the last thing you'd be looking at is the color of the wall, which I love btw.

I was thinking the same exact thing, but was too afraid to say anything.

Hey we just put this wall in!! Lol! Honestly it doesn't look near as good in photos as it does in person. When it gets lit up blue it will break it all up and I think look good.

Playing with aquascaping...

Not near done just getting some ideas. Got plenty more rock to play with. I'm not a huge fan of the centered mushroom rock. Give me some thoughts.

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Already adjusted it again..

I agree the center rock looks "forced" if u will I like the other two sides tho

I agree... just get rid of that shelf piece and use it as a heavy frisbee in the back yard.

 

[Broadfield]

I would also say it's little too symmetrical... maybe have the center structure not so centered. Move it to the left and make the right structure a little larger. Food for thought!

 

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Yea I agree! I'll get back at it later tonight!

The Left and right side is a wrap for my style but center is the dilemma. I could only imagine running back and forth to check it out on this size of a tank. Dang.

Haha luckily I can get a good idea of the look from the reflection on the front glass. The cat walk is a LIFE SAVER!!

If y'all have any more ideas please let me know!
