Rockscaping my 300

Psylacus · Jan 6, 2019

So I have 300dd. Still kind of dirty so please excuse the mess

!

Anyway working on some ideas. I know there are a lot of extreme minimalist and while I do appreciate its style I am going for a more full look (but obviously not the rock "wall" effect either). It is a very deep tank, there is about 2 inches on the back that don't touch the wall and about 1-2 inches between the side walls and the rock (Mostly 2 - one spot is closer to 1 but i may trim off that piece.). Any thoughts here

Will update my main "DIY" project one here soon.

Please note I plan on putting around 2 inches of sand in the bottom of it.

I would check and make sure your cleaning tools fit between the rocks and glass, otherwise I think it looks good! I like the shelves!

I really like all the hiding spots you've created. Looks really good to me.

It looks great to me as it is, especially the shelves,and loads of places for the fish to explore

If your still not happy though check this out for some ideas

Here are a few updates with it. Move some stuff around to make it a bit more stable and interesting.

with that much rock, you have a lot of room for corals, but less for fish.
i suspect that is what you are going for - fill it up with corals yes?

i love the shelves!!

Yes I want to do reef tank! So my fish selection is a bit more limited so figure might as well make sure that I have a lot of good light space for coral. However believe it or not there is only maybe 200 pounds of rock in it. I have about 520 gallons of water volume with my sump and refugium. Will use some marine pure to up my rock content.
