Scape for a Reef 3xl 900

[Susan Edwards]

Here is my first pass at my aquascape. I forgot how daunting this is! And over whelming. And how what you envision never happens lol's. So much depends on the characteristics of the rock, and this isn't marco! A mix of caribsea and Real Reef. First picture is the rock I got in (245lbs - had to order by the box so I got way too much just so I could get a variety of shapes etc.!) Using the liquid glue with accelerator from BRS and wow, instant bond! I tried to leave 5-8 inches around plus overflow and extra and lots of negative space for corals like elegance, gonipora etc.

Full Shot. I've left the top 1/3 or so free for fish and coral.

Left side-looking behind Right side-looking behind Left section

Left from top down little island Centerpiece

Future sps garden. 2 gyres along each side of overflow zoa garden

Right side current gsp rock in tank will go in back. It is shaped like an arrowhead

Have the right side structure epoxy'd. Left side giving me fits. Somehow lost how I had it set up so piddling with it.

This time around, I discovered the trick of tacking with BRS's liquid superglue and spraying an accelerator on the glued joint to set fast. Works great!
