Scape me...

[Sir Chris]

So it’s been cycling I have healthy corals and my refuse Jim is well-established now and also my sands fauna. Now I have almost like the 2nd picks tank almost disigned and now I wanna change it but I said that I came up with that first.... anyways. Would it be better 2 start with a large wall and come down or do the reverse like my wonderful drawing. Wish I could draw or use a program. But basically like a 3 person winning post diff levelsid being highest and prolly the middle b lowest. Please any help it’s My 1st large scape and want it raised up floating but covered. Bored rock if needed or just cover it well with rubble. Thoughts and thanks. Amazing the rocks simimlarity the right 1.

Try doing a search under modern reef aquascaping and you will get some great ideas, that’s what I did.

Looks good so far in any case Chris, but you can get some more ideas to help.

This is what I plan. Ima tie the 3 racks 2gather with Ts so it’s solid and can place rock on it and if needed I’ll put egg crate the sides if the rock is not sitting but I bought all my rock with plans. Have 30lbs more curing or cycling in a tub. Deff the way 2 go. 0 pests and got this wall almost dead. And had brown flatworms or zoo eating so I’m glad I saved it. And Any1 that can ID it since the small hammers... love saving corals. Expecally Walls!!

What I’ve made so far. 7 inch legs in mid then the left will b T’d on where the Ts meet and the right will have a about a 4 inch drop so it’s 3 inches above the bottom. Ima leave them lose till it’s 100% settled and flat and then just glue the legs so they won’t twist and colapse. Any input I’d bad lmk. Thanks. I ran out of three-quarter I thought I had a second pole... now I can’t finish it.

I don’t mind there being some exposed PVC in the back because Movement is more important and time covers it. I was thinking about black krylon but not sure. And also should I tint the back black or us my can of that rubber sealer u can peel off later? Not the crap on tv. Real plasti dip use it on magnets to make em water proof. Thanks for ur input much appreciated

Ok so I've basically came 2 a stale mate. I have the rock Ima as the filler rock 2 allow structure and a Marco rock serves that with its flat surface.... glad I picked up 4 cause I didn't have any and wanted 2 see where I could use em. Now I know. But the legs height is now what I'm at. The left side will b tied at the Ts joined and used a brace 2 gold it for pic so u get the idea. Then the right will b about 3 inches off the sand for flow. What's ur recommended height for the main center. I figured 9' but finding that's short. I have a whole pole so can just cut multiple till I'm happy but it's my 3rd tank now and tired of in and out. I have a QT tank now.... and Ima have 2 update my profile. Ughh if any1 can help on that where I update unless it's my post and just keep posting on it?.. my 2nd pic is on my phone. So I'll post it after this and it's the right shorter side. 17.5" from black frame 2 from and 19.3" from glass bottom 2 the water surface of water.

And my starter corals I used. Wall was 1st. Had flat worms... glad I have a QT!!! Thanks Any1 that helps. As of now it’s cut 10” then 8” for left and then when it’s mounted I’ll figure how far Ima slide em forward of the sides Ts joint. They are cut and glue. Not the slip over the pipe open Ts kinda wish I got them and glued. But I do t want a collapse so it’s y I have 2x6 as my tanks top
