Should I re-aquascape my 250G???

Vmacisback · Feb 27, 2014

So the question of the night is if I should re aquascape my 250G SPS reef. It started off as 2 islands, I then added more rock to the middle and has somewhat become a rock wall with some very small negative space spots for fish to swim. One of the things I have found most appealing about large aquariums is the ability to do some great aqua scaping, I don't really feel like I fall into this category at this time. The problem is some...maybe 1/4 of my SPS are encrusting and may be hard to remove in order to make the change. With this said the reason I got a larger tank was to house more corals, i hate to feel that within the first 3 months I have used all the prime real estate in my tank. Please feel free to give me your feedback and lead me in the right direction. Its somewhat of a large project that I am tempted to start but don't know if the benefit is really there. Thanks

I like it. Sometimes I want to redo mine as well but my corals are doing great, so I choose to leave it be. Once they grow out it will look like a real reef tank.

It's your tank, if you feel uneasy about it,, create it different. It's there for your eyes

Just got done re doing our 150. If it bothers you now,it will be harder down the road. Your tank looks great but I say go for it. It took us about 5 hours to do half the rock work. Left deep sand bed and base rocks alone. We now have a lot more real estate plus large swim thru caves for our yellow tang.

We also found neat sponges and squirts on the undersides of rocks. With the amount of frags/corals you have going in there, who knows what you might find.
