Looking for inspiration to scape my 120 gallon tanks. Would love to see some of your creative aquascapes.

IMG_0329.JPG Heck then, here's the start of mine. 100lbs of marcorocks.com. Waiting on a 20" shelf piece and still might order 50lbs more just to have more choices to work with. The cardboard is the tank size. Shelf will go on right

The reason it goes together twice is I bonded in key spots with hydraulic cement. You can't see it unless you look for it. Once the coraline grows on it it will disappear.
 
Very nice and clean looking, and not too many rocks !

Thanks =)

It took me alot of playing around with the rocks to end up with what I had. Below are some of the pictures of what I came up with before finally finalizing it.. I realized that I had to just break the rocks with a chisel and use the best pieces I could find. I used 5 pieces and created the structure (4rd picture from bottom). Came out good I feel as I can put 4 corals on their with good space to grow.. I like the idea of having multiple islands that seem to fit together so when I move I can easily pull out all the rock without complete system tear down..

I like that piece pointing out towards the right on the left island. Awesome work. Going to look great with coral.
Thanks! Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing it with corals. I tried to keep coral placement in mind when I build the rock structure.
 
This is the aquascape I've built for my 120. Tank is a bit still cloudy since I just added water to it. But plenty of room for Acropora to grow all over which I'm excited about. I cemented the rocks at first with NYOS Reef Cement. Worked great on my scape for the Reefer 170. But wasn't working in my favor and I couldn't justify another $20 that wasn't working. So I bought some PVC and drilled my rock together, which I'm glad I did. I can easily remove the top rocks for future fragging if need-be.

The scape will also allow plenty of places for fish to swim through and flow to flow around.

This is my Reefer 170 Aquascape. I'll be adding this whole piece to the right side of my 120 in the above pictures.
