Great rocks Andy! A couple of those holey rocks look like some that i have. And they do make for some good hiding places

I know they will! I may start constructing the aquascape tonight with some epoxy so I can have them ready for water next week.

Sounds great, and i love the island idea! Benefits of a wide or square tank. Wish i had room in my house, i would have at least went 72Lx36Wx24H. Maybe when all kids move out

Those would be some sweet dimensions. I think three islands would be fun, along with Tonga branch scattered around.

Looking forward to the start of construction work on the stone.

OK so I ended up going with two islands with Tonga branch incorporated which is not shown here yet. The big island consist of five rocks the small island consist of three rocks. Picture IMO does not show intricate detail and depth of field of the rock itself Anyway here you get an idea of what my aquascape will look like. I made sure to have plenty of surface area for corals and holes and openings for fish, and of corse my maximas! Im very happy with it. Can't wait to cover it with acropora!!

Niice, I really like what you've done so far. I especially like the bigger island...lots of coral room. Excited to see the tonga added!

Thank you. I love tonga because it gives it such a natural look, I won't go crazy with it but I'll definitely add a few branches.

Такие вдохновляющие фото.
Хочется тоже что то переделать, сделать.
Но вот что хотел спросить,? Не возникнет застойной зоны межу двумя островами?
Может быть немного сдвинуть их с прямой оси?

Thanks Aleks! If I have and flow issue between the islands and can always slide the little island around or adjust the power heads accordingly.
