Which scape do you like more

[lubeck]

Just got my live rock. First or second pic? Or neither. I’m trying to envision with all the corals. It seems The first pic gives Me more platforms surface area to work with.

I think that the first one would be better. It will allow for better separation of species of corals. It definitely has a greater variety in distance from the light. Depending on your light and flow situation, the first tank better sets you up to space out different species of euphyllia, or different species of other LPS and or SPS corals. I recommend that you consider having a rock separate from the main structure to keep some of the more "invasive" corals such as zoanthids.

Gulf live rock .com. It’s amazing rock the company dumped 500,000 lbs in the Gulf of Mexico A year ago. It’s got tons of life, no joke.

First one!

Lol. I’ve changed it five times since this post. I’m fairly happy with this scape.

Looking good!

I was going to say the second, but your latest effort looks great too.

 

[lubeck]

Thanks. I need to work on my pics. The lighting isn’t right and the tank was dirty. This weekend I will update.

I hope you glued them because that rockscape looks a little unsteady!

 

[lubeck]

I had to redo the scape because it fell. It’s solid now which is this pic. I want to be able to take apart if I need to.

Small update

Looks like lots of sponge growth on that rock. Has there been any die off/reduction in them since you got the rock?

 

[bnord]

looks great, and speaks to the benefits of real live rock... me thinks.

real nice Lubeck...

 

[Cheeze]

Looking great!!!
I changed my aquascape probably 10 times when I first got my rocks, and admittingly still find myself fussing around with some of the scape to accommodate corals and make it more appeasing to the eye ...ever evolving!!!

Yes some die from the sponge. It’s been slow though
