A scape is never finished..... ;)

A small change on the right side and some fresh new live sand in it to give the tank a boost.
Absolutely stunning!!

I know I’m new here but that is the most aesthetically pleasing aquascape I have ever seen man!! Had to screenshot for future reference cuz your placement of corals is beyond dope!

Any chance you could let us know the type of rock used on this amazing aquascape?? I am thinking about building a large arch like that for my 120 gallon tank but I wasn’t sure if I should start with CaribSea Life rock, Marco rock or a different kind? I also have 40lbs Fiji rock that was given to me.

Hi Adam ,
Rock that i used was partly live rock from indonesia and partly the same type but dead.
( 20 kg live , 35 kilo dead )
I glued it with (in dutch language "snel cement" , if you translate that it's quick cement but i don't know if you call it that in englisch .
What i do know is the bigger the rocks are , the more natural it will look 16828792743692573515638422622543.jpg
So i used quick cement and tyrips.
Hope i helped you some with this info.
Grtz jack

What are the green and blue stylo-lol

What are the blue and green stylo - looking SPS at the top? Beautiful!
Thanks,
These are stylophora , i added a pink one today as well .
The one in the middle in the pic below is a pistalata with a red base and bleu polyps , the green polyps one on the left has a yellow base .
I think stylo's are one of the more forgiving corals if something goes wrong , acro's on the other hand .....
Grtz jack.
