Let’s see your CaribSea Reef Tree aquascapes!

[Brit’s Fish]

I’m working on building my new 90 gallon tank & have been thinking of putting a CaribSea Reef Tree in it. I haven’t seen a ton of pictures of people’s aquascapes using them though. If you have one in your reef, let’s see them!

Honestly, as busted up as my life rock arrived, I won't be spending any money on CaribSea stuff. It was a heinous waste of money. For me it was like $300+ for a bunch of broken rocks with tons of white showing all over and a huge waste of money, I ended up with 4 usable rocks (covered in white from breakage) and I'm sure CaribSea could care less, but I'm point blank telling you that their product is not worth 10% what they sell it for.

I would love to receive an email inquiry from CaribSea, but highly doubtful.

Ah, I did have a couple broken pieces when I scraped my Flex with the LifeRock Shapes, but I also bought it at my LFS. That’s where I would buy my tree, too, if I end up with one.
I ended up gluing some of the pieces together.
I would be super sad/annoyed if it all came broken! Sorry!!

Bump! Anyone using these reef trees?

Not tree specifically but all Caribsea in my tanks. I have two tanks fully scaped in it. I think it's awesome to interlock pieces.

This is one of the solid trees, not made from arches. Rarely see these. Added an arch piece to it on the left.

I made this tree out of three arches, a base, and a fiberglass rod. A lot cheaper than buying the tree kit.

Made from one 12" arch and a smaller piece of base.

Mini arch attached with marco to a small piece of base.

I've got a LFS that sells a lot of the rock by the piece. Watch for huge mark ups though. Boxes of arches can be had online for relatively cheap. The only problem with that is every box has arrived with breakage. It's averaged 75%. Had to epoxy a lot. Anyway, here is what I've been building. Probably won't use it all.

You people rock at trees (pun intended)

That is an awesome scape!! The fish are going to love zipping in & out of all those caves!

This is great!! Very similar to what I’m thinking with having a tree on one side and some smaller rocks on the other. My tank has the corner overflow & im going to try to hide it if I can.

The big arch is made from a full tree on the left, a partial tree on the right, and an arch rock in between.

how much did this cost you?

 

[vtecintegra]

how much did this cost you?

I bought a case of arches and a case of shelf. $110 and $145. Only used one shelf and three arches to make the tree. Rest was used in other places.

I’m just finished redoing my aquascape. I have three of them in a reefer350.

Could you post the same photo (and possibly some other angles) under white lighting... I'm thinking about using these in my Reefer S-1000 when it gets here. Currently have a 350 with Life Rock but no trees.

I ended up using a tree in the center of my tank and all of the rest is LifeRock shapes - arches, donuts & caves. I’m loving it so far.
I made a little zoa tower with two of the donuts stacked on top of each other and my clowns love it. So do the other guys but it’s the clowns home.
