I am not sure if I am allowed to post these, so feel free to delete if they go against the rules. But here are some of the tanks that inspired my build. Not pictured are two of my favorite tanks\aquascapes, that I am sure everyone is aware of. Reef in the Sky and Sunnyx.

Great pics everybody. Never imaged this thread would be still running strong

I'm about to completely redo my 220 this week, so I'll have to post up pictures of my new 'scape lane:

210 system. with 150 dt. Not huge but big enough.

Wow! Gorgeous tanks!!

 

[EcoFrags]

good inspiration for a redo in the future for anyone with these pictures...some really healthy tanks out there

Great looking setups everyone! The boomies and minimal rockwork is the way to go. These sorts of setups look great with stags growing out to great heights. My fish also appreciate the extra room to swim. Oh, and flow is MUCH easier to handle and deal with when you have minimal obstructions.

Here is my 3.5 month old 72*36*22 Rimless Reef

This is really cool. Love the minimalistic aquascape

I used fiberglass grating I got on eBay. This is super strong stuff, i then cut it and stack it then cable tied my live rocks on it.

Nice scapes everyone. Keep them coming. I have another week before all of my rock is ready for my 280. I will post pics.

I guess now that I have a tank that's larger than 180g I should contribute, here is my "custom" 210g. It's longer than a standard 210g, I wanna say its 84"x24"x24".

Not an advertisement but, I used macro rocks.com's Live rock mortar. I used an angle grinder with a masonry wheel to go thru and shape the rocks, and to make little flat spots where i could super glue frags onto. then for about 90% of the rockwork I used the standard stacking technique using the mortar to hold it all together. Then for the other 10 percent I drilled the rocks and make PVC stands for them, then used mortar to hold them in place.

I highly recommend using an angled grinder, it makes shaping rocks much more simple. Just remember not to make the rock structure so big that its hard to lift... Like I did lol

[Aquatix]

Does are "regular" rocks that imported to Israel from Vietnam and Indonesia
and washed with Hydrochloric
(need to be very careful)
