aquascape help

Hi all! I'm setting up my first tank (IM 25 gallon lagoon AIO) and I'm looking for feedback on my aquascape idea. The piece of cardboard is more or less the dimensions of the display part of the tank.

Hello, im in the process of starting my very first reef tank and I have most of the essential materials. One of which is Live Rock. I have it set up here on my 55g and want to know if this specific setup is good or not and if I should change anything. I want this to be a more “open reef” type of...

I started off with a FOWLR tank and bought a bunch of rock when I first started out, now that I’m getting into coral I’m thinking of removing about 3 large rocks from my scape to make more room for the coral, would it effect my tank if I do so? How should I go about removing the live rock? Can I...

Hey all! Back again with the 140g. I have little over100lb of sand in (needs to be leveled out I know!) And I have 87lbs of rock, I have additional on the way, but was thinking it looks good. Want to hear some veteran thoughts. Looking to keep simple Zoas, maybe BTA and GSP.

Hi everyone! For the past 20 something years, a reef aquarium has been high on my bucket list. My "happy place" is submerged under the waves of Lahaina's Black Rock, so why not bring a piece of it back home to NJ? Especially after shoveling 2' of snow in single digits . . . After years of...

Alright hopefully soon I can get everything squared away but I need to ask, if I want a full and nice looking aquascape, how many pounds of rock do I need? I want the rocks to be 3 inches from the edges, and about 60-70% ways to the top, so that I may put some higher par SPS later when I get...

Hey reefers, I have a 20g long that’s been running since 2021, and I’m thinking about re-aquascaping it. My main reasons are improving flow, reducing dead spots, and giving my clown more places to hide. Right now, I’m running a two-island setup, but I want to switch to a more centered rock...

Hey everyone, When I first started this tank about nine months ago, I made what I now know was a rookie mistake — I went with ultra-fine sand for my substrate. At the time, I didn’t realize how much trouble that choice would cause down the road. Now I’m dealing with a few ongoing issues that...

I have been out of the hobby almost 20 years. I saved all of my Fiji live rock from then. Anyways, this will be a mixed reef going in an IM lagoon 50gal EXT. I tried to leave room for my hand for cleaning and what not. let me know your thoughts.

I have some Yuma mushroom corals that wound up on a rock I have been meaning for an acan garden. Is there a way to safely get the mushrooms to detach from the rock without harming them so they can be reattached in a more appropriate place?

Firstly, I'm not sure if this is the correct space/forum for this since this is an aquascape experiment, but also a DIY thing, but absolutely about creating a custom aquascape. Secondly, I'm a ceramic artist by trade (If you can and are able to support a local creamic artist right now...

Please ignore the mess in the background I have 4 separate islands in a sense. The left side of the tank is where my overflow is as well as where the outtake is. Tank is 7 x 2 x 2. Table is 72 in max. Green tape is the max of the 2 ft. Max height is at about 17 in. Wanting softies and lps

Hey guys just wanted to get some feedback on this. Ever since I set up my tank 2 years ago red sea reefer 170, I've never loved my aquascape I used live rock just stacked up in one pile in the middle of the tank and it is a huge detritus magnet. I recently bought some Marco dry rock and...

Hello all, What do you think of my hard scape? Tank will be a standard 120g, 48”L x 24”H x 24”W. Been playing around for a while with a mix of dead rock, mix of LifeRock, Marco, and some real pieces that have died. There is a bare minimum of 4” perimeter sand bed around all four...

Hey guys I have moved a large hammer coral from this space and am wanting to fill it with something. Only problem is this it’s kinda covered by this huge (basketball size) torch coral above it. Hence, when I moved the hammer coral. Anyone have any ideas as to what does well in low light?

I like the structure I made on the left but I'm questioning the one on the right. Any thoughts? Maybe I've just been staring at it too long haha.

20 Gal IM nuvo tank, should I stick with this or change it up? If you can add a picture of your scape for inspiration that would be great too. Planning for fish and coral, also have a large shelf I’ve broken into smaller pieces to make some shelves all over the scape let me know your input.

I have the Waterbox 110.4 and 100 pounds of live rock that came with it. Trying to figure out what to do with the rock scape! Any ideas? Let’s see your tanks!!!

Hi everyone! I’m setting up an IM marine 25 lagoon and I need some ideas for the aquascape, the tank will be a mixed reef with mainly LPs, some sps and softies (mushroom and zoa garden) I already have a bunch of rock but not sure what to do. Could you guys upload some pictures of your tanks...

Just as the title says, any advice? I’m planning to keep a corals and a clown goby inside for now

First time doing a reef tank, I’m coming from planted freshwater world. Thoughts, advice, recommendations on my current aqua scape. Goal is a mixed tank with mainly softies to start. Thank you all in advance for the advice.

Would a scape like this be okay for these fish? Some more caves and arches are planned to be added. List of larger fish 4 tangs, rabbitfish, foxface, pair of masked swallowtail, 4-6 bimaculatus anthias? Dimensions would be 62x18x12-14 height Want to keep it 12-14 since I plan on doing sps...

Looking to have a pair of clowns with a nice anemone for them and then fill in the gaps with softies and lps. Maybe clam or two.

Hi all! I am setting up a Biocube 32 as a bubble tip anemone tank and wanted some feedback on the aquascape. My local shop only had arches, so this is what I came up with! I tried to get it from a few angles, but I can post more pictures if needed. I do plan on having a sand bed, this is just...

I have a 60 gallon peninsula that I’m aquascapinf. This is about 40-50 pounds of rock. I’m brand new so looking to get thoughts and perspectives from those more experienced such as more/less rock, poor structure etc. thank you!
