aquascape

So I finally completed my aquascape and the tank has settled in. I spent so much time getting the scape the way I wanted, I never thought about what corals I was going to fill it in with. I have mainly zoas and palys along with some torches and hammers, 2 different blastos, 2 plating montis...

Recently had a tank crash due to equipment failure/dino overrun. As part of the restart I decided to move my journal here as this is where I spend most my time online. Im in the middle of collecting photos and will sift through them and post shortly. Here is what the tank looked like prior to...

Hey folks, I thought it would be neat for everyone to see how our tanks have changed since they were first put together, so show off a before picture of your blank aquascape versus what it looks like now! As an example, here's my IM Nano Fusion 20 aquascape before and after ( or present ;) )...

150 gallon tank. Total water is 137 gallons with sump. Here are two pictures. One is without the live rock, the other is with the live rock. I know the color will match later on, but please let me know if I have too much rock in the tank. There is 124 lbs of dry rock in the display...

I’ve always used epoxy and glue to make my rocks sturdy but I want to put my newest art work to the bottom glass, should I use epoxy or superglue ?

Has anyone tried to epoxy or glue small pieces of rock rubble to the tank glass to support corals that need to be separate ..... also directly to the bottom glass for rock stability in the build of a new aquascape and which product was successful, gel or 2 part epoxy

So who has used Aquasik epoxy/putty? Has anyone used this long term months to years with out anything falling apart? I just finished creating my aqua-scape with dry rock and this stuff holds amazingly! I also put tons of Extra thick supper glue from BRS in any crack/crevasse to make sure nothing...

Hi, I ordered 80lbs of Two Little Fishies Stax Rocks and I try to find the best way to blue them together. not in one big block but in bunch of few piece to make them stack like lego blocks. I plan to glue them dry then, cure them for maybe a month or two. I found many product that could do...

It's time for Rocktoberfest! Build the perfect aquascape with AquaMaxx!

I did a Youtube video of how I did my current Aquascape in my 140 reef. I would love to share how with someone just learning . Please check out the video and let me know what you think

Reaching out to see other's experiences with pukani rock is. For me, I've had two tanks in the past. The first, was set up with cured live rock from an LFS. There was virtually no algae growth on the rock for the life of the tank (3 years). My second tank I used dry pukani that I cured in a...

Work in progress, 65 gallon 24x24x24 Cube. Painted stand to match my house, ordered a new LED Fixture Was using my biocube for comparison. A bunch of anthias and some coral this week along with a couple smaller powerheads. The end product is going to be a completely euphyllia dominant tank...

So I decided to add some plants to one of the rock structures coming out of the water. I was at the farmers market today and decided to give succulents a try. I spray the mangroves periodically with RODI water so this addition does not add to my maintenance and adds some more color and...

Finally about to get this tank up and running... it's only taken 9 months of researching the forum, lol. I will eventually sit down and do a build thread... just gotta find the time! Aquascape question...is it recommended to sit the live rock directly on the glass bottom, or elevate each piece...

Looking for inspiration to scape my 120 gallon tanks. Would love to see some of your creative aquascapes.

I'm starting a new 90 gal reef tank and want to know what style of aquascape to do. I ordered 100 pounds of dry rock from John at ReefCleaners and made this: I haven't glued anything yet so I'm still able to move things around. I wanna see what you guys made, I'm also open to any suggestions.

What started as a B-day gift (LFS Glass tank, with black hood and Stand)- is now the focal point of my house! I didn't cheap out, so the build took just shy of 1 year to complete. With Fish-keeping +25 years, this is the biggest tank to date for both fresh and Salt. Basement requirements: -...

Hi, I've set up the first batch of Live rock, used aquaforest cement, works pretty good! (i bought the rocks from a previous owner with the tank 2nd hand), i'm guessing there's 25kg but really i have no idea... It's my first setup, so any advice is greatly appreciated! I think i need to add...

My tank is 60 gallons... kinda skinny as far as depth is concerned. I'm having a hard time getting an aquascape setup I like without touching the walls of my tank. I'm thinking about breaking up some of my larger rocks. Also, I'm thinking about taking the sand out and keeping it in a plastic...

what do people think about my tank from 1 to 10. 1 being worst and 10 being best.

Hi all, Quick question: I'm about to start a layout and my initial thought was to make sure the rocks never touched the glass, and the back too, for maintenance reasons. Concerning the back glass panel, I also prefer black clean looking glass as opposed to completely coraline-invaded background...

Had an old 36g bowfront that I am converting from freshwater to saltwater. This will be make second reef tank. I'm hoping to keep maintainence/care easier so I will be doing mostly fish, with a few softies, and maybe a Nem for the clowns. My first tank I used live rock and ended up just having...

So my Fiancee has been asking since i got back into the hobby for sea horses. I'm sure many of you have had this problem. I keep telling her that we cant put them into my Display tank because they will die. :-( Well just last week she figured out a new angle. I have a 37 column that i keep...

This will be my first post, I'm wondering how you SPS experts think this will grow in and if there is anything you would change... Let me know your thoughts! Thanks!

Hi, Have had my upgrade which is a TMC signature 900 cycling for 6 weeks now. 5 of those weeks I was away in Asia but a friend kept eye on the tank. I used some established live rock from a smaller tank which i put in the sump and some new live rock from my LFS which I attempted to putty...
