aquascape

Setting up a new 125 gallon tank and just finished the Aquascape. Mostly “real reef rock” and a couple life rock shapes. Was wondering if anyone had some feedback on the design? Not to late for me to alter it. It’s going to be a mixed reed tank. Thanks!

Hey all!! I have this 10 gallon half moon aquarium. I'd like to do a nice nano reef!! I need ideas!! Themes, corals, aquascape, gear, etc. Throw me all your ideas!! Especially sps dominant ideas since I'm sorta leaning that way right now but I'm open to hear anything!! This is a more vertical setup.

Favorite encrusting coral? Hi R2R community! First time posting a question on R2R. I’m not new to the hobby, been in and out of the hobby for nearly 30 years since I was in middle school, but it’s been about 15 years since I’ve last built a system, and boy have things changed!. Over the last 8...

A few weeks ago I came across a tank(can’t remember where) that was huge, and the corals were allowed to grow where and how they wanted, even if it meant fighting between corals. While parts of the tanked looked great, others not so much. I completely dismissed the idea. since then I’ve seen...

I want to rearrange my live rock for a couple of reasons. the most important being all of my coral, I want to change it to create better placement for my coral now and future coral. The second being it does not look complete in terms of rock work. This leads me to my question. Is it okay to...

I went with AF Rock -- very heavy on plates and shelves. This is good for my shallow 5ft 100G tank. Except for the two bases, All the other rocks are suspended (i.e. overhangs and the like). Looking for honest, constructive, non-hurtful criticism, and opinions. Is this supposedly minimalistic?

Hey all, just wanted to post my week old setup. Its a 60P sized tank with a pretty simple scape. I really wanted to do something a bit different instead of the mess of colors that reef tanks are known for. I’m basing the design off of a specific area in the game Subnautica. Hopefully i do it...

First ever saltwater tank! Started with bc an Aqueon 55 LED starter kit and went to upgrading! Current upgrades include: Cheap soon to be replaced powerhead Viparspectra 165 lights Next up I will be upgrading powerheads and filtration! Current Stock Ocellaris clownfish Orange ricordea...

I know I know.. 55 gallons suck but here I am.

The long wait is over! After (un)patiently waiting for my cycle to complete, these are the first additions to my 55 gallon tank! 1 False percula clownfish 1 ricordea mushroom 5 blue leg hermit crabs 3 red leg hermit crabs 2 astraea snails 5 nassarius snails 5 margarita snails 1 bumblebee snail...

https://photos.app.goo.gl/KHbmHXC3gTQWozip7 Thoughts on this aquascape. Open to suggestions to improve it. I liked it when I first built it. Now the more I look at it the more it becomes meh. I don't know where to go from here.

Just got into the hobby few months ago... finally bought my 2 tanks a 75 gallon and a 30 gallon sump. Also some other items. I’m currently focused on building the Marco rock aquascape, I’m trying to achieve an NSA arch in the center as main display kinda. I haven’t set up tank yet because we...

Should I re do my aquascape? I am always looking for ways to make my tank better and wonder if anyone has any advice for ways I can improve my aquascape. Should I let it be or change something up?

Here lays the info on my build. Better late than never. Any and all advice is welcome. If you have questions I will do my best. As this is up and running there are a few gaps in between photos but it’s all here or will be as I plan to add and edit as I can. First picture is of it freshly setup...

Hello everyone! I’ve been in the hobby for around only 6 months, I started with a 75 Gal with only 4 fish, but now have a 75 gal and 125 gal. I want a new long term setup for both of the tanks, I most certainly want coral in at least the 75 gal. I am considering clownfish only I’m the 75 gal...

Hey everyone ☺️ I‘m trying to build an aquascape here Ive watched some videos but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right I‘d love to hear some opinions. Is it too massive? The tank itself will be a room divider so both sides have to look appealing in the end. I tried to integrate plateaus for...

I have a ProStar 230 gallon tank I have been slowly putting together, still dry, and I have been debating since starting the project how I want my aquascape to look. The goal for my tank is a mix reef build, heavy on the LPS side since I like to see a lot of flow and motion in tanks. Like most...

Hi all! We are now a year into our reef tank, and we are wondering if we should change our aquascape- in order to give corals better placement for growth as well as to add more! We feel as if we may have limited our area due to rock placement. We would love any and all suggestions in regards...

Just curious if anyone has an issue with their clownfish moving around rocks, shells, and other decor in their tank. I have a gold x lightning maroon that moves everything around every day, and some of things she moves are impressively big. She used to also dog in the sand before I put her in a...

Hey All, For any Canadian people who have been having trouble getting their hands on Gluemasters Thin glue for their aquascapes, I tired about 6 different glues on test pieces and by far the BEST alternative I found is CECCORP's Extra Thin. Runs like water and sets almost instantly when using...

Hello fellow saltines, My tank has been up and running for a couple months now. I plan to add softies once the tank matures. I originally just had one rock in the tank and placed it to the right side of the tank. I left the other side empty until I had a better idea of my plans. The more I...

Hey all, This is going to be my first build and My peninsula 4820 from Waterbox arrived last week and have finally moved on to working on the scape. This is what I have so far and would love some feedback on the rocks. Keep in mind I plan on building up some height a little bit. Also when...

I spent an hour today picking out Live Rock to get my 2.0 tank started again. I’m so Excited!! Cycling starts tonight! Can I see everyone’s Aquascapes??

Hi all, This is my first reef tank and looking forward to getting it setup and starting things off. I am planning on making this a mixed reef system—starting with mostly LPS—and adding other corals, a few fish, and maybe an anemone, as it progresses. I've done a lot of research on...
