I have a new marine x 110 that is currently sitting dry as I can’t decide on a aquascape, I have a load of Marco rock and shelf but can’t decide on how to set up the rocks, does anyone know of a place where I can see different aquascapes? I’ve had a look on google but a lot of stuff that comes up already has corals etc on it

I started my first tank in 1988, got my open water certification in 1990. Came home from my first dive vacation and redid my tank. I've tried my best ever since to recreate what I've seen while diving.

The bottom line? If you like it, it's PERFECT! If you decide it's not quite right in a few months (or years) change it until it is!

That's very nice. I like the open space a lot. As it fills in with corals it will be beautiful. I'd love to see a picture in a few years.
Thank you. We have enjoyed it so far. I’m hoping that it will continue to mature Beautifully.

One other thing.
Keep all rockwork away for the sides and front panel.
Make sure their is enough room for your scraper, I use the flipper, as corals grow in you will break them off if they are to close.
My digi is so close now that the flipper will hit it when cleaning the front glass.
