17gallon Aquascaping Advice

bcarl77 · Feb 7, 2018

Hi All,

I wanted to get some feedback and suggestions on my 17 gallon tank. I am wanting to buy a few more pieces of coral but undecided on what to buy and put where. Also open to moving existing pieces around too! Thanks for your suggestions!

It's not too shabby at the moment, some of the best looking aquascapes are the simplest. If you still want to add some more rock, maybe a ledge rock across the two base rocks to make a bridge would look good and provide a cave for the fish to swim through. I wouldn't add too much additional height however otherwise the tank will look cramped.

I agree with nautical. It looks good and simple. Personally I like more "natural" scapes.

Thats a really cool idea, I’d have to find a perfect rock to do it with. Would make another good surface to grow coral on.
