65 gallon aquascaping

[Jdurm55]

Anyone have a 65 gallon reef tank set up? I'm setting mine up now and just wanna see how some people set Theirs up.

Take a look here for a wealth of information regarding aquascaping. Keep in mind flow, cleaning/maintenance and coral placement. Just remember at the end of the day, you have to like it since you get to enjoy it everyday.

Here's mine. I really want to take a couple rocks out still but I don't have room in my sump and I hate to waste the amazing rock.

Here are a couple configurations I had with my 65 gallon:

Mine is currently down --- but should be back up in a couple of months --- close on the new place next week.

Here are a few from when it was set up. And a few from when I had my 58 set up -- same footprint, just not as tall.

The 58,

I have a 60 gallon but I hate my current setup. I ordered 30 more lb of rock that should come next week. My problem is I have a 60 gallon tall so it is very thin, I have to figure out stacking the rock high without making it too wide. I have also been told to keep the rock away from my glass for better flow... so just setting up my rock has been a huge ordeal.

You can drill holes in your rocks and use acrylic rods to enable you to stack higher without going too wide.

Is your overflow on the 65 offset to the corner? I'm jealous. My 65 has it right in the middle.

Offset to the left, but not fully in the corner. My old 58 was fully in the corner.

Xenia. It grows like you wouldn't believe.

Right before I took down the tank (( moving ))
