Aquascape evolution

[Alex Costa]

When we started to set up marine aquariuns, we have the false idea that aquascape is something static and that what we plan will remain.
Over time you realize how dynamic it is.
This is the evolution of my aquascape over these almost 3 years.
Fell free to share yours here.

Nice progression of full tank shots.

 

[Alex Costa]

There's some gaps, in the beggining and in the past months (due to some problems).
Seeing it now, I regret not being more disciplined.

 

[Waters]

Really cool pictures....and great looking tank! I unfortunately never took progression pics like that. I have one when it was set up, and one now, several years later lol.

Gorgeous. Very nicely done. Informs on the lesson of why minimal works so well as an aquascaping strategy.

 

[Peach02]

That's a huge change great growth!
And well done on showcasing somthing we often don't give alot of thought to

has there being a lot of corals removed since you started? i mean i see bunch gas being added.

I love the natural swim through / cave the acro colonies on the back structure make in the middle. Looks outstanding!

Yes.
I removed some sps colonies to open space to other kind of corals.
I think that a system like mine, running for the last 6 years, forces the aquarist to do it.
Plus I added a lot of new lps, to divesify the livestock of the tank

I'm asking because i believe this will be me as well, I added bunch of frags to my tank, not thinking about future

Everyone does that!
I think it's unavoidable.
As time passes by, you'll have to find out what you want to keep.

 

[Alex Costa]

As you can see, sand is back!
I think that the problem with dynos is solved.
So far so good.........
Let's see what time brings.

 

[Alex Costa]

A huuuuuuge gap, but I'll try to keep this up to date from now on.



The sand is still in, as my dino problems are gone.
