Aquascape Question

[nomadicreefer]

Hey all!

Back again with the 140g. I have little over100lb of sand in (needs to be leveled out I know!)

And I have 87lbs of rock, I have additional on the way, but was thinking it looks good. Want to hear some veteran thoughts. Looking to keep simple Zoas, maybe BTA and GSP.

thats enough rock for me but you can add more.

I would also add more caves and crevices in the rocks for fish. Right now it’s just a pile of rocks imo.

I was debating adding some overhangs and spots for fish to hide to feel safe

Looking good!!!! Caves yes.

I agree with all of the feedback above! I would not add more rock. Would be nice to have more hiding spots for fish.

More swim throughs needed for sure.

I think this is a good plan. Never a bad idea to add more caves and overhangs to a tank!

That looks like all dry rock. If so, I would consider building an aquascape. It’s not hard, just takes time.

Looking good. As @mmorrison55 mentioned, fish like swim "throughs" (even more so than caves-- only 1 way in, only same way out).

This 150 has at least 10-12 swim-throughs. Many are interconnected.
