Aquascaping pictures....

[lilkiwi930]

So I will be upgrading from a 32g to a 75g fish tank with a sump as well.
I was wondering if everybody can post pictures of there 75g tank or around similar size of there aquascape..
Looking for ideas on how to set up the new tank..
Im soooo excited for the upgrade and would love to see everybodys set ups.

Forgive the reflection of the news. We are monitoring the hurricane we are in.

so this is my 150 Tall. same length as a 75G.
scape is a DIY pvc & 2 part putty, so you can create anything you can imagine.

So I see you used dry rock I am guessing? For dry rock you set it up the way you like and such and put it in the tank. With it being dry does it have to cycle for a certain period of time to start putting things in the tank?? Just curious on how that works.

no rock. take a look at my build thread. it will show you how and what I used.

We used dry. Yes waiting for the cycle is painful but being able to place rocks, come back to it a few hours later and realize you don't like a part of it, fix it, and then do the same all over again is nice. We played with that aquascape for 6 days before we were happy. We did a fishless cycle with ammonia and way more dr Tim's than necessary and it took about 3 weeks. The fish were all in quarantine for longer than that though so it sat empty with small ammonia dosing for a couple weeks.

Awesome scape. Care to share how and what you used to build it?

I watched BRS's NSA video a little while back and ordered some rocks and the insta glue cure stuff and mortar. I am waiting on the super glue to come back in stock, but everything else is here. The 15 gallon mini peninsula tank I am making the scape for just arrived today too. I may break down and just go raid all the dollar generals in the area. Can't wait to record that build process.

My new 180 with caves, cliffs and not even close to touching back wall for flow

This is a great point. We made sure to leave enough room on all sides to clean the glass clear to the bottom. Very good advice.

BRS video was awesome - watched that beginning to end despite the length, the entire process is enlightening and helps shed light on how much energy/attention/style it takes to get these gravity defying structures get built.

Be safe!

We are! The fence is destroyed but every living being is in one piece and I now know the backup battery on my tank works!

Cant wait to see what you do with yours

sounds lucky. Always good to know the back up systems work.

Still unfortunate to loose things. Hopefully it will be a quick, cheap and easy fix.
