Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[najer]

Y'all show me your favorite scapes for large cubes. I'm curious.

It is in there somewhere, 650 x 650 x 450! ;)

Here are some random ideas. All stolen images. In some cases parts of them gave me ideas independent of the whole. I may have sent some of these when you first got the 60 gallon.

I really just dont understand to be honest as I have went to gyms and the college but no go.

Have you considered posting here on the etrc? I'm working the next three days.

@Manose how big is the tank? Andrew and I can help for sure, but we're gonna need more than that.

 

[Katrina71]

@Manose I reallllllly wish I had known.

@Why-Me I had actually discussed something a long time ago making a wall on the back of my Biocube with the same idea coming from random suckers on a Kraken.

I have a question. Planning on something different for the back wall of the Miracle. What do y'all think of this silhouette? Think white acrylic...

The bottom is my fav

Mine too. Minimalist.

You could cut a piece of paper to match the back wall, and then cover it with colored in aquarium stencils.

It will have a white center overflow. Frosted back glass. Serene background lighting. Don't y'all think that would make a beautiful silhouette? Almost like a Kenya tree against an African sunset.

Andrew really likes that, and the staghorn shape will be replicated in the tank.

Here is my 240 cube viewable from 3 sides

Look at the growth it really starts to his the scape.

I have used super glue instead of stitches a number of times.

+1 for super glue In auto factories, think millions of pieces of raw sheet metal. Of course electric tape and a wad of toilet paper in a pinch.
I gotta go with the semi circle type of wall for a cube, lots of holes to see through to the back or corners, and tall with various peaks.

That's what we were thinking too. Lagoon style, but taller?

 

[Katrina71]

Do y'all think the white on white will look elegant on the back? Subtle?

Think long term, Me thinks the tank should be the focus but that's me. Will you be scraping the back glass, or letting it go purple and can you change it if needed?
Anyhow how goes the stand ? did you get it yet?

Nothing will be permanent. Long term planning. Coralline is always an issue. We do plan to scrape it. The stand will be here around the end of this month. Trim and painting can be done in a week.

This tank is completely planned for Andrew to grow with. Only permanent thing is his red pvc.

Don't show Andrew this! ;)
I am pretty sure I have it identified and my guess is an algae grazer!
It was cute, I couldn't help it! :)
