You don't dive then?It looks like a display and not a reef!
I have done this. You bend acrylic at a right angle drill large holes in the bottom of the shelf (very useful for cable ties to fix rocks or corals and very good for flow and cleaning) and stick with silicone or reef safe pond seal the upright angle to the back wall. I agree with the point several people have made about the leverage the shelf has on the back wall. I don’t think I would have done it if my tank wasn’t an AIO. The back wall is plastic, slightly flexible and the partitions have had extra silicone in the corners. I was also able to drill through this back wall to bolt it to the back wall. I used plastic number plate bolts. Here are some photos of it (dry). Sorry about the quality, hopefully u can zoom in and get what I mean.What is this a center for ants ???? Lol
Can someone explain how to do this I would love a cube with a floating reef
@vtecintegra Do you even dive, bruh? I've never seen clownfish swimming with a queen angel or a royal gramma in the ocean before, but portions of rocks/reef do suspend themselves over the sand.Never seen rocks and coral just floating in the ocean or on a reef.
I'm thinking of doing this with fishing line suspendingOk I have to say for me, it does "float my boat!" I love a good floating aquascape. The problem is that the look is not easily achieved especially on a larger scale. Well a true floating aquascape anyway. But what about for you? Let's talk about it today!
1. Do you like the look of a floating aquascape?
2. Would you ever consider setting up a new tank with a floating aquascape?

Yes - I am not fond of this particular one. I think there should still be some anchor to the bottom Even if just a back corner - or at least a 'rocky background'. I do not particularly care for the floating in the middle of the glass.1. Do you like the look of a floating aquascape?
I have kind of a version of one - where nearly the entire bottom of my tank is open - with only 2 corals - like tree trunks - support tables.2. Would you ever consider setting up a new tank with a floating aquascape?
have dived - and I've never seen a reef growing from a piece of black glass. I think thats where some (myself included) - are saying it doesn't look real. There is no place I have been that has ever had a ball of coral floating in space - there is always an anchor - its on a rock, etc. Just my opinionYou don't dive then?
is pumice reef safeive never dived before but i dont think rocks float. doing some googling, CACO3 is 2.31 g/cm therefore it cant float. it would look cool if there was a rock wall covered in coral and it was like a giant acro skeleton covered in coral. and it would be like the reef wall
It looks great but not for me. I like the natural look a little better personally
