Does your aquascape make you proud?

[revhtree Verified Admin]

Awesome aquascapes are like a hobby within a hobby! Fine tuning the negative space, minimal rock structure or underwater volcano look is part of the fun of owning a saltwater reef tank. Oh and at times part of the frustration! We even have a forum dedicated just for it! For many the saltwater aquarium is like a living piece of art for their home and having the perfect aquascape is very important. But today is not about how to achieve it, it's more about sharing and inspiring! So let's talk about it and share!

1. Are you proud of how your aquascape looks and how happy are you with it?

2. How long did it take you to get your aquascape just right?

SHARE A PHOTO OF YOUR AQUASCAPE OR ONE OF YOUR MOST FAVORITES!

This is a great scape!!

Yeah, I do not think I will ever stop liking your aquascape, @sp1187 !
I like the caves, overhangs, chasm appearance, full-height sides (covering equipment), and the coral choices for such a beautiful fill-in! I also agree with your fish choices, as they add a lot to the visual appeal, IMO.

How proud am I about my aquascape? I like it but I definitely think it could be better.

How long did it take me to get the aquascape just right? If I ever do, I will let you know.

Proud might not be the word I use … but I AM "happy" with it!
Happy the fish "seem" to enjoy it
Happy I can see the fish most of the time … even when they "hide"
Happy it's easy to maintain/clean, place new frags (so far)
Happy the corals are doing well with the arrangement
… and get HAPPIER when I sit in front and just loose myself in the tank for a while!

I am happy with my aquascape and it took me about 48 years and a couple of days to get it the way I like.

I would change mine , I had to arrange in emergency with cloudy sand due to livestock death in a tub during move. So basically did this blind lol but rocks are too big for much change , not the best but I’m happy with it

I don’t particularly like it, but I also don’t hate it. Still pretty good for maybe 15 minutes of work.
I plan to keep moving things around occasionally until I hit something I really like...fortunately at this stage I don’t mind upsetting the “livestock”.

I was so proud of my nano and it looked beautiful despite the lack of corals but I decided to go to a larger tank. The larger tank is so hard to make colors look vibrant and beautiful in, it doesn't help that I got a pufferfish that eats everything pretty that I even could put in the tank. I went from having the most beautiful tank in the household to having the most depressing. I'm looking for a larger tank so I can continue to keep my pufferfish, hopefully my luck will turn around when I get it!

I dont love mine but the Eel sure as heck does. Out and about exploring more often now during the day with the current placement and that to me means more than my own preference for is that rock 3 inches too far to the left etc.. :)
