Evo 13.5 aquascape

[jazzmik]

Opinions... I suck at aquascaping but not a lot of room to work with.

I really want a Japanese minimal structure, so not sure I met that in first try haha!

I like it. Enough flat pieces to easily place corals, while also creating a nice arch. It looks great!

Thanks. I've left a few inches around all sides. I don't want anything touching back wall.

Although it may be too high??

This is what I did.

How tall is the rock formation?

I like it, looks good... it's hard to do minimal in a tank that size. Here's my Innovative Marine 14g peninsula.

How tall is the rock formation?

Highest point on that one is about 9.5 inches. I think I need to be about 7in max

 

[Skebor]

Maybe just take that rock on the top left of the pic off and see how that looks.

 

[jazzmik]

Not terrible. Puts it at 8in.

What circulation pumps you all are using?

I was considering Jebao SW2 or RW4. Not going crazy spending a bunch on equipment with tank... do that with my Reefer 450.

I do have 2 inTank media baskets coming. Going to try not running any skimmer on this one.

That is still leaving you with a great amount of usable space to load with coral. Gives them a bit more room for vertical growth as well.

Bought this stand at Ikea...

Not 100% sure about weight when I add water.

Sit on the stand first. If it holds your good

I like how you ended up doing your scaping. Remember the amount of rock you have limits real estate for corals! Ended up having to change mine a few weeks in in my evo

Thanks... I actually returned the EVO and decided to pick up an IM Fusion 20 which comes this week. Wanted a little more room and the sump area in the back of tank.
