First NSA attempt

DVal · Aug 22, 2020

My first attempt at NSA. Going in a 6ft mixed reef. Base is Marco base piece and the rest is Pukani that has been sitting in my garage. It's currently 16in tall (2/3 ht of tank). Unfortunately, I've got 2 braces across my tank at 21 inches apart, so it limits what I can do outside of the tank. I plan on adding additional branches once I get the main pieces in the tank to allow them to fit together. Currently glued but will mortar together. What are your thoughts, critiques, and/or advice? This is my first one, so I'm learning as I go along.

Wow I really like that one. Do you have any finished pics or video?

Thank you. I've got some people coming in the morning to help bring the tank in from the garage then i should have the aquascape in the tank by tomorrow night. I'll be able to get a good video of the finished scape.

Here is the finished rockscape. One piece on the far right broke off, so I have it being supported by another rock until I can get more mortar in. I glued it back together, but indint trust the glue for the long run.
