Is your aquascape balanced?

[Jack Ravensbergen]

Hi, nice video.

You give me some ideas for my new tank.

Thank you for share

All depends what you want.
Sps / lps / mixed reef?
If you start your scape then don't start exactly in the middle of your tank but more to the left or right.
A lot of inspiration you can find on google as well "aquascape"
Don't forget that less is more , leave enough space for coral to grow.
Also keep in mind that you don't have "dead" places for your flow.
Good luck an let the fun begin
Grtz jack

What are your thoughts? For a WB 70.2 60cm x 60 x 55 high this would be around 35cm high.

I like the shape! Lots of surface area for corals which is good!

Need help with this scape new 20 gallon nano scape. Should I remove the middle bridge and create two islands with a gorge between them and move them a bit closer to one another? Create more of a diagonal arch from the bottom of the right pile to the top of the left pile? Should I completely scratch this scape? And create something like the image attached at the end?

Imho I would take out the arch and leave them as two separate piles. That negative space would be beautiful and it would look so amazing once the corals are grown in!

Fixed. Font left piece was too bare. Gave it 5 ledges from old montipora skeleton. Think im almost there.

Excited to see how this aquascape turns out! Any updates for us??

The aquascape I’ve been working on! Just the base structure is done for now (no details yet), so still far from halfway but hey

Hi everyone working on my Reefer 350 Aquascape. Trying to balance and leave space for corals and fish. Would love to hear what people think as this is my first aquascape in over 10yrs.

So i decided to remove the front piece on the right to give more sand bed space and it opens up the cave for fish.

The 5 inch pertrusion of the overflow across 11.5" was rough to deal with. I got slightly ahead of myself with all the space i had scaped orginally. This is going to be a blenny dominated SPS build. 1 small tang species and thats it. So the fact i ended up with much less balance, ill get over it for the fishes sake.

220 gallon! My second aqua scape ever so making something this large was a very long, frustrating process haha. I think I’m finally finished though, the pictures don’t do it justice!!

I really like where you’re going with this!! I think the two structures look great together. Let us know how it progresses

Look's like a pile of rocks right now, but I tried to picture my goals. The shelf in the center with branching SPS corals. Monti's on the outer peaks. Torches, Hammers, Duncan's, frogspawn across the mid level. Zoa's, mushrooms, acan's along bottom and on sand. Though about taking out the center base rock to leave a large negative space. ??

I've added sand since this picture.

This is awesome, VERY well done, I'm sure this took a LONG time and a lot of patience.

What putty/epoxy did you use? Did you use any clamps/support while doing this?

 

[terraincognita]

Oops here are the pics

Is that pukani?

 

[terraincognita]

if you decide to do this on your next build. message me. more than happy to give you some tips.
and I don't need credit, just pics on the progression.

Im gonna start working on this!

Want to order the putty, But you mentioned you were looking at another one that was off-white? I kind of like that color idea. Not that it will matter in the long run but hey.

You used this one?
