Kick rocks: What do you use for aquascaping other than rocks?

[Alcoholik]

Kick rocks: Czego używasz do aquascapingu poza kamieniami?

Zwykle, gdy mówimy o aquascapingu, tak naprawdę oznacza to „jak umieścić kamienie w moim zbiorniku?” Rozumiem. Jest to ważny fundament dla twoich koralowców, a skały zapewniają wiele innych korzyści, ale czy rozmowa o aquascapingu to coś więcej? Czego jeszcze używałeś do aquascapingu w swoim zbiorniku lub czego używali inni? Udało się czy była to porażka? Czy wpadłeś na ciekawy pomysł na aquascaping, którego jeszcze nie wypróbowałeś? Być może nachylałeś piasek, kreatywnie wykorzystywałeś stojaki na odłamki lub aquascaperowałeś tylko z koralowcami. Opowiedz nam o swoich doświadczeniach z aquascaping poza skałami i podziel się swoimi wskazówkami!

Osobiście staram się wykorzystywać naturalne skały

Translation:
Personally, I try to use natural rocks

Most of my scape is from rock and coral skeletons from a 110g I had 30 something years ago- blue ridge, red pipe organ and some large pieces of rock- coralline is slow to grow on the blue ridge and it's the only rock that hair algae grows on- along with the powerheads

I’ve done a few foam reefs before and considering it again on my next build.

I siliconed a 5g tank on to the bottom of my RSM250 to create a platform for aquascape. Does that count?

Glass bottles! @Paul B gave me the idea with his reef (I think he's at 9-10 bottles now), so I tried my hand at it and I absolutely love the look.




Here's my waiting list of bottles to turn into reef bottles, I've got ideas for each one.

Mostly just the real deal. 95% Hawaiin, Marshall and Fiji (had for years) with some added man made live cured rock stacked the old school way with no need for supports. Of course I have not tried building any arches or other wild designs. Now I do like the oceans wonders purple frag rocks. I bought a couple off Amazon to easily create some zoa and shroom colonies on the sand bed w/o the need for glue. They blend in pretty well until coralline takes over and the polyps encrust.

Custom DIY Frag Stand

Where did you get this??

Where did you get this??

The image source is listed under the picture, but I'm not sure about the origin of the frag stand. I believe that @vetteguy53081 has used something similar and may be able to share where he found his stands.

I've used cigarette filters and superglue to hold mine together. Also drilled out more holes , caves if needed . Also glued sand on the joints to hide the connections . I like the idea of shell’s in the floor . Would look a bit like my lake tanganyika tank then .

I used acrylic rods that were attached to acrylic strips on the bottom of my tank. I cut "teeth" in the rods so that the rocks would not slide around (I had an engineer goby that constantly redecorated).

Trying PVC on this latest one

PVC, Epoxy for this one. Dead rock still cooking so no real updates on this tank.

This is crazy cool. Wow

I'm getting a 3d-printed treasure chest with my loved ones' names in it <3

I loved using driftwood. Always tons of plants and now in the Salty side of things using Macro in the DT. Have also tried artificial coral but never quite liked that look and also pvc integrated in the rock for support.

I would love to see your tank. Driftwood is a rare occurrence on the salt side. I love it though.
