Large Aquascape

NoviReefGuy · May 28, 2023

Hello Everyone.. I have been collecting parts and pieces fro my build and its time ( nicer weather) to start the aqua scape. My tank dimensions are 120"L x 40"W x 36"H.. I am planning a mixed reef so I wanted enough surface at various depths and in flow areas .. I have @ 1000 lbs of Marco Rock ( shelf, base and reg) I'd really like your feedback.... I have thick skin... this is mocked up in my garage with a rolling stand and PVC too. outline the tank... Thanks for your advise and feedback....

That's gonna be one heck of a puzzle to put back together (and heavy too)

yeah, that's the next challenge.. I wanted to get an idea of what it might turn out like.. then I was going to glue a few sections together.... I was going to use a hoist to lift and place in the tank... that should be fun....

Only thing I would do is level out the rocks that aren't horizontal.

Looks pretty good! Only considerations might be the height if you are going to have SPS on top, you might lower the height to no more than 50% tank height. Once you get colonies grown out - if they are growing out the top of the tank, it will greatly effect flow and fish behavior. Also, being able to remove pieces of the aquascape if needed is VERY useful in the long term, so adjusting things so it is not one monolith, but several different removable pieces. But, doing that might effect the aesthetic you are going for as well.
