Trying to make a Pulsing Xenia tree, but it’s been slow to spread. :)

For lack of better term.. I am itching to set up my pico tank and I want to give it a tree look. Something tall and branchy instead of piles of rock for a different look.

Looking for ideas to see what you've all done, big or small. Share, inspire me!
Tree(ish)...

Here is my "Tree." Different style tank but I like it. Have to be creative with this type of tank from a rockscaping perspective. Enjoy!

It's great. I went softies for a bit and then back to FOWLR lol. So it looks like the original picture again. How do you like it?

Looks good. Wow, you fit a Yellow Tang in there! I started like you and went with a full reef. It is getting full though but I love the look of it. Why the move to FOWLR?

The Yellow Tang has been moved to my 187 FOWLR with the big boys. Very nice. Upload some pics! Would love to see it. Yeah fills out quick and cool to see with almost a 360 degree view. For me personally, I've never been big into corals. I've switched back and forth many times from reef over the years because I see these nice colorful tanks but honestly I much prefer lots of fish and a nice aquascape.

Love the shape. Fish must love swimming through it.
They absolutely do. Zig-zag all day within the swim throughs. All credit goes to Top Shelf Aquatics. They built a beautiful aquascape based on a description of what I had in mind. Very appreciative of what they built.
