Hello to all. I have learned a lot on R2R in the last several months and I am honing in on what my equipment and livestock list will be. I am looking for a little inspiration of FTS shots to get some ideas for aquascape and coral placements. My display tank goals are as follows:
1. I have access to a 180 gal tank and want to do a split display
2. 120 gal will be a mix reef of all types of corals and some macro algae, nothing in particular to be dominate, just a little of everything. Likewise the fish and inverts will be some big (leaning towards a Rock Beauty and Blue Caribbean Tang, yellows are a bit pricey right now) a school of blue-green chromis and some other singular/ paired fish for color. This tank is not planned to be stuffed full of corals but to have a nice balance of coral color, rock, and swim space.
3. The 60 gal side will be a dedicated sea horse build and include some equally slow docile fish like pipe fish, etc. and an assortment of corals or sponges specifically selected for them. Ditto from above regarding balance of coral and swim space.
As stated would love to see pics of your tanks (particularly seahorse tanks) of similar sizes and livestock for aquascape inspiration. I have tried looking thru build threads but with all the side bars you can get lost pretty easy.
Thanks in advance.
