Minimalist Aquascaping

[mattzang]

i do like these minimalist aquascapes, but do you guys feel like there's enough places for fish to hide? any issues overstocking a tank with minimal rockwork?

Plenty of room for sps to grow out

This is awesome, absolutely love the way you've got this set up

Hey guys, this is my first time putting together a reef tank. What do you guys think? The small piece in the middle is for a golden torch (in a distant future )

I really like it, I'd maybe have the left island slightly higher and I'm not sure I'd have the single rock so central!

Really dig it! How tall is the tank? Will you have adequate light penetration given the rock is all so low? Mollies, huh? interesting!

Thoughts ?

Thank you. The tank is 40cm high and I don't really need high par because I will only add corals that are living under 150 par.

Is this basically just one big piece of rock? A bunch of rocks epoxied together?

I'm getting started aquascaping my new tank also, gonna look something like this on both ends. The fragrance will be coming out though. Lol

Lol, I typed in frog man and phone changed it to fragrance.

The frog man looks cool in there.

Just make sure the rocks are resting on the glass instead of the sand.

This thread inspired me. :D

Here's the build in progress.

Wow

My minimalist nano reef

What size tank and what kind of light do you have?

Here's the scape I did for my 150g peninsula, about 40lbs or do of reef saver rock, held together with emarco. Lots of overhangs and room for sps, I would consider it pretty minimal.

My favorite type of tanks are the ones where you get an entirely different perspective depending on the angle of view. Great job scaping this tank! Will look killer when corals fill in :)

I am a big fan of modular islands like that. I can explain more if you want what I mean by modular.
