Minimalist Aquascaping

[Mapongamike]

my tank is 2 months and loving the minimalist approach. Add live rock under in sump to have more surface area.

This thread has been alive for almost 7 years now which is amazing so I’m sure the original posters Reef Savvy tank is either not around anymore, or looks absolutely amazing. I wish I would have found this before I made my “minimalist” negative space aquascape, because although I love my scape it’s not what I envisioned. It’s also super hard, in my opinion to scape a 36x12x12, or I just suck at it. But here’s what I got! Haha

Actually, I think your scape is fantastic! But honestly, you’ve go to get yourself a black background to make it pop and hide the equipment/wires. It’s hard to see it’s true beauty ‘as-is.’

Everyone's thoughts on my minimalist aquascape...

sir, this is beautiful.

I use biodigest/bioptim.

I used to have a fairly minimalist aquascape but then all my corals grew and I accumulated too much crap on my sandbed :bigsmile:

I'm working on cleaning up corals on sandbed and thinning some pieces out to get it looking more open again

That’s an awesome looking tank. Corals look mature. How tall is the tank?

Not sure how “minimalist” this qualifies for but I’m proud of my NSA for my new RSR625

OK, quit holding out and tell us how you did that.

Totally dig it. Nice job. Is that the new cornerstone branch?

Thank you, and yes it is.

 

[sbeason]

I really love the cornerstone branch scape you made. How did you secure that to the tank wall?

Just started a new cube and thought id share my slow progress.

I'm getting a new reef savvy 120 gallon tank and would like to take the minimalist approach to aquascaping.

Anybody have some nice reef tank pictures so I can get some ideas?
