my floating reef, what do you think?

[ws6kid]

Really beautiful. So unique. Corals are looking great also!

 

[Lunulata]

thanks
was also quite a work until it looked like this

I just want to add that i love the rocks on the sand at the right... i think it makes it look way better than if you left that out.

Or maybe scoot them a bit closer to the center so it doesn't look so symmetrical.

Looks amazing! Great work!

Unnatural-looking, but clever and unique. Corals look amazing...

Reef drop offs and caves are a real thing. This is like taking a cave ledge and placing it in a tank. Definitely natural.

Ugh, I've already argued about this.

Yes, they are a real thing. I am aware of that. A fish tank is like a shrunken-down reef. But as you said, it's like taking a cave ledge and placing it in a tank. On its own it looks weird to me, because it takes up the entire tank, and looks like it has nothing holding it up. Which to me looks unnatural.

In other words, if fish tanks are shrunken-down reefs, this one does not look shrunken down, and makes it look almost out of proportion, I guess, which is what I meant when I said it takes up the entire tank. Just my opinion, and I'm not changing it, so I wish people would stop telling me I'm wrong.

I have already another flat piece produced for the front... this will be the home for zoanthus.

yes I like that as well...
otherwise it would be too much sand.

You are right, my tank is not everyone taste would be boring if anybody likes the same things.

Can certainly understand when people say it looks unnatural... it is not something you would see everywhere.

Hi Guys,
still havent finisehd how i made my reef sorry for that!
But I did a quick feeding video of my fish instead.

 

[jwd911]

Beautiful tank!

 

[hbetanzo]

Wow!!! It's really beautiful!!!

 

[Lunulata]

thank you guys!

 

[revhtree]

Awesome man!

 

[Lunulata]

Still working on my movie, does anyone has a question which need to be answered?

 

[DanP-SD]

You have a large looking Volitans Lionfish and some small-looking anthias. Has that worked out well? How big are they? I ask because I love lionfish but have been reluctant to add them to my reef for fear of what they'll eat.

BTW, great tank. I don't really know (or care) if it looks natural or unnatural. It looks good and would be a great conversation piece in any house, plus the benefits of an open sand bed and flow all around the rock are probably pretty significant. You just need to find a mini submarine camera and you'll have the best pics on the forum.

 

[Lunulata]

Thank you!
you are right, the flow is great in my tank

I actually have a submarine cam, but havent really figured out how to make great pics
haha

about the Lion, I fed him pretty well... and a lot... But he was in there just for a few weeks as a friends shop hasent got the space to keep him.
