Show me your NSA work for your nano tank please

[Bahri]

Hi all


I am ready to make an aquascape for my 20 gallon cube tank

but I would like to see some inspiration of your tanks

 

[Who me?]

NSA in nano is difficult in my opinion.

I started with NSA in mind, started making openings and ended up with a classic arch / double arch

Mine for Waterbox Cube 20

2022-06-23. Added 2 extra pieces few months ago

I tend to like asymmetry because it helps leads your eye around the tank. Here's my rockwork in my 20g AIO.

Went with a taller scape due to it being a column tank but was glad with the outcome

My scape for the office 25g nano

The scape is in two pieces. It's supposed to appear as a single unit when the rocks are pushed together better.

Cool thread. Here's my new jbj 15g with my gsp nsa I relocated from my other tank.

Looks like an arch, not NSA or even HNSA.

Again, not NSA or HNSA. Just rocks in a corner, simple but not what the OP was asking.

I took a couple of pics this morning for my build thread! Hard to see the branches on the right since its all the same color right now but there are some top downs in my build thread on the first page somewhere. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! My tank is the 25 Nuvo lagoon.
Edit: Took another pic from different angle to show the right side better.

@Bahri I'm doing a HNSA build I've been working on for about five weeks now on the weekends for my Reefer 250. I may also add one to go with the Max Nano. I recommend starting with no more than 20lbs marco reef rock and a small and medium sized base rock. The small can be used as an island to keep GSP or zoas away and the medium can be used as the foundation. Lots of breaking up your rock too, as you'll want to focus on smaller pieces in the nano. Also, try to keep it at least 2 inches from the sides and no more than 60-70% to the top depending on mixed reef or LPS only. Flow isn't usually a problem if you build these right and no sand bottoms are entirely possible.

That's what I said. Started with NSA in mind but ended up with an arch. Was that not clear?

You must be a Blast at parties.

I'm getting ready to move the inhabitants of this tank (clowns and anemones) into a bigger tank. When I do, I'm going floating acro garden in this one. That should be a fun one to build.

I put these three warrior-like structures in two weeks ago. I took some inspiration from martial arts and movies like Pacific Rim. I also have a smaller island in the back too. My kids think they kind of look like Pokemon

Geez. Sorry to make you feel like your baby was ugly. I was expecting NSA as a final result but nice arch.
