Hello,
This is the aquascape of my 220g Display Tank. Tried to keep it "Airy" so that the water can flow through the rocks and the fish have enough places to hide and swim through. The left side is a bit more loaded to hide the overflow to the sump. Flow is generated by two Tunze 6105 and one 6040 connected to a Seasweep (the one in the middle). The tank is now running for nearly 6 months.

Aquascape for now in dry build...

No water and this 36" wide, 30" front to back, 26" tall tank is still in the garage until my "allowed space" is freed up inside.

The pic was taken with a 400W Radium lamp and was very blue. I converted the pic to grayscale to make it easier to see the rockwork.

Way too much rock still but the idea is to create a C shaped cove face the right front corner with a small island if front and another in back of it.

Mostly Buna Branch and it so nice to use since the pieces naturally lock in place.

Aqua scape of my 110 gallon display. I kept the rocks off tge back and I have a strong powerhead keeping the flow moving anything that gets back there to the front. The powerhead in the back also pushes some flow beneath both islands. I would like to move to a 125 one day and only have one overflow box instead of two to add more scaping and swimming room.
