We are finally getting to the point of aquascaping this 65 gallon tank! However, we are completely stumped on how we want to set it up so we are open to any and all ideas, tips and tricks.

Lets be real, this your chance to brag about how great your tank is! Let's see some of those reef setup!

See how they used the pillar method I would do something like that so there more open water and it removes the wall look

Your scape only matters for about a year. Then the corals take over. If you can plan for a year from now, you can create an awesome scape. This is my old 65. Just try to make it sturdy and give the fish lots of places to sleep.

I am currently into the negative space aquascaping with dry rock/mortar. It is light and easily shaped into whatever designs you want :)

Negative space is awesome and super fun to build. If you go that route, I suggest using thin super glue from gluemasters and rock powder. It makes bonds harder than the rock instantly and you won’t need to mess with mortar and the joints already blend since it’s powder from the rock.
