Thanks for the advice. I'm still undecided but I will post pictures when I start making some progress.

It's funny you posted this. I just tore my take a part trying to remove a Multi Barred Angel from the tank and I decided to rescape. I've always been pretty good at it but this gives me a new approach. Thanks!

Thanks Rev!

Will definitely be reading through this when I have more time.

Great to hear, I hope it helps you out!

got any tips on aquascaping this?

dimensions are 11.5" long 8.5" wide and once the sand bed is in 11" or so tall

Go back to page three post #23 and it shows flow in a nano tank. good luck :)

I took a peace that was almost come shaped that had a few branches come out of the wide end. I cut the branches off so that the rock would sit like a Indian TP. Then I cut the cone off and drilled a hole for a acrylic rod to fit in the hole. Then I found another large peace that looked like it was a tabling acro. I drilled another hole in the stock of this peace. This is what I got

The drill is to show the size. The 2 peaces weighs around 70lbs.

Here's mine. The rocks right side will remain and on the left will be two towers for Rics, and other cmorphs. Still need one more layer of reef epoxy on the top right shelf but its finally starting to come together ;)

i am glad i saw this before i set up my tank. I have a 75 gallon tank with about 50lbs of live rock. I know some of it is live rock and some of it is fake. These will help to build an awesome aquascape.

Great tips! Here is mine when I first started...inspired by crazy4acros design. Massive overhangs and open space.
