When (if ever) would you use tall aquascape structures in your tank?

My tank revolves around pinnacles that reach the surface. It provides a somewhat unique aquascape that allows fish to circumnavigate the pillars.


what variety of clown is that in the beginning? Around 45 seconds. Cinnamon maybe? Looking for a variety that gets larger!

I absolutely love the coral mix in this tank. Though I have a few softies, the lighting and flow in my tank have been too strong to support the variety that you demonstrate. Mostly SPS in mine but not for lack of trying. I have a 600 that reaches 42 inches tall and I bring the reef all the way to the top. I just like the wilder look.

I had a bleached frogspawn that opened perfectly and it was under the right lighting so it went back to its normal colour although I did miss the white tentacles with the blue tips.

For me more is ...Well more. My tanks have always had tallish structures with plenty of rock work in my reefscapes. I also have plenty of acros, they don't all need to be on the top of your reefscape. Some parts of my reefscape are just a few inches below the surface.

@fish farmer What are those pearl colored corals in the top right? Some type of Euphylia?
Here's a top down of the same coral with the 14 k leds blocked, frammer I've had for years and continues to grow heads where it sits.
