Aquascaping pictures, Post It!!!

[ouling]

Can someone post some pictures of really unique reef tank aquascaping? I did the live rock wall thing and find it unimpressive. My tank is shallow but deep and I can't come up with any ideas. I am untalented in this enterprise so any inspiration would be great!

 

[mockery]

what about a canyon type of look?? just an idea

Did you see the thread with a link to the video on aquascaping? It was just posted recently but I cant find it. THe video had some really neat tips.

What size/dimension is your tank?

I wouldnt call mine really unique, but defiantly not the wall! Pictures really don't do it justice. I am just not sure where to put corals:sad:

If I ever have to tear down for some reason I will recape the tank with some pillars using plastic rods. I like how fish are able to swim around the rocks. Seems like more of a reef.

I have never saved any pics nor can I remember the link to one of them. But one in general stands out to me. It was a cube tank with a single pillar structure in the middle and it had a few shelves coming off of it. The weight balance was perfect for the pillar. I know someone else has seen the same tank. I think it was on reef central.

I really like the one in here.

Thats the one. I now its been seen in alot of threads. Simple I like. There was another link where a guy used eggcrate to build a wall along the back of his tank and used some pillars in the front. Heres an alright pic of it.

I love the use of Tonga branch in your system rostato I wish we had rock like that in the S.A trade

Joe, that's a great option, but that price would kill my wallet!

<span style="color: black;">I'm not sure about ceramic. I have a few friends that do ceramic engineering-they R&D ceramic cylinder blocks for more fuel efficient cars-and told me that it will leach chemicals pretty bad. That is one of the reasons why ceramic bowls are all coated or glazed.</span>

Thanks. The only problem with the tonga branch is that it's going to be hard to get corals to stick to it. We'll see in a few months when I start to add more corals...
