Tonight I worked on putting the dry-rock that I had into the Display. Never a task I look forward to as I just always feel that it could be better. Sorry about the crappy phone pictures.
Anyways, the thing to remember when you look at the pics is that I have about 75 more lbs of "live" rock still in a tank at my old house waiting to move over and fill out the "look". Although the minimalist look has become more popular lately, I feel that this needs to go higher and so hopefully the other rock will eventually accomplish this. The "live rock" has been in a tank about a year with a couple Chromis so although it has very little Coraline algae, it should be alive enough to help me jump start this tank. I will also be using a 30 pack of Prodibio Startup to get things rolling. Here's the pics. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...1-30215735.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/r...30215904-1.jpg |
I personally like it as is :-)

Thanks! That's cool because I love the look in your tank!

Both piles at either end of my tank actually had rocks higher up when I first scaped but I quicky realized that viewing corals so high wasn't as interesting to me so I lowered both ends and am much happier with it. There is more opportunity to look down at corals and fish have more room to cruise the reef top I find.

I am also a fan of an open looking reef
With my 75g I am limited, so I had to make some taller 'berbs', but I am liking your open look Can't wait to see what it looks like once you add the rest of your LR :smile: |
Is that some of the rock I gave you?
|
Hey Leah, there is a few pieces of that against the overflow wall. It was a base type of rock and that's what I've tried to use it for. I drilled a bunch of holes in it to allow for frag pegging if it ended up being visible. The rest of this comes from eco-reefer and marco-rocks.

looks good mark! i personally think it looks a little more natural if you build overhangs or use rock crevices as fish shelter rather than a set of caves on that one end but minor stuff. i'd keep it low and leave your sps lots of space like you have it.
any jig-dancing lately? |
Mark that's it for the pictures
WOW COME ON as Kein would do :drinking::pop2: |
