TAKE A LOOK!!! Aquascape!

[Strickland_673]

it has changed a little bit. i will post more pics when i get home.
it still has 2 caves and what not. it doesn't look natural but i like the caves.

PS. the "flipping bird" rock is gone

I think you should keep the "Flipping the bird" rock...it's gives your tank some attitude. I could see myself indulging in the taste testing of hopps, to the point where I might think the rock was trying to pick a fight with me. Could turn out to be very entertaining for the folks of Canreef if you had a video camera, and put yourself in the situation

Like someone said earlier, I believe aquascaping is always a work in progress...you get your foundation pieces where you want them, and then you're always building off them, or moving pieces around trying new things. You can always find faults with rock work, but in the end, it's what makes you happy when you look into the tank.

changed it a little. any better?

those three "legs" are too "level"
change it up
if they are the same height it wont look random.

The more I think about it the less I think it really matters. So long as you allow room for corals (not built to high or too close to glass) and it's stable. The corals will hopefully transform that into something totally natural anyways. I think it'll work but for sure I would personally remove that love rock sticking straight up it doesn't quite look right.

Just play puzzle with them.
Try and get the rocks to naturally fit together by just placing them against each other.
The natural dropped in look is really good at starting the process.

Just don't actually drop them. Did that with a frontosa tank once and blew the bottom out.

Side note...if siphoning is too slow for you this is a really fast and easy way to drain a tank.

+1 For getting rid of the "Love Rock" Other than that I kinda like it

It isn't "aquascape" until it hits the water!

Dry fitting it like that is a good start and can give you a general idea of where you want to take it. Once those pieces hit the water though, a whole different ball game!

Great start though!
