How-to aquascape 50-ish lbs of liverock

Wow, thanks for the fast response…

Ya that’s temporary, I have no background yet and I will move/hide the gear. Speaking of backgrounds, what do you think: black, blue, other?

Any other feedback?

Thanks

i think it looks cool just the way it is

It does look real good the way it is now. I would paint the back of the tank a tourquoise blue. This colour will compliment the coralline that will eventually grow on the glass.

Bump!

Ditto on the backing. Blue is the color I went with. Black is just too dark. I'd say with that much rock the way you have it set up already is about right. Its hard to aquascape tall tanks with small footprints.

I have a 92gal corner tank which also has the small footprint / tall tank dimensions, and I also started with a tall 2' piece of dead coral and rock. I put it right in the back corner and built a base of big slabs of tuffa rock radiating out from there. Then I put all my live rock on and around that stable foundation. Came together far nicer than expected and has remained essentially unchanged for the past 3 years.
So I guess my only advice would be to put your biggest pieces down first around the spire and build on that. Try to make a couple good sized tunnels with the large pieces. Looks good so far.

looks good the way it is try not to stack the rock by that i mean try to keep as little area as possible from touching other rocks make alot of caves and overhangs
