Due to a manufacturing error the tank dimensions are 36" x 15" x 18"

Just keep in mind I wanted 20" of width for more depth but got stuck with 15", I did not choose 15"

 

It is 40 Gals

 

SPS Reef w/ Minimalist Look (as in negative space for fish)

 

Pick your favorite! Try to ignore camera skills and just focus on the scape...

My favorite is the first one, addressing chad, I do have a large pagoda cup I plan to put in the dead center stage

 

I also feel it to be a waste to lie one of these amazing pieces on its side

 

I do have double the rock, these scapes are just the final cut

I don't understand why people like the goddamn V so much. Please explain, the shape doesn't rub me right

 

Keep in mind there will be close to 3in of sand...

Do we at least agree to use the rock on the right (in post one and two)?

 

I pictured tabling acros shooting towards the center in aquascape one, 2 would need to be vertical colonies

Id go with the 3 rock setup. I really like the minimal look but to me it would get kind boring pretty quick and I would want that 3rd rock to ad coral to.

One of the islands look like a leg ahah.

I don't particularly like any of them, TBH. I've found that instead of larger rocks, I prefer to break them apart and rebuild them in funky ways.

Honestly, in the first picture, you won't find it very easy to expoxy your SPS pieces to that rock structure on the left. It will wind up giving you more of a headache than anything.

 

Your best bet for functionality and aesthetics is the scape in picture number 2 in my opinion. The last one is okay too, but I still think the second one is where the monies at.

Take #5, lay down the "V", and scootch the middle island over to the right.

 

Boom, my vote.

 

I like that, but lay down the middle one too.

out of what you presented, I liked 2. however, I'd think that breaking up rock and creating your own shape that could be made more functional and prettier to look at might be a better option.

I have over five pounds of small rubble and rock saved in order to create weird shapes, if I do number 2 I will try to make the V a little more crazy looking. I will take note of your suggestions in laying a pice or two down as well.

 

Overall I liked this system of feedback and think more people should have scape polls, I find it fun! :lol:

 

The whole point of this is to get some constructive (very punny) feedback and just play around with the scape.

Keep in mind the goal for this tank is to win TOTM in two years, so I'm trying have high standards when it comes to, well, everything I guess.

They all look unnatural. So I so none of them.

 

So I so don't care

Btw, how are you getting those rocks to stand up like that?

I used a Dremel to flatten certain edges/points

For one piece I had to use a Sawzall because it was so thick...

 

Your all entitled to your own opinions, just don't expect me to like your comment (like 6 gallon nano reef) :P
