urbaneks Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Should be a great build. I'd try a scape where you get a nice long stretch of open water. Link to comment

got2envy Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Scape 2? sorry used my phone camera Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Ehhh, the 1st/original scape is much better imo. Link to comment
got2envy Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Me too...I like more places for corals...but still a bit open, Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Scape 2? sorry used my phone camera Wow thats nicer imo, the right hand side could be a tranquil atmosphere. following Link to comment
MyLiquidBlue29BC Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I like number two also. I think it uses the footprint of the tank in a more dramatic way. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I like scape 1 the best. Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think scape 2 has too much clutter on the left side, which really isn't open for growth. Link to comment
Kauai Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 a combination of 1 & 2 they both look great. Link to comment
Rehype Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Scape 2? sorry used my phone camera Love this Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Maybe a slightly bigger rock on the right side and your done imo. Link to comment

Speaker73 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Scape 2? sorry used my phone camera How's about making the rock structure on the left a bit less massive and putting something a bit bigger on the right that is "leaning" to the right. That would make a valley on the right third or so. You could also read up on FW aquascaping and use the principles that Iwagumi uses for his tanks. I have the same tank and have a custom rock structure for it but am thinking now that I want to use tonga branch rock to mimic a driftwood structure like FW tanks and plan my stocking accordingly.

gena Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 That tank!!!!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the first scape. It's perfection in my eyes . Link to comment

Agreed. I like scape one, but IMO looks kinda evenly spaced, try putting the middle rock structure to one side a few inches. Link to comment
