aaron186 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Working on my first attempt at saltwater tanks. I'm a bit worried I bought rocks that are too big. Please let me know if you have any suggestions Link to comment
outerorbiter Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Looks good! Maybe add one more on left to go higher? Link to comment
Elizabeth94 Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Doesn't look like too much rock to me. How many pounds of rock is that? Just go with a look you like, and try to plan your scape based on what you want to keep (if you are planning of having coral). Rock is your biological filtration, so you don't want to skimp out by not having enough with your planned bioload. Link to comment
aaron186 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 theres about 12lbs of rock. Want to do corals with 1-2 fish Link to comment
PieMan2k Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 What's the light on that tank? Rather what is your equipment list? Wanting to do a 10g aswell. Yours looks pretty clean and organized Link to comment
hey Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 a quick way to make the scape a tad more interesting 2 islands are generally more interesting than 1, keep the arch and the bottom left rock lose the rock that connects them and that tiny rock in front of the arch 2nd, angle the arch to where the right side is more toward the front right corner of the tank and the left side is more pointed toward the back this should give a sense of openness with the 2 seperate rock features as well as a sense of front to back depth with the angle of the arch also maybe move the far left rock an inch inward to make cleaning the glass easier Link to comment
