forcible79 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Hi, I have started to setup new reef aquarium. I will feed 2 clown and maybe 1 blue tang or yellow tang i am not sure. In future i hope i will set up zoa garden. But i can not be sure regarding how to be the rock design. i read some article but unfortunately i can't design. After design fix, i don't want to change rock places in future. Could you please support and recommend me how i should design it. You can see attached my current design. Thank you Link to comment
GotamaHuy Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Sorry if I am mistaken but soon after you put a tang in there it will be too small for it. Tank looks like it's under 20 gallons. Here is a link for aqua scaping. Link to comment
SantaMonicaHelp Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Since 308BCE, the Golden Ratio has been noted as aesthetically pleasing. I suggest going with a design that follows the Golden Ratio. You can try googling "Golden Ratio rock scapes" or "Golden Ratio fish tanks" to get some good practical examples. Hope I can help. - C.

forcible79 Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thank you so much for your help guys. I changed my design. I think it's better right now. If i had more different shape rock, i could make different design but with my current rock this is my best. What is your thoughts? Is iy better? Link to comment
jstuver Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I'd say it's better, I myself like things not so symmetrical but in the end do it how you like it as that is all that counts. Link to comment
Legendary Corals Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Once filled in with corals that rock scape will look very nice. Also, avoid any fish that get large or make too much waste. It will definitely cause problems in your tank. Here's a great link that will help you decide what fish to keep in your tank: http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/74703-lgreens-ultimate-guide-to-nano-fish/ Link to comment
Jruberti Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I like the area at the front that's flat; it'll make for nice coral placement. Looks good! If you are looking for suggestions, I'd remove the middle rock but I'm a sucker for 2 pillar aquascapes . Here's what I'm thinking... Link to comment

I'm not a huge fan of that display, but what really matters is that you like it. I like asymmetrical scapes. - C. Smith Link to comment
Clown79 Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 The best way to aquascape is allowing for flow to get all around the rocks so you don't have dead zones. Some like a wall of rocks, some like 2 different islands, some build cave areas for fish that like to hide or low light corals. You can play around with them, theres no perfect rock shapes but you can epoxy them to make different shapes. Try looking up your specific tank on google and you'll get some ideas. You can also draw out some ideas before rearranging things. As for tangs, if the tank isn't 70g or greater, don't add them. They get highly stressed in small tanks, prone to disease, especially ich, produce lots of waste, and need lots of swimming rm. Link to comment
PaulMrks Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 I hate rock work. I like solitary islands. And that way everything gets flow. Everything is separated. Nothing grows on top of each other. Or fights. If you keep the islands species specific. You don't have to. Just a thought. Link to comment
Canadianeh Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I am setting up a new Fusion 40 gallon tank, and purposely overbought Marco rocks just so I have more choice of rocks. Followed this thread! Link to comment
