Muges Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 So I'm currently cycling my 26 gallon marine tank. I've got my live rock in. Just wondering if it all looks alright. Link to comment
uwharrie Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 looks nice to me. Just make sure you have enough space between rocks and glass to get a magnet or scraper there and make sure you stacked rocks are stable Link to comment
Bennihanna87 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Looks great! Love to see people getting into reefing! Link to comment
FiveGallonSea Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Like uwharrie said make sure you have space to freely work on it. I had a terrible scape when i first started. Placing frags, cleaning, and moving things around was a nightmare. Make sure theres good clearance to do all that. Looks good though. Link to comment
Clown79 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I like it alot. I like the asymmetrical design. I highly recommend the flip mag for cleaning glass. That sucker gets in the smallest spaces and removes a lot. Well worth the price i paid. Link to comment
graemevw Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Looks great. I have a 2 little fishes nano mag and that only needs about 5mm gap to get in and clean. Its great, but maybe a little small for your amount of glass. Link to comment
Muges Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 My front glass has curved corners so I won't be able to use a magnet scrubber on those unfortunately Link to comment
graemevw Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 My front glass has curved corners so I won't be able to use a magnet scrubber on those unfortunately the 2 little fishes one I use works on those corners, thats why I got it, my tank is the same. Link to comment
uwharrie Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Mine has curved corners ( Biocube) I use a magnet scraper you just have to go slow Link to comment
Sailfish Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I would definitely remove the live rock most to the left in the picture (right side of the tank).Also, would be nice to rotate the live rock most to the right in the picture (left side of the tank) so that it would create more space from the glass, and possibly an intriguing narrow gorge between it and the main piece. That would be similar to the scape in my previous 5G kitchen tank Link to comment
burtbollinger Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 looks great, but would move the rock on the left over so its not so close to the glass. Link to comment
samnaz Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think it looks really good. Great job for your first try! Link to comment

holy carp Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think it looks quite nice for starters. I agree that moving it away from the glass on the left is better for cleaning and also allows some empty space in the tank to 'frame' the 'scape. And speaking of space, I would also consider putting a gap in between the arch rock and that large rock to the right. A bit of separation there will give negative space for the eyes to follow and will be an entertaining little canyon for the fish to swim through. If you overlap them a bit front-to-back so the arch rock is a bit in front of the large rock on the right, and you have to look in at an angle to really see the gap, it can create depth and discovery. IME, guests love discovering things that aren't immediately evident at a glance. Also, don't forget that corals will fill in a lot of the space that is currently empty. Good luck. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Link to comment
