CosmicCanine Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Okay so ive been wanting to rescape and give my tank that "simple yet elegant" look. So today I caved and took out all my live rock. i got some dry rock and did a scape..... yeah.... im crazy i know... Link to comment
CosmicCanine Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 At least you admit it Hahaha. Did I do a bad thing? Like is it bad that I did this. I feel like part of me is missing now. Idk. Link to comment
CosmicCanine Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 *Sighs* I hope you like it. Lets see it I have no glue so all my mushies and zoas are in the sand. once glued it will be an open sandbed. Link to comment
da1001 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Is that all of the rock? You went from about 10 pieces to like 2...? I hope you will be adding more and its just due to the lack of reef putty, rather than trying to go for a more elegant look. Link to comment

I was actually keeping it like this.. lol......... give me your opinion on it bro. Link to comment
da1001 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Well, I think you will find that you want more room for coral placement, with more than one level in the water column for different light strength for your corals so you can get them all at the height that they like best. Now, don't get me wrong. I like the look of it now since its so natural. I could jump into the ocean and find miles and miles of seabed just like the above FTS you have, but its not a "reef" look and does not give you the versatility that you will need to make your corals look best unless you want to keep very few total and only the easiest growing ones. That might be your plan for all I know, but if you ever want to try something new I would add more rock. Also, more rock is more filtration and beneficial bacteria in your tank. I am worried that the switch from lots of live rock to very little dry live rock might become a problem with natural filtration later on and you might see your levels swinging harder and pissing off your corals. Just my 2 cents, I hope it helps though. Link to comment
CosmicCanine Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 I understand.....Im working on it Link to comment
tentacruelz Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I agree with Da1001. Personally I think you could be going in the right direction. You've basically got 2 little rock islands going, I would elaborate on that.. Add a little of your live rock and build the left side up a bit higher and a piece or 2 on the left. To me, it just looks a little too simple now. Link to comment
da1001 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Great man, I hope it works out for you. I had nothing against your original scape, but if it had been me I would have tried to move that bottom middle rock just a bit farther back and tossed the front right rock that is really flat. That would have give you the nice arches look both from left to right but also from front to back as well. That seems to look the nicest in our reef tanks. Link to comment
