klabuckeye Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 I like the island rock. Did the same for some Xenia to keep it from spreading everywhere. Link to comment
Rpc07 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Here it is finally wet. I'm in the process of slowly transferring all live stock and coral from my biocube. I know it looks lonely with just the clowns but I'm only transferring 1-2 fish per week so I don't shock the bio load. Link to comment
Matteo Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 MORE ROCK just my opinion. Looks good so far though! Link to comment

Rpc07 Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'm enjoying the simple in cluttered display. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Agree with more rock and it would be too symmetrical for me but listen to your heart & head, you know what you like. Just make sure to give fish enough hiding places, or shrimp or other inverts even, etc. Link to comment
Matteo Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Jusssst saying, less rock also means less filtration... Link to comment
Rpc07 Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 So I've decided to add some more rock. The minimul rock was pleasing at first but didn't leave me many places for corals and started to look a little bare to me. Here is the new scape. Link to comment
Legendary Corals Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think rather than having a center rock, a large LPS would looks better as a center showpiece. Unless you're planning on filling the center with some encrusting corals. Link to comment

Unless you're planning on filling the center with some encrusting corals. I still have a good amount of space between the top of the center rock to the top of the tank. Thinking of adding a nice sps piece there. Link to comment
zsxking Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Honestly the harbor scape looks a bit ... boring. It's too balanced from left to right. I would take out one side of the edge, and move the island towards that side. Then rise the back pile of rock a bit higher in the opposite side. Also given more space, you will be able to add a rock or two to the island to make it look more interesting too. Link to comment
Gooburz Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 No need for more rock, LOVE the minimal rock scape. I do the same thing in my Deep Blue 80 Breeder, see link below. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/367251-gooburz-deep-blue-80-breeder-build-pics-31-march/ Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I like it! Plenty of room for coral to get light and fish to hide, plus there's lots of open water. One mistake I made with my first scape was not leaving enough room for coral to grow between the rock and glass, plus still be able to scrape the glass clean. Otherwise thumbs up! Link to comment
Rpc07 Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 How is the tank? Damn sorry I missed this. The tank is coming along nicely I can see corals starting to encrust the rocks. I'll get some pics later. Link to comment
CuhRazy Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I just ordered some rock from reefcleaners for my nuvo 10 and this was what I was going for so hopefully I can do the same! Looks great! Link to comment
