Or did you mean your ability not to remember how much you've spent is what brought you to us? 😉 (I've heard boat people say reefing is "expensive" for whatever that's worth.)

JoshO Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I absolutely love this thread! Planning for a future tank is what I spend a lot of my time doing. My plans are a reef edge with a bommie or 2, I think Sandro Wagner (wensano on Instagram) did it so well. I have a folder on Instagram where I save images from reefs that I'm going to use as my inspiration! I'll attach Sandro's tank too 👍 10 Quote Link to comment
DNR88 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I especially like the second picture! 👍 3 Quote Link to comment

I love the reef edge and channels that you showed, def will be something I'd like to emulate one day as well on a larger tank 2 Quote Link to comment
DevilDuck Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Lesson today is that the best reef tank is a home by the ocean. 1 5 Quote Link to comment

Reefing is the closest I get to the ocean except a couple times a year. Certainly not the expense of either hobby. Lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I'd ideally like a huge area to Scape but future tanks are limited to 4ft apparently 😂 2 hours ago, DNR88 said: This is probably my favourite. Simple but alsof very interesting. And another one.

mcarroll Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 After so many great pics on this thread it strikes me how realistic the lighting was during the hobby's "halide years"....very consistent with the look of these photos. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
Pjanssen Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 GBR Most of my shots of the dive were close ups, so not much in the way of aquascapes 5 1 Quote Link to comment
