I'm pretty happy with my rockwork so I show it off.
I have flat spots up high for SPSs, some big tall overhangs for less light and lots of nice size caves for fish, shrimp and my serpent star.

It's a 75 Gal. AGA. I bought it at a moving sale for 50% off.
Yeah , I have two koralia 4s and they really moved the sand. I think it looks neat.
 
Visegrip, Looks good, but are you not worried about stagnation and general poor water flow with the rock so close to the rear glass?

It's pretty hollow in the back. I also have 30X+ GPH flow . So nope, no worries.

The sand bed is nice! As well as the rock work!

But here is mine, and I do plan on re-doing the aquascaping....maybe buy some rock that provide more shelves so i can place things on...but about 190 lbs or so...pretty dense peices in there...

Well, here is my 75 gal
..I definitely want to add corals and I am hoping I'll have some places to put them. I really like the aquascape this way and am hoping I can do something nice with it.


Ya know, I put all my rock work smack dab in the middle with at least 3 inch clearance from any glass..hope I didn't make a mistake by not putting it close to the back so it would give me more room out front

Any way for a sticky? I've been searching the archives like mad and this is constantly being reborn. I've opened thread after thread checking out aquascaping. It would be nice if everyone who lurks could post their picture to keep it up.
I have no rocks yet... soon

Oh..wait til you shop for rock!!! ..I can honestly say I had as much time, effort, and FUN hand picking my rock as I do any livestock! Especially if you have alot to pick from! It's like a kid in a candy store!! :jumping:
