unnatural tanks

[usc932000]

Sorry to hear about your losses...I did soak mine for 72 hours before setting up the DT. I have another 55 cycling now with LR also. I just dont know what setup I wanna do yet, but I have been searching here for ideas.

Here is another thread on the same subject. It has a really cool ship's wheel.

Although I don't have pics, in my old 125 gal reef, I got two pieces of live rock both of which happened to have a a good right angle on them. So, I put them on top of each other to form the corner of a stone wall. So it ended up looking like the footing of a wall of an ancient greek ruin. Everyone who saw it thought it was really awesome, especially after the coral had grown in.
IMO, its a matter of scale. I don't think a 7" tall column is feasible at all, who would build such a thing? Its sooo fake. But, if you find stuff that is a bit larger scale to put in your tank, it ends up looking like a nice blend of humans and reefs. For example, instead of a 7" diameter ship's wheel, why not get a larger one and cut off a quarter of it and put that in the tank so it looks like a very shallow fringing reef that grew off of an errant ship's wheel...

Love your tank Hef! so cool!
The sunken ships and columns are pretty cool as well, just dont think I would do it in mine. But it is very cool to look at.
