Aquascaping for dummies (1 Viewer)

[Scfrady]

As a guy who lives his life in numbers - forward thinking artistic design is not in my mindset "it seams my wife has know this awhile "
I always hated the "wall" of rock in a reef tank - but for some reason every time I aquscape a new tank my plan is to not make "the wall". Then I finish - look back at the tank and admire " F#%^ wall" of rock I said I would never build. I alway happens to me. I am just a right angle guy.
I started building my wife's 50g and she was wearing me out about how the aquascape design must match our house "modern". i had a bunch of dry rock around and start stacking it up every time she would say "no" it looks like a wall of rock.
then I found "VidaRock" you can't build the wall it's " aquascaping for dummies".
I have had it in the 50g for 7 months now "nothing leaching" life is good


So I re- design our main 115g tank
For scale the two main tree pieces are 23" tall and about 22" wide


I am still moving coral in from the frag tank but here what I done so far

3cc does not have vida rock, vida rock is ceramic rock and costly at that, but they do make nice pieces.

Lol, I feel your pain on trying to make something other than a wall of rock. Looks like you found a good solution. In my current tank, I set up the rocks as two pillars but they both eventually crumbled into two rock-walls.

I usually dislike it when I see somebody commenting on somebody else's aquascape without being invited but..lol could you move the center rock so that it's off-center...

(Sorry, I had to say it)

but the rest of the scape looks sweet

Yes sir, 3cc does have some nice pieces.
Saw it with my own eyes.
And Yes it's pricy, saw that too.

Comments welcome "still adding corals to the pieces" so center one it's up front so I can reach it
Besides wherever I place it my wife will tell me to move it
