    First Attempt at Aquascaping

    Hi Guys I’m currently setting up my D-D ReefPro 900 and attempting my first aquascape using the D-D Aquascape Natural Aquarium Rock. I’ve used a cardboard cut out as the dimensions of the tank to lay out the rock. Do you guys have any feedback or tips to what I’ve put together in the...

    How I scaped my reef tank using mostly branch rock

    One of my favorite parts of reef keeping is building the scape. I like to use as much negative space as possible when I create reefs. Branching rock helps attain that look much easier. Creating an NSA (negative space aquascape) is easy using fast setting glue such as Glue Master’s cyanoacrylate...

    Should I bleach cure live rock that's had no load for 2 months?

    I recently purchased a second-hand 260g reef with a few fish, coral and live rock. During the move, the tank developed a leak. The tank is now resealed and curing, but it's been a long process and the fish and coral died within a few days after the move. I spent a whole weekend scrubbing hair...

    How to cure live rock that is now dry?

    I got a large amount of live rock over a year ago. Only some of it went into my tank cause I suck at aquascaping and I already had my tank running with fish and a small amount of live rock for over a year which makes it difficult to move stuff around. I ended up putting the rest into buckets and...

    Aquascaping done,?

    Finally got the aquascape done, or almost done. It's not how I envisioned it but it's what the rock I had allowed me to accomplish without breaking some apart. I did get several nice caves, plenty of hiding spaces, and some swim throughs. There's 200# of ARC base rock and 30# of Gulf rock...

    Honest opinion on my first aquascape?

    I went with AF Rock -- very heavy on plates and shelves. This is good for my shallow 5ft 100G tank. Except for the two bases, All the other rocks are suspended (i.e. overhangs and the like). Looking for honest, constructive, non-hurtful criticism, and opinions. Is this supposedly minimalistic?

    Corals on glass?

    Let me preface this by stating I'm new to corals. So I'm going to be setting up a 120g soon and was thinking about the background. What are everyone's thoughts concerning growing coral on the back glass? Is it even possible? Is it not recommended?

    Can I remove rock without causing too much issue?

    So I have had my tank set up for about 8 weeks, I used live rock and media from someone who broke down their tank and added in a large piece of eco reef. I removed one of the live rock a few days in to setting up as it was covered in aiptasia. The other rock is still in my tank but I’m thinking...
