I have wanted to re-scape for a while now in my 75gl and my tank recently came down with Marine Velvet forcing me to take every piece of rock out to catch the remaining few holdouts that refused to play nice on their way to the copper treated QT tank.

I'm including the old, the new and the middle of the rebuild showing zip ties, reef putty and clear plexiglass rods so people can get an idea of what doing one of these overhang looks requires. (not pitched to the right on the middle shot was my artistic inspiring preferred beverage, which I believe to be a must. (Please don't let the wires on the final shot throw you off, Im in the middle of building out an external control box which is going to look amazing when it's done).

I'd like to think mine is minimalist, although I need to take better pictures...

Plan to have a few SPS colonies on each rock formation with room to grow big.

I think your aqua-scape looks fantastic. I could envision three large sps with a couple gorgonians and a couple of staghorns in the back.
Thats whats so great about minimalist aqua-scape, you could do a million different things.

I used 45 pounds of billysreefconnection rock to form what I think is a minimalist scape in a 72 gal tank. Opinions?

My rock at least is minimalist, with the corals strewn around it's a little messy looking lol. It's a standard 20 gallon rimless with about 10-12 pounds of reef cleaners rock, all the rock is just about a year old.
