Here’s a bunch of scapes iv done. Small to lg.
I love these. I saved them to my phone. I figured I'd share for whomever else wants inspiration, or just appreciates scapes as much as me.
The way the sun hits in the winter makes it hard to get good pictures without glare but they show the rockscape. This is all Real Reef rock except one piece of old Tonga shelf. I laid it all out on a table, used a band saw to cut pieces (to create stable flat bases and to get pieces to fit together). I also drilled holes and used acrylic rods to lend support — then glued it all up using two-part epoxy for large joints and crazy glue gel for smaller connections. It’s been very stable for years now and has lots of mounting points.
Here’s one from when I was setting it up. The rockscape hasn’t changed from this.

55g scape day after it settled... the rock from the 29g was used when upgraded
In my opinon the way that light casts into your tanm is worth the inconvenience. That is the reflection of your light w/ natural light correct? Or do you have a sunrise setting? Lol, or are my eyes interpreting things.
My heart dropped to see you have no build thread. Your tanks are stunning. You should for hobby newbies.
It’s in the works. I’ve always been disappointed to read a build thread and find that it’s not complete. I guess it’s like starting to binge a new tv show and then realizing there are only a few episodes in the can. So I always figured I’d wait until the tank is done and then post all the pics along the way. The problem is I’m never done and keep changing things. But I guess it’s done enough and time to get the build thread up. Stay tuned.
I'm going back through and looking at corals and placements for my tank coral map plan.

That's the whole point I thought!We'll see how long I hold out before I cover it with corals .
I like your top angle pic. I am starting a 200g (slowly) and it will be viewable from above as well as front and side. This is another dimension not everyone has to think about!Here's what I came up with.
Couple of islands with a nice swim thru on the left and some good space for hiding/flow behind the scape. 50lbs of reefcleaners rock
No after pics because it's still cycling!
I wonder what this looks like from above? Amazing layout. Great balance!Tonga branch dry rock on Red Sea 750XXL
