I can't do rockscaping!

[rogerboi]

Guys .. take a look of what i did .. i dunno it look ugly not .. pls give me ur comments and advise..

[Alvin Tan]

ur rockscape is perfectly alrite..only the top part...is it secured??..

it may land on the sandbed if it is nt secured or interlock with the other LRs...

[rogerboi]

the top part is pretty secure .. quite impossible for it to drop .. but u all think i still need to put in more LR ?

[Alvin Tan]

in ur case....it is sufficient..but of cuz...introduce abit more will be great...

try not to add new LRs when u hav ur LS in already...it will increase the nitrite and some LS will die off..

wad kind of filter are u using?..

[rogerboi]

i using a RAINBOW.. HOF .. and weipro skimmer .. think maybe i'll introduce another 3 pieces ...

[giantbicycle]

wow..the tunnel is nice

[rogerboi]

haha .. giantbicycle .. u like that say .. i happy ... but then i think .. if i add in Corals .. then the whole tank shld be look ok and like .. packed ready ... so maybe shld not add more LR ready ..

[Qxnviolet]

ermz, u could try to scape your LRs in a way that allows you to place corals on them. I think ur scaping is alright but the middle part dun think can put corals?

[Achilles Tang]

Don't be afraid to do and redo your rockscape, especially once you get corals in and readjust your water circulation.

Try to look at diving photos of natural coralscapes, that will inspire you!

[colinsoon]

bro, honestly, i love your rockscape more then my old tank! cos a lot of holes and bridges for fishes to hide and swim around! tried doing something lidat, but then, not successful...

[cdckjn]

I think that the rockscape is fine - like what the rest say - introduce your livestock and corals and then readjust the rockscape to achieve the correct lighting and flow.

[rogerboi]

Yeah .. thanks guys .. i know wat to do ready ... will update u all soon ..

Juz been to the Members Tank & Specs section...

Anyone would like to post More pics of their's or any more interesting rockscaping?

Share share.

[Qxnviolet]

I'll start off with mine...heres a frontal shot. Considered many different ways to scape my LRs and decided on this simple slope which descends towards the left. I think it has a simple n clean look and gives me quite alot of place to put corals. Always wanted a some sort of a cave for my fishes to "retreat" into and you can see it right there near the right...maybe its not as interesting as some member's scape but it serves its purpose....

[Qxnviolet]

And to complete my contribution...a side view....

[rogerboi]

hmm...is it safe to lean the rock against the side wall of the tank?

[Qxnviolet]

hmm...is it safe to lean the rock against the side wall of the tank?

Hrmz, many reefers avocate against leaning anything on the tank walls....reducing pressure on the walls, preventing the walls from getting scratched....but i dun see any problem in using your tank wall to give your LR better support....as long as it doesnt bear its full weight on the tank wall, i think its pretty safe....i only lean my LRs on the back panel though, so i can clean the other 3 sides easier.....try leave a gap, big enough to do some work.

[rogerboi]

you must see .. cause if u are using internal pump .. it will vibrate .. then usually if u lean the LR on the tank panel .. the vibration may cause the LR to vibrate too. and then ..maybe .. after sometime .. the move out of place and collapse ... althought leaning against the glass does give better support ..
