moi_dar Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Some things I learn about scaping. Basically there are a few types of scaping: 1) More for fish, need a lot of lobangs. Nice curved rocks serve best in this type of scaping. Don't lean the rocks against any walls and try to stack the rocks creating as many lobang as possible. Create a higher back scape to make it looks nice. 2) More for corals... then stack as many rocks as possible to create a slope effect High at the back and low on the front. Make sure rocks are not those smooth and regular ones cos then the corals difficult to place on them unless you intend to glue them on. 3) Then there is the V shape valley scaping. Whereby the rocks are higher on both sides and got lobang in the centre. I think this one more versatile. Can suit both corals and fish if place nicely. Btw, remember to have a clear space for the sand bed if you intend to have starfish and sand dollar. I learn from others one. Hope it is useful though it didn't help me when I was scaping ha ha ha...

SRC Member fishtalk1517 Posted January 16, 2007 SRC Member Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'm back. Well indeed, the scape does looks better, however I got a point for u... Both the side rocks seems too near to the tank glass. U might wanna consider leaving gaps whereby there's room for the magnet cleaner to go thru for ur weekly glass maintenance Quote A person, himself can be his own Lawyer, but he can never be his own Judge ........
