lol... only 2 rocks.. you can try all combo... hehe....

not a guru but heres my 2 cents....

724 jpg definitely has to stand upright as photo taken.

can try placing 725 jpg horizontally like this

then try placing 724 on the right, left, front, back of 725 and see which is the best permutation... :P

sorry like not much help hor... wahahaha.....

hi bros...

i've joined the 2 artificial rocks together..

the left side one has a nice shape,

lots of "shelves" for me to place my frags...

hows the one on the right?

does it look ok?

is it natural? :fear:

hey kiko,

it looks nice bro.

just wondering.......

your floor tiles should be a 2 feet 1 foot square.

that means you still have pretty mush space left in front.....

you can also consider placing both of them straight upright.

then leave the space in front for future expansion. build a lower scape in front. with the 2 tall vertical rocks behind... it will look awesome...

PS: I have another 2 piece of artificial rock which I can pass to you. do you want them?

issit big???

cos julescity was selling it off so cheaply,

in my mind the artificial rocks are suppose to be small..

when i got there i got a shock,

and one of the rock is 1ft long! lol...

hmm.. good idea about the part having lower scape in front..

let me scape first this weekend..

and i'll see how it goes..

thanks for the offer :ThanxSmiley:

you can try to space them out bro.

easier to place corals in future and it will also look more balanced with a gap inbetween the 2 vertical rocks.

Yup having some LR will be good. if you adding more infuture, then place both verticals will look much better i think.

more space for building in future. higher flexibility too.

To be frank, I can't visualize marine rock scape as good as you guys as it include the future life rock that comes with the corals you are adding.

try tearing down your scape every month and do a minor rescape with every WC....

After a while... u sure can! stuart.gif
