That look great Ming69! More reefer should start using fake live rock for their tank. Ecologically friendly. Coupled with Biohome, they would have a perfect environment friendly aquascape that wouldn't harm the ecology where the live rock are harvested. The ocean needs our help!

No more tang. Sigh... The zoas and rics are still in the sump, most of it. Still too lazy to move them.

awesome scape sis! :thumbsup:

inspired by John Ciotti's "upside down reef" ? kudos to bro ambystoma for this picture:

Ciotti's scape was a reference, but it wasn't intentional. A lot depended on the shape of the rocks. After making sure the main piece is stable, I was trying to find a place to secure the GO rock, in the end the best spot was just to put it on top. So it ended up looking a bit like Ciotti's. :lol:

I find that fake rock is expecially good for sticking SPS . I predrilled lots of holes so I can stick frags. It also allows some light to pass thru so I can still place some corals under it.

:lol: Just managed to have a bit of time on hand while the kids are in school and childcare. Luckily, the rocks fitted together without much complications, so managed to fix it up within an hour.

Now I have trouble visualizing part 2 of the scape......

u can play around with plastacine to visualize...everything under the shade and on trunk put nps or little light corals, ie sponges,sea squirt,cauliflower, sun corals, pretty similar to john ciotti tank.. nowadays alot following like the bonsai tree style.. http://glassbox-design.com/2009/thors-bonsai-inspired-sps-reef-tank-revisited/

Soon u will find nps corals is so much colorful and probably only at 10% of price spend on zoas lolx.. pinnacles got 4 really solid red large cauliflowers.. too bad my tank is only 2 ft..

The bonsai tree scape is my all time fav. But I don't have the discipline to maintain it clutter-free. :lol:

Will be playing around with the other LRs to make 1 or 2 more big structures then put them together.

This is the fun part. Do enjoy the process! ^_^

True! But somehow I feel that the rocks look nicer out of the tank. When put inside and start to place corals, it's just not quite right. :chair:

Saw a large fake live rock at GO. I've used 1 that looks like a platform for coral. Easily occupy an area of 2x2.

Think I have enough fake rocks to play with. I have also kept quite a few dead rocks, about 3 small foam boxes. Shd have plently to play with. :lol:

You could try The Golden Ratio for scaping. Factor in the corals you wanna place within the ratio.

Seems a bit to chim for me liao. :lol: Me more of a hands-on kind. Play around with the rocks till it fits. As for coral placement, if the hole fits, will stuff the coral in. :lol:

Golden ratio is what most will call it aesthetically pleasing. In photography is called rule of the thirds. The trick is to have your main point of interest at the intersection. Quite useful, especially for photography and other situation :)

Interesting looking.. this tank is at new place?

Yes. Think the tank and the cabinet might be a tad big for the living room. But, what the heck, it's done. :lol: Can't do much about that now. keke

I'll definately need a ladder to access the tank. :chair:
