Does anyone have tips for combining large base rock and branches to make them look good together? I want to redo my scape to add more branches. Right now it is mostly base rock & some arches. I don't like the scape looking like a pile of rocks. I feel the branches will help with flow, fish hiding spots, & coral placement & isolation. From a visual design perspective, what's going to look good? I'm deliberately not using the word natural, but I want the pieces to look congruent. IMO 1... Read more ..read more

Hello all, I have searched for this topic and have kinda come up empty thus far. Anyhow, I have a 20 gallon AIO cube, that currently has some live rock that ,frankly, is not attractive. I managed to put together a new aquascape with dry Marcorock. I am currently in the stages of cycling it in a brute trash can with bottled bacteria, ammonia, and water/ceramic media from my established tank. My established tank has 2 bags of ceramic media and 20 lbs of sand in it currently, is doing a... Read more ..read more

Current Scape What I am thinking I have some additional pieces of cured reefrock and some pieces of really old dead coral that I have been soaking in RO/DI (changed out ever couple of weeks) for ~2 months. The thought is I would create an... Read more ..read more

Hey just wanted to share a quick video of using nyos black epoxy putty on my ledge scape. This is my first attempt at this type scape and only my second scape.

Hi yall, just looking for some aquascaping thoughts or tips. I have a 20g AIO. My pizza box is the exact tank dimensions with the black line at the back being the wall. Received 20lbs of marcorock to play with, but it came as 6 big pieces. Should I break them up with a hammer to create a more thin structure with more bridges/swim throughs and glue it together? Even to use one of the rocks as an island takes up a lot of the real estate... Read more ..read more
