AQUASCAPING PICS...please post
 

Hi, I was wondering what types of aquascaping technics you guys are using and hoping you'll post'm. We usually see the fruit stand style, but I'd like to see as many styles as possible. I'll start it off with the fruit stand style for those who'd like to see...

I would post a picture of my tank but I'm the worst aquascaper ever. :D

Here is my attempt:

270 G peninsula/room divider tank with three tall, large rock formations (two on the ends reserved for sps only, middle rock formation reserved for softies).

100 G tank with two "islands", one for softies (on the right), the other for sps:

My more conventionally aquascaped 150G tank with a canyon effect going between the main rock formation and smaller formation on the left (may not be evident in the picture due to the angle of the canyon):

Great aquascapes everyone, Gabe3d Yours is especially aesthetically pleasing. Have you studied Japanese style, yours looks very much like that.

Check out this site, [url]www.reefvideos.com[/url] There are a bunch of video tours of different styles.

Heres my old tank.

Thanks for the nice compliment. I have yet to see a japanese reef, maybe if you can post some pics in here we can all use it as ideas :).
