Nice! Clean, quite organized! I like the fact that there's hardly anything on the floor.
Signs of a clean freak!
Can't wait to see those frags grow!

Beautiful tank Kinetic.

Chris, do you now have a new tank? Those corals look awesome.

Any newer pics Gasman?

Here is mine:

I wanted to achieve an open aquascaping. Some like it, other do not.. But I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. Now I only have to sit back and wait for the corals to grow some more..

Even with those corals closer to the bottom the coloration is excellent.
Nice aquascape!

Here's what mine looks like these days.
I guess it's more of a "coralscape" than an aquascape.

Fairly new setup, but aquascaped with SPS in mind. I wanted a lot of room for growth upwards and lots of overhangs/ledges. Sorry for the bad pics. Looks much better in person.

Good aquascaping involves the juxtaposition of colors and growth forms and, most importantly, balances positive and negative space in the aquarium.
I couldn't agree more with this comment. The old "less is more" idea seems to escape most reefers. The most beautiful setups are not jam packed with corals in every crevice.

I'm also confused by all the hard work someone will put into setting up a nice aquascape & then kill it with corals littered acrosss the front of the tank........or worse yet a frag rack in the corner.

What he said :-)

Toyota guy: Looks nice! You need to adjust the whitebalance on your camera though ;-) It's kinda green-ish?

Tanks with a lot of corals are good too! There is a lot more to reef keeping than just mere aquascaping. Often we see a tank full of beautiful SPS. Well kept and healthy (Truly the biggest challenge).
What's our first reaction?

WOW!! Eye popping!

Hey Teach, a lot of large, nice colonies there. Nice tank!
