Post pictures of your aquascaping!

Im in the process of setting up a 75gal reef and I was hoping to see peoples unique aquascaping designs. I was planning on using an egg-crate made skeleton structure in the shape of a cave for my tank and attach various size rocks to it to cover it up. Im interested in seeing your unique ways and designs

I didn't have that option due to the center overflow...but should be easy to do. Just thread some rocks with a rod horizantally. Then thread the edges if this horizontal run to two vertical pillars. Bang...instant cave.

This is an OLD picture but the rock is still pretty much the same.

Here is a shot of mine after my buddy and I re-scaped it for a more open pillar look. I took out 30lbs of rock and opened it up with a few pillars. It is hard to tell but the center is one rock in a pillar style with corals coming off its sides. There are a number of corals on the bottom glass in front of the pillar but they have since found homes within the rock structure. On the far left side there are multiple caves with a stair step approach from the front glass to the back glass. On the right side of the tank there is one large cave with rocks in a round about fashion...if that makes any sense . There is a ton of open space and wonderful places to attach corals to come out from behind rocks and such.
