live rock design
 

well im getting closer and closer to getting my tank up and running and i cannot decide on a liverock design.
here's just a poll to see what people with tanks already set up think

if you dont like any of the choices or you want to add something to the choice you made then just reply and tell what and why please and thankyou.

(top little tank is overhead view, bottom is view from the front)

design one

design two

design three(forgot sand on this one, so just imagine it there:P)
http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/h...azy101/LR4.jpg
design four

oh, and the sand depth on thess have nothing to do with the actual depth, its just there to make it easier to visualize

A combo of #3 and #4 would probably be interesting to see!

michika, i like the way you think :biggrin:

rock
 

I also agree

I like #1, with #4 being a close 2nd choice. Make one of the humps in design #1 smaller than the other so it doesn't look so symmetrical. Plan ahead for corals that are 12" tall.

ok, this is probably the rockwork i will go with

Like your design..

I like your new design and it gives you so much options for later on. Just make sure the overhang on the right is secured well.

yeah, thats one thing i either need just the right piece for, or i might make some sort of hook in the shape of a 7 made of acrylic and drill a hole into the LR and keep it going down into the pile below it. i want it to be a nice big 6 or 7 inch overhang

That will be a good sized overhang. Sounds like you've got it all figured out for how to do it, but hopefully you'll be lucky enough to find something at one of the LFS that may work (nothing wrong with wishfull thinking right, I have seen some funky cut rocks in the past)

Definitely like your revised design best... :smile:

Looks like it will work real nice Karazy.
I was wondering.... What size tank are you setting up and how much rock are you planning on using.

its a 29 gallon, and i guess i'll just take as much rock as it takes

this is where i got the original idea for the overhang. I like the look of the almost "floating" overhang
