![]() It has been suggested to me that my rockwork is too tall for SPS (by a few outspoken reefers). I am very happy for the honest input.
As of now, the rock on the right stands 16" tall in a 24" tank. If I cut along the dotted line, that would bring it down to approx. 10 - 11 inches in height. Simple poll. Cut now, or have a headache later once its all established? Appreciate all input and thank you! ![]() |

![]() I did vote for cutting, but I only mean the rock on the right. Leave the branch, but bring down the height of the right tower to about where your line is. It makes the rock more asymmetric. Perhaps consider using the the rock you take off the top as a low 3rd rock between and in front of the other 2?

Not all SPS grow hugely upwards - stags do, lots of deepwater species do. I wouldn't mount a stag on the top of the branch rock. Haha. That would just look weird anyway. Many of the different SPS shapes (Milles come to mind) would likely outgrow your tank sideways before they would outgrow your tank upwards. One last thing, the epoxy loops you're using to hold the solid structure to the acrylic won't stick very well. I would pop that up and put some crazy glue under it, or drill a hole in the acrylic and use acrylic glue to put an acrylic rod in. You can rough up the rod with a hack saw and get the expoxy to attach to that. Either way, epoxy doesn't stick real well to smooth surfaces. Last edited by Myka; 01-16-2015 at 01:36 PM. |

![]() I'd personally take the whole peace on the right and chisel or dreamel it into a nice 3d shape , right now it's just a larger boulder but that can be changed

![]() Ive been away for a while...
why/how is your scape too high? Do you not have the option of just attaching your sps lower on the 'scape if YOU like the way it looks currently? You're the one who is going to be looking at it all day... |
