12 hours of Aqua Scaping for This....

[Duffer2]

After seeing some other peoples tanks around town, I decided a tear down and rebuild was in order. Used Acrylic rods (thanks for the info KIEN) and this is the result....





Some day all those little frags will grow up to be nice big spectacular colonies (If I don't kill them first).

very cool...how did you attach everything to the acrylic rods??

It looks great. I like the multi levels and all the arches.

Drilled holes in the rocks slightly larger then the rods and just slide them in. Good old gravity and friction. If it all comes tumbling down over night I'll seriously regret not using epoxy or cement .

The scape looks good, but your Naso is absolutely STUNNING!!!!

I have no idea what it looked like before but I love how it looks now. That Kein dude sure sounds like a helpful guy. Wish I could be as cool as him. Anyway, well done!

Looks precarious and cool! I used to see builds at this stage with all the 2-3 branch frags and think 'man that looks bare'.

Now I've got the single branch frags (true sticks!) and I'm envious haha!

I'm liking this a lot! Any info on the lighting? It looks pretty cool

Thanks. The picture was taken using a Nikon D90 with a large external flash, (which is the only way I can figure out how to get the good picture colour). The tank has a Solaris LED G series and a 4 bulb T5.

I love arches in aquascaping.I just finished aquascaping my friend's 220g Reef-ready. Only spent an hour & a half, but that's cause I didn't have to worry about frags (newly set up fowlr). Didn't use acrylic rods though. I'm guessing you had a lot of drilling to do to get the rods in place.And yes, that Blonde Naso is spectacular!!!!
