Thanks

Yeah i tried to make them look uneven in the picture but it didn't work so well.
I kinda want there to be some very general symmetry, but we'll see how it goes.

I love the aquascaping in that picture, I wonder how that was done so seamlessly.
I dont even have my first tank and I'm already having ideas for my first upgrade to a 150+! haha.

There's only so much you can do with a 75 gallon.

I don't think I will need PVC pipe... will I?

aqua scaping sure does take imagaination and alot of spare time,then worst of all when you're finally done you look at it from a view and automatically see something that can be ''better''! - knowing the right shapes,sizes, and type of rock for what you want to do sure helps, good idea though

Depending on what you will be having in the tank, flow is a huge consideration. Make sure that your aquascaping will let the flow through where necessary. I like the general idea although you will be limited where you can place corals. Perhaps one of the columns could be flatter on top or make ridges that you attach corals to? Again it all depends on what you plan to keep.

if you are going to do towers i would recommend pvc structure. it will be less chance of a rock slide

Cool

:
I agree with Colin use PVC pipe to form your structure ...take your larger rocks and zip tie them to your PVC structure, which in fact form caves.
