Well, aquascaping is difficult at the best of times...but it's REALLY tough when there are corals growing all over it. Who wants to squish the corals you've been growing out for a year? Well....not me

Having said that, I'm fairly pleased. I was originally going for two "islands" of rock, but that didn't work out exactly. Ah well. C'est la vie!

So...It seems like the common thread here is that none of those who have posted so far secure any of their rock?

Aw cmon guy Is...aquascaping is the funnest part (for me anyway). I spent probably 8 hours doing my tank and now that its done Im like, "hm...wish the tank was 300g".
Will do aquascaping for frags or beer or cash.

What gets me is that you take particular care to move your corals out of the way to one side and yet when you have everything just about done you have a landslide that comes down where, right down on top of your corals.

Come to think of it thats how I learned to frag.

In my current setup, all my aquascaping was done just after adding sand, so essentially I tried to build rockwork in a tank of milk. I did it all by feel and surprisingly it came out very close to the way I wanted it.

And no, the only securing used is gravity.
