They weren't BAD before, they just had an Ikea Bükjelv sort of look to them. Now they have a "Brêt's Bjæd Æss Rjockwerk" (say it out loud if I'm being too obtuse)

I dunno. It's a bit facetious, I think, to come out and tell someone that the aquascape looks bad. I don't think there's much 'scapes out there that are bad, just some people have different tastes

Besides, we've all been following this build so long that we wanted to love your aquascape. Kinda like when you finished watching Star Wars: Phantom Menace the first time and trying to convince yourself you loved it for the sheer fact that it was Star Wars. It's hard to admit that it wasn't very good...

I was also expecting you to wave your magic wand and make it look incredible - like everything else you've done in this build. And look! You did!

In summary: new aquascape rocks! now, delete those old pictures and let us never speak of it again >>

If my rocks in any way draw parallels to Jar Jar...well there's gonna be fisticuffs haha. I think you're right we best never speak of this again lol.

I think the problem is we try and make our tanks look good before there is coral in them. A real reef is often a pretty boring boulder or two underneath all the splendor isn't it?

That's what I'll tell my dealer. I'll keep you posted haha.

You just have no idea what to say when you've got no place for a 'MORE PICS' do you? No shortage of those in this thread cowboy.

I like both scapes about the same. The first one purely because of the open sand bed/swimming room. The second one because it gives the tank a more filled out look/caves/hiding spots. I think the 2nd one will work best for optimum coral placement though.
