Please excuse the iphone pic

Yeah I love the separate "islands" or penninsula look but I see what you mean, it would be nice if it was spread out a bit more would making 3 stacks make any difference? I love the scape BTW

Thank you very much

I might be pulling out a single rock island, but leaving the four stacks. You really can't see what I mean in the photo.

But I'm planning too upgrade "hopefully" by this time next year, to at least a 6 footer. Which will be much better.

I think your 'scape looks just great
Like all the rest of us, do I keep it ? Does it look good?
Point is, you did a great job and do YOU like it?
It would look fabulous in MY tank

And what size is your tank anyway...
I'm buying a 75g and think your 'scape makes your tank look big

Are you talking about the trench design in the above post?

That's the one, even the larger picture was helpful! I've got about 34 inches front to back so I'm going to try something like that I think, thanks!

Laurie the cube looks stellar! Really like the arch idea, here are a few shots of the different modes of scaping I have gone through:

Arches to start:



Triple islands:



Back to the arches:


Current aquascape:




Me thinks I have a rearrangement problem , there also happens to be two owners to this tank though so lots of opinion battles are played out in the aquascape.

Gripenfelter, thanks for posting the whole photo of that trench aquascape...that has to be one of my top 3 favs, maybe best ever! Really, that one is awesome.

This is one of my saved favourites on my puter (I don't like the coral placement, but like the rocks):
