A little tip I picked up is when you put the stone fix on make sure you have some broken up small bits of rock that you push into the stone fix. Makes it look like it's one rock and you can't see the joints

One thing I don’t like about my tank is the scape. When I moved house I upgraded from a waterbox 170.4/5 to a Cade 1800 s2/p. I just dumped everything in as best I could cause the rock already had coral on it. Seeing this video makes me want to pull all my rock out and build a new scape.

Looks good! You could move that front right rock to the left a bit for balance. Also, might want to consider making those front rocks structures that fish can hide within. Especially if you are considering fairy wrasses or any rock-dwelling fish. Fish need places to hide and live. 😊

Yah big homie!!! Yah this is hella hot!!! Recently I’ve made the decision(or mistake lmao jk) of starting up a reef tank myself! I’ve got a 40 or 50 gallon(I’m not entirely sure but it once housed tiger Oscar’s) purchased myself two boxes of Caribsea liverock might get more! Waiting on a RODI system, eshoops prodigy to come in to work out my plumbing that will run into my black dresser that I converted into a tank stand lmao🤷🏻‍♂️ it actually looks so much better then it sounds lol. It’s solid an it will keep my sump out of sight. It’s definitely going to be a lil pricier then I was expecting overall but I couldn’t care less because I’ve wanted a reef tank for how long an I’ve spent a lot more cash on a lot worst things. Anyways with all that said I just want to say “I love the floating look” I definitely will be trying to emulate the look of your aquascape 🙌🏽🙌🏽 I think it looks So awesome

Looks cool, bit of cinstructive feedback, for me personally I would lose the big chunky round rock at the top left hand structure, it's taking away more than it's adding. It will be rather high up and will nearly be at the water surface, so won't really be able to add much in the way of corals to it, and it casts quite a shadow on the Lowe structure already. The overall scape would look much more open without it and you will have more usable space and room for corals to grow. Just my humble opinion 👍👍
@CJSAQUARIUMS
@CJSAQUARIUMS Жыл бұрын
Love the feedback and it was something that was considered for sure… but I purposely wanted a structure touching the water surface. Channeling my old JBJ 45 vibes with a diff twist… tank will be a mixture of corals and rock scape. I have a clear vision and purpose for this build and when it’s done 🔥🔥✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 #StayTuned

Dude, love the scape, specifically the right side floating part. Me and you are in the same boat. I’ve had tanks forever, but I been out of the hobby for almost two years. I’m kindof starting all over but as a novice, just made my scape last week and have the tank cycling rn. I’m learning a lot from the brs channel, and really focusing on taking it SLOWW, and STABILITY.. 2 thinks I really haven’t don’t in the past.

I’ve used both real reef rock and AF. Real reef rock color is a lot deeper purple but under reef lighting the AF rock looks like natural coralline. Both brands of rocks worked for me real reef was heavier due to being live so you got less of it. Just go wit whatever feels right my man 💯

You might consider raising up those lose pieces as well only because I can almost bet they will end up covered with sand. Critters, crabs, fish, just all of them in general will end up putting those under the sand. Maybe not but likely. Just a thought because I like the idea of the raisers on the scape...future plans for sure. Looks good though CJ.
