Heres my 17 gal:

My most important lesson is: less rock = more space for corals

Wow, gorgeous tanks. It's so amazing to see that even in nano tanks, there are endless possibilities when it comes to aquascape. This is inspiring me to actually put a good deal of thought into my scape. BTW, does anyone know whether you can just use regular super glue to glue rock pieces together? Thanks guys, i hope we can keep this thread going!

you can, but i think it would be time-consuming to make it very strong...

Dont use metal! It will eventually rust

If you start with dry rock it will be easier to put pieces together. When i have dry rock i use the combination of superglue/epoxy/superglue. I find this combination to be pretty strong

If the structure is heavy and you still feel unsure about the epoxy super mix you could drill a hole trough the rock and put a fiberglass rod in it to hold the rock structure upright. I say fiberglass because it doesn't bend as much as acrylic

I almost forgot, zipties work wonders too!

Here is my 20g long. Aquascaped using 2- 2lb rocks and 1- .75lb rock, and the wall. Using the smaller rocks up front leaving lots of open space with the large wall makes the tank seem much larger than it is.

I think this is the first rock wall that I've really really liked. Usually it just makes the tank look crowded but you managed to make it look more spacious. Good job!

I redid mine:


Thoughts?

Since i don't have corals yet, I figure I should mess around with the rocks now to find what I like best.
