Tank Scape

Rate this Entry
Time for Sand and Rock Scape.
The most important part of a tank setup IMHO and one I hate the most usually.
Was Lucky to have Pierre and Youssef assisting with Scape, Made it a fun process.
Session 1 :
Started with some plans outside the tank.
Having the largest island made of ceramics made things very easy (on the left side that is!!!)


Then we came up with some modifications on the preplaned Ceramics disposition as we thought this display added more 3D effect.


Master Minds in action:


Session 1 results:


So far I’m liking the Ceramics a lot. Far easier to scape to to get the wanted shape without having to stack rocks. Also the combination of them with Dry LR is not as weird as I thought it would be. Must admit that if I knew I would lose my LR and have to bleach it I would have gone 100% Ceramics.

Oblique Side view from second seating area and a very nice perspective where I get to see the left island from below the bridge


Session 2



no sure if I might add some ledges to Rt island or rely on corals for that effect.

    You said the island on the left was made of ceramic. Did you make it or was it purchased?
