Aquascaping is a personal preference. I have a couple of pointers that may be useful though. Stay away from the sides of the tank and the front, this will make it easier to clean witha magnet cleaner. Try to make several caves and ledges, the ledges serve as a place to place corals and the caves make hideouts for fish. You will probably reaquascape to a point almost every time you add something to the tank, so don't get stressed if you don't like it, just change what doesn't look right.

thanks skip i guess i have a project tonight then because the whole thing looks off to me i am thinking its the shape of the rocks that i have but the lfs doesnt have much of a selection on sizes and shapes for my size tank with out taking a hammer to it but IMO that doesnt look right because then you end up with nice coraline on 90% but then you got these spots of ugly white rock so I am at as loss ill just have to keep looking and see if i can find some nice corals on some interesting rocks. thanks

I agree with skip, caves work great for fish to hide or stay in. I have a cave in the middle and my copperband and purple dottyback LOVE it. Also you will learn that if you keep rocks by the edge you will soon change it when it comes to cleaning day;-) Have fun!! James

wow great pics looking good Aaron and also i love your shroom is so danm cute.....

also dont forget to leave space to clean glass and also leave some space in the back for the water to flow so you dont have a dead spot on your tank or it will acumulate waste.....

and about aquascaping ..... gosh that is a though one i think i been changing my aquascape like 20 times already until now the only thing i move is some rock for the new arrivals and skipm is right everytime that a new coral is introduced we tend to move the rock to find a perfect place for it..... good lock in aquascaping... so far is looking really great :shock:

Thank you everyone for your input it has been helpful as far as changing things around I will be doing that again tomarrow or weds thanks to a shipment of new frags coming from drty811 I guess I will just have to do some more looking around and see what unusal shapes I can find or figure out some way to make a PVC stand to use as a base to build a structure off of I would like to compliment each and everyone of you on your tanks also I am very envious ( i know thats spelt way wrong :D) of you all and the work you have done to make some of the most impressive looking tanks I have ever seen I can only hope that mine will look like that some day :D thanks once again
Aaron
