Huge Aquascaping Change

[doma25]

I took all 200+ lbs of live rock out, siphoned the sand, left the live stock in and scrub each rock to rid the rocks of the nuisance algae. I then re-aquascaped the tank with an "atlantis theme" in mind. This is the first time I am using non-rock structure in my tank.

The tank is a 150 gallons, 6' long and yes there are fish in the tank. They are all just so shy. I have 2 clowns, a royal gramma , a flame angel and a hippo.


WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK!

im all for the natural look, but sometimes when done right, these "theme" tanks looks nice. I def think this is on the much nicer side! great job!

Looks fine. Slightly different since not many people use ornaments. Anthens type theme? What are your plans, reef/fowlr?

Why are the AIs so high if you have a canopy? Probably lifted it real quick but seems funny not where it's supposed to be.

 

[doma25]

I appreciate the comments! An athens theme works also. I was saying "lost city of atlantis above)

I am 90 percent a fowlr, however, i have a large toadstool in the middle (hosted by clowns) and a large zoanthid rock on the right.

I have a chocolate chip starfish in there that obviously isn't reef safe but it doesn't bother those two corals.

Normally I am not into ornaments in a tank, but this tank looks awesome!! Great job!!!!

Meh

 

[Dejathoris]

Nice Job! Looks great

 

[OOtzie]

awesome ! go fill that sucker up with coral and ditch the fowlr idea

 

[doma25]

loving all the comments! I am too attached to my chocolate chip star to get more corals! Maybe i can get more leathers as i know he doesn't touch those.

What other fish should I get. I want to see an active tank! I haven't added fish out of the fear of fighting and stress between the animals

 

[doma25]

something hardy, peaceful and not shy!

chromis? get a bunch and hopefully they will entice the other fish to come out?

 

[latino277]

some schooling fish would look nice in that tank. My favs are Anthias but, they require multiple feedings a day. Second to that are Fire fish. they will stay in a general area and dart in and out of the rockwork.

 

[doma25]

i like both suggestions, however, i feel as tho the fire fish will be invisible. I want something that will stay visible and not be shy and maybe even encourage the other fish to swim around

 

[salpet]

r u guys serious?

 

[doma25]

@salpet serious about what?

 

[Weicowireman]

Pj cardinals would school and should entice other fish to come out. I like the rockwork.

What is keeping it real is that its his own tank and should be able to keep it real to what he likes .... If you don't like it or have a problem don't post ( Its that easy )

 

[evolution21]

Apparently there are no man made structures in the ocean...I know 1st hand the navy purposely sink ships to create reefs.....

I like the "Lost City of Atlantis" theme. Since you are using this mainly as a FOWLR tank, and as suggested, schooling fish such as the green chromis (school near the top of the tank), cardinals (middle to bottom), etc... that don't grow to big will give the city an added feeling of depth. You've done a great job with the scape, so kudos to you!
