I decided that since I was moving some livestock out (to their new homes) that I would rescape my 75g. I wanted to get away from the dreaded "wall of rock" look, into something a bit more...well, just different. This is what it did look like

And here it is now

I was going for a more open look. First because I find it pleasing to the eye, and second because I get much better water flow. I am having a minor diatom outbreak due to stirring things up, but it will settle down soon.

So, what do you MAASTards think about it?

This really nice! I like the natural look. The rock anemones are awesome!

How old is the tank?

I like the coraline on the back wall. In my tank I just grow brown algae on the back wall, lol. Also, how big is that toadstool?

For those that have been around for a while, Sherita's tank reminds me of GaryP's old softy tank.

Chris, the tank has been up just over a year. I found that when I started adding kalk to my topoff water, my coralline algae went nuts. It's like that in all of my tanks. The back wall of my frag 75g is completely covered, you cannot even see any of the glass.

And when he's not mad about being moved, that toadie is over 10" wide and reaches all the way to the top of the tank (about 16"). I moved his rock, so he isn't talking to me right now.
