what would you like to see in a tank

[RayAllen]

Its been a while but on reefcentral a guy had a tank where he let a single Plate SPS take over and it was amazing. Pretty much stretched across the entire aquarium. Its casted a shadow over the bottome half of the tank and gave it a very natural apparence.

Oddly balanced rockwork, elevated above the sand to provide more total surface area. Fish in every area, like gobies/blennies in caves, psuedos in a school, and tangs racing in and out of open rockwork. It is hard to keep rock off the sand in large portions and then stacking rock on top of that to take full advantage of the height in a tank. I always felt that Felipe had an amazing knack for aquascaping.

Oh, and large tanks with one or two rocks in the display. Give a feel of vastness, which there is alot of in the ocean!

I will be doing this with the rebuild.. It will be a single low rock outcropping in the middle of the tank with room for fish to swim through and a natural rocky bottom jutting toward the front of the tank that will be a natural area for clams, gorgonian, ETC.. 6 or 8 colonies of choice sps allowed to grow up and the rest filled in with lps and encrusting corals. the fish list will be long and probably take quite a while to complete. I will have a large school of chromis and Anthias, and probably 4 tangs, ( orange shoulder, Naso, Maybe a Mimic and Desjardini) a couple of Angels and a few wrasses.. basically very similar to what I had.. I miss them

I loved the overhanging plates...w/their multiple layer and color variance it made the tank a little more natural. Even though majority of the rockwork was upright towards the back, we manage to create caves and single out a few pieces of rock by themselves. This is how it used to look. The plates eventually got too large shadowing the large squamosa and started to loose some of its zooxanthellae and we had to remove the plates. After having the same aquascape for the past 2-3 yrs, we are considering in rearranging and if I can get my husband to agree and let go some of the corals, I would love to give it a more open look. http://www.maast.org/forums/attachme...1&d=1231981378

wow! very nice cynthia!

I 2nd that! Any full tank shots?

Also, I like a very minimalistic look: see glass box design.
Minimalistic tank/stand/equipment with minimal rockwork and a few choice fish and corals

I am going to get very creative with my rockwork on a 75g i will be setting up pretty soon. I am sure many of you will like it. I want small schooling fish too
