    Well heres the scape, only half of it in. Im really trying to go with the minimalist look, i think its working. Tell me what you think, pics dont really do the scape justice. The tank is "foggy" so you cant really get the jagged and natural look that you see in real life. Once the tank clears more ill focus more on the scape while taking pics. Sorry for the randomly hanging 2nd moon light, its going to be mounted just like the other one, just need more glue. Enjoy! In these pics im really trying to show you the custom design i got out of this and how cool it looks. The hole in the pvc in the middle is where a coral frag disc is going to go and im going to glue it on there so no tube worms can get in and the other opening on the left is where the other part of the sculpture goes. I still didnt put a background on so that white pvc that you see, you wont when i put on a background. Its just annoying how in pictures the sculpture it doesnt look nearly as 3d as it does in real life. Or jagid. It just looks like a big blob of rocks in pictures :( O well maybe when it clears and i take pics with a real camera it will do better justice.

    If you are wondering, yes, the light fixture is a little crooked, the moon light hanging from the side is swaying it. Ill get it hanging soon. Again, once the tank clears ill have the other part of the sculpture on and ill take pics with moons, antinics, and a decent camera

    The rocks laying on the bottom left that makes the sculpture look bad, is not part of the sculpture. I just put them in there just for the heck of it until the rest of the sculpture is done. (In other words, they are in no way attached to the sculpture, hence they are not the sculpture ;D)

    ok heres the "fooled with" aquascape. I changed it a lot and put more rock in but i didnt like it, i like the minimalist look more, and so will the fish. I like it, what about you guys? So sorry for the water on the glass i didnt clean up yet. The tanks getting crystal clear, i just kicked up some sand while aquascaping. Enjoy and please, feedback critics! corals, fish, and a background will touch this puppy up nicely!!
