    I'm finally pleased with an aquascape. something most of us obsess about. i dont why we do it but im always thing about how can i change my aquascape.

    this was not as easy as i thought. my tank is nearly full of corals so it was hard fing a place to put my coral as i moved rock around.

    the tanks is over two years old and is the first tank i have ever owned. never freshwater or even goldfish.

    heres a before shot. same pic in the Nano Tank Group

    which do you prefer???

    and some recent coral shots. the blasto and favia came from a trade with my lfs

    The "before" design wasnt bad, but I love the new design. Looks a lot more natural, came out awesome. And all those pics.......:drool:

    thanks for the comments. i thought my original design wasnt bad but i still felt like it wasnt there yet. Also doesnt it look much brighter? i didnt change the lights or anything

    always good to get the approval of the PPE (picture police enforcer).

    WAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!! better than before the mushrooms really make the difference i think and also the division of the rocks looks way cooler the design before looks like you just stacked rocks ontop of eachother because of all the corals. but with the new aquascape even with all the corals it still has definition very nice

    New aquascape is much better looking IMO. It looks like your leather got pissed too from the move. Those blastos have some really nice color too.
