    Here we go, although the FTS (to me) sucks. All of my frags are still small and my scape is just blah. It's just a bunch of rocks leaning up against the back wall. lame. There are 2 caves, one on each side, the clown cannot get in there, so they are used quite a bit. Also the rockwork allows all (but the clown) to swim behind/between the rocks.

    The sand dunes in the front is from the jerk-face tomato clown who can't leave alone the substrate.

    Thank you!

    Looking at this scape makes the top portion of my tank look so bare... having such a tall narrow tank BLOWS! I wish I could get one side taller, some sort of a different look, I don't know...

    anyone has any ideas, chime in. I'm going to good reef aquascapes and get frustrated in an hour when I've seen so many awesome ones already! haha

    Maybe we could do something that is attached to the back wall of the tank with magnets. Even a couple small structures could be a decent amount of space for more light demanding sps. Plus the amount of flow you have up top would be good for them. It might look a little goofy at first but when the sps grow out it could look natural.

    Ok, I'm sold. This is why we work so well together! I have a bunch of rare earth magnets. Would it be hard to make some rock?
    I'm picturing a corner piece that goes up in the corner...

    Haha. What can I say, Im full of good ideas. I know a couple companies make what Im talking about already. Im just not sure of their names. Id make sure those magnets are reefsafe. But we could definitely do it.

    zesty, I think just adding some rock would take care of your concerns. Of course, corals for on top of the rock :)

    Id honestly just but the rock a mag jr and the rock a mag. One for the corner one for the middle. Its pretty much gonna cost the same if not more to make this ourselves. lol
