Got rid of the wall-o-rock

[andy]

Re-aquascaped this afternoon. I'm pretty happy with the result, better than the old wall-o-rock.

Looks good, whats up with the lights?

[DChemist]

I think that looks great- would you want to post a before photo?

Looks great. I like the two seperate islands.

Good job, Andy!

[Nyles]

Just commented because it seemed like you had way more light on the right.

[andy]

Yes, something camera-related really makes it obvious. There is a slight color temp and intensity difference but it isn't that noticeable in person.

Great job, i really like the new look. Your brain looks bleached...

My brain is bleached, the trachyphyllia healthy -- just overexposed (laugh)

[impur]

LOL that explains it then! (laugh)

I think it is a nice rockscape. Do your fish like it?

[andy]

Yes, the Flame Angel in particular enjoys zooting around within and between the new rockwork. The Clowns are sticking to their area (I didn't change that), a little cave under a Monti cap. overcropping. The Yellow Tang just ambles back and forth, doing the Tang thing.

 

And now, all I see is the difference in brightness between one side and the other :P

[Holly]

It looks great! (clap)

I like the open look better too. I did something like when I redid my rockwork after a fish hunt instead of a complete wall. Gives the fish another place to roam. I tried to open up a little bare spot of sand in between like yours, but each time I redo my rockwork, I end up with some on the sand betweeen the hills.

looks good! I have my 40 stretch hex and i am going to go for a "two island" look as well with maybe a bridge across it to put my clam on.

One thing's for sure, aquascaping a 15" wide tank is a bugger. My next will be no less than 24" front to back.

[Ranger]

I did the same on my tank. One main reef side witha small island off to the right with LPS and softies only. I like the channel idea in between and the fish love it. Nice job.
