Re: Altohombre's 46 Gallon Showcase Showdown!

I think it just needs some centralization, those rocks definately have a ton of character with really cool facets and coves/caves. It just looks a little spread out is all. I like it though bowfront tanks are some of my favorites. Maybe some base rock under the holey ones just to get them up a little maybe 3-4 inches?

Here is a much better video of my tank. It is a little clearer now and this video will show top view, front view, and side views of the tank.

yeah I think I need some height on the right side. Never really thought too much about it before. Thanks for pointing it out.

I like all the little nooks and crannys in that rock.But I'm thinking like Ryan,Maybe build it up a little more to give you even more places to attach corals.

lol at Reef, they are the same aquascaping. Just a better video I did of it 30 mins later. This proves that sometimes things can look totally different depending on how good you are at a camera.
