I need ideas for the aqua scape of the cube I will be setting up. It will be mainly sps.
Post pictures of your favorite aqua scape - anything!
Thanks!

Where are the overflow(s)? That usually changes the way I think about where the rock work will go. For example if you have 2 corner overflows that space is already wasted so you may want to some rock in both corners. At least that's the way I look at it. hth's

The overflow is located in the center of the cube. The overflow is external, so there is no room that is obstructed.
I was thinking of making a big island in the middle, which could look cool, BUT everyone (a lot of people) do that in their cubes. I am not trying to build a master piece here, but want something a little different and offers more dynamic to the aquarium.

I agree the center "mountain" has been done a lot... can it be done better..... sure, but I've only set up 1 tank so I'll let others chime in. I'm thinking as long as you provide visual interest and functionality like caves and out-croppings it'll look good.

Wait until I finish setting up mine and you can copy :D ..

I like two stacks, one on each side and leave the middle kinda open a bit..

Here is a pic of my 120. You could go with a smaller stack in the middle and then add a bunch of sea grass to th sand bed :)

Looks sweet Tiki, but this cube is going to be barebottom - BB or, JUST enough sand to cover the bottom :)
