SRC Member pokmingsheng Posted June 10, 2010 Author SRC Member Share Posted June 10, 2010 hi bros... i've joined the 2 artificial rocks together.. the left side one has a nice shape, lots of "shelves" for me to place my frags... hows the one on the right? does it look ok? is it natural?

jackywongto Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 hey kiko, it looks nice bro. just wondering....... your floor tiles should be a 2 feet 1 foot square. that means you still have pretty mush space left in front..... you can also consider placing both of them straight upright. then leave the space in front for future expansion. build a lower scape in front. with the 2 tall vertical rocks behind... it will look awesome... PS: I have another 2 piece of artificial rock which I can pass to you. do you want them?

PS: I have another 2 piece of artificial rock which I can pass to you. do you want them? issit big??? cos julescity was selling it off so cheaply, in my mind the artificial rocks are suppose to be small.. when i got there i got a shock, and one of the rock is 1ft long! lol... hmm.. good idea about the part having lower scape in front.. let me scape first this weekend.. and i'll see how it goes.. thanks for the offer Quote My Decomissioned 2ft Cube: (31st March 2011) Carpe Diem~!!!

jackywongto Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 you can try to space them out bro. easier to place corals in future and it will also look more balanced with a gap inbetween the 2 vertical rocks.

Yup having some LR will be good. if you adding more infuture, then place both verticals will look much better i think. more space for building in future. higher flexibility too.

SRC Member Goondoo Posted June 11, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 11, 2010 with a few more arc shapes LR in the front, it will look awesome..... To be frank, I can't visualize marine rock scape as good as you guys as it include the future life rock that comes with the corals you are adding.

After a while... u sure can!
