Live rock layout for saltwater tanks

[Adio800]

I am setting up a 80 gal sw soon and would like to see some ideas or set ups

Google liverock aquascaping, as long as the rock is stable you can do what you want, lagoon, slope, wall, caves, arches, ect. Sorry I don't have pictures. Have fun with it!

Over the years my personal favorite is the Cove aqua-scape.

I've seen some beautiful tanks with an ayatollah style layout, and a friend of mine made a twin peaks style layout with a swimming ridge down the middle, very interesting to watch.

I tried lots of different things...just try and keep the fish happy,i guess.. . I try and make a lot of caves and hiding spots ,,but keep it open in the front of the tank for swimming room...,,and have fun with it,,don't get frustrated with it

Thank you all for the response I'm going with a wall in the middle I'll post a pic later

I build a rock wall along the back wall it leaves to whole front of the tank open and creates plenty of caves. the base

then pile them up

and the caves

Those arent the rocks i use used them just to show how

Looks great.
Nothing beats the joy of building new tank...other than the bank statement

 

[Adio800]

Just added a few more pieces in the back for structure

 

[Adio800]

Yeah that beats it but I've gotten some good deals so it's not to bad yet

Caves and open space is the key for your fish to feel comfortable enough
