    Question 220 gal tank design

    Hi

    I am new here... i have a 220 gal fowlr tank and i am planning on getting some larger fish and with my rock setup it wouldnt look good... to me.

    I have some good size fish now and i dont like the way the rocks look.

    I have rocks that go all the way across the tank and go half way up the tank...I will send a pick if i get a chance. I want to make the rocks in the tank look good but i don't know how to set the rocks up to make it look cool... I cant have corals or anemones because my fish would have a field day of eating them so i need some ideas.

    Could people show me picks of how they set up the rocks in their tank. I really need some ideas. Or if you know places where i can get some fake corals that look good.

    THANKS,

    Laura

    Welcome to REEFLAND. I have a 90G tank with 60lbs. of base rock in it. It's probably not as nice as some others on here, but it took me a while to get it to look half way decent. Here is a pic. HTH

    Yeah, I have that book the new marine aquarium, and it has some pretty neat rockscape designs in it. You have a good size tank, so theres a lot you can do. This is my 80 gal. with 50lbs base rock and 70lbs of Fiji. I did two stacks with tons of little and large caves and nooks and such. Thers also a ton of swimming room all around the tank, with an open center, creates a channel type feel. Good luck, and have fun.
