I love rockscapes like theses, in particular airy like this .

[stadt-mensch]

Absolutely love the setup and the rest of the living room. Still I would prefer white coral sand inside. Makes it just so much more natural.

The tanks look is clean and pristine, which ads to it beauty, fish and corals are great 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Beautiful tank for sure. Personally I like sand for the additional critters and fish you can keep as well as the much more real look. I also think it's possible to find a happy medium between a ton of rock and a minimalist amount, and that's what I'm shooting for.

If and when I got time and money to get back into the hobby I would definitely go bare bottom and try to create a lot of negative space and perhaps some semi-floating reef structures.

Amazing aquarium, good job 👏👏👏 I prefer modern: simple, beauty & practical👌

This is a lot of obvious work and consistent effort, amazing tank. Sweet video 🤙🏻💪🏻😎🤝

The current trend in minimal rockscape / negative space looks slick and very Instagram friendly but I tend to prefer a more natural approach. Part of the joy of reef keeping is that we spend so much time in "perfect" man made artificial physical and virtual environments, having a reef at home allows for an opportunity to introduce some natural wilderness/"chaos" into our life. I don't really have an urge to over manipulate and sculpt it to the point it is looking artificial. I even keep my lights white to enjoy the aquarium as if it was under the natural sun. I often prefer aesthetics of the old school tanks plus I don't think many of these minimal scapes are good for the fish, too few places for them to hide and relax, too few barriers and outcrops for them to be able to each have defined territories, causing stress and aggression.

[cegentry]

Very very nice. Love this set up. I run bare bottom myself. Hard to keep it that clean though. 👍👍

[rolisreefranch]

Is that a glass bottom with the white paint from the stand coming through? Very nice, clean look.

[oureefing]

Great looking reef And a great example of a bare bottom tank

Wie immer ein tolles Video! Danke dafür

[nilsvestergren]

I'm big fan of keeping smaller fish. Beautiful tank 😘

[spicyreef]

I love it!
My fish love the extra space and the ability to maneuver over under and around the Rock-quascape, a couple of inhabitants including a large 6" tang love absolutely love, hanging out under anemone island.
Cheers!
I wish I had a more artistic eye
thanks for sharing...

Maintaining the clean glass and bottom from coraline alage will be quite the chore.

may be im not trendy but i prefer the look with more life rocks. I find them really natural. or maybe im a biotope fan

[scottyjackson]

very nice. I'm also interested in doing this. How does Peter keep the coraline algae from growing on the bottom? Does he use a magnetic glass cleaner underneath?

[TheCotzi]

Looks Great but it wouldnt fit my Style but im a Seatank Watcher Only i have a sweetwater Tank that i dedicated to my GRandpa and i inherited it and its an 80th Style Aquarium Fish stock he loved it over 40 years and it now lives in my place

[riptorable]
